(1) Type and form of material (continued)
(iv) Plutonium sources in excess of twenty (20) curies per package must be at least double encapsulated in a metal capsule such that the sources meet special form criteria defined in 10 CFR 571.4(o).
Inner and outer capsules are individually leak tested during fabrication per AWSI N542-1977, procedure A2.2.3 (He pressure bubble test), or equivalent.
(2) Maximum quantity of material per package and fissile class (i) For the material described in 5.(b)(1)(1), the maximum fissile material and maximum hydrogen per package for Fissile Class I is as follows:
Maximum fissile material Hydrogen Material Fissile per package, per package, Material kilograms grams U-235 1.6 20 Pu 0.9*
11 U-233 0.5 6.4
- Because of the 10 watt thermal decay heat limitation, the limit for Pu-238 is 0.02 kilograms.
Plutonium in excess if twenty (20) curies per package must be in the form of metal, metal alloy or reactor fuel elements.
(ii) For the material described in 5.(b)(1)(i) the maximum U-235 loading for uranium bearing materials with an H/X < 3 and the minimum transport index to be assigned to each package for Fissile Class II is as follows:
Maximum Minimum Kas U-235 Transport Index 4.2 0.1 l
5.4 0.2 1
7.3 0.5 9.1 1.0 (iii) For the material described in 5.(b)(1.'/fi) the maximum quantity of U-233 is 500 grams at an H/U ratio not to exceed 20, as Fissile Class l
III with a limit of 51 packages per shipment. The package size shall not.be less than 55 gallons.
(iv) For the material described in 5.(b)(1)(fii) the maximum quantity of material is not to exceed 20 Ci radioactivity and 40 ml of solution.
Fissile material shall not exceed 10 grams.
(v) For the material described in 5.(b)(1)(iv) the maximum quantity of plutonium is 100 Ci.
