(1) 2el: Lithium Hydroxide Fire and Brpact Shield I

(2)

Description:

Packaging for irner Type A and DOT Specification 55 packages to pennit transport of Type B and lan;;e qualtities of radioactive materials and 2.imited quantities of fissile materials, which are cmtained within inner special fonn encapsula-tion or DOT Specification 2R containers. The irner vessels will be blocked to minimize movement during transport.

The inner cavity of the shield is a cylincier 27 in. diameter x 26 in. high.

The outer shell is 36 in. diameter x 30-3/4 in, high.

The lid is 4-5/8 in, thick. The shield is fabricated frun 1/8 in. thick 304-L stainless steel with the 4-1/4 in. noninal space between inner and outer clad-ding being filled with LiOH H O crystals. The outer surface of the shield has 2

92 vertical cooling fins. The flanged closure is h71d in positicn by tvienty l-inch alloy steel bolts.

The gross weight of the package.is 4,000 lbs.

LiOH Fire and Imoact Shield General 1.

Section 1.7 fully describes the inner containers used for normal form i

shipments. The analysis of the inner container performance under both nor-mal conditions and accident conditions, demonstrate that the inner con-tainers has no detectable leak.

2.

Attached is a drawing of the gamma shield.

t-Containment l

1,2,3 - The ar.alysis of the inner containers demonstrate that the normal and i

accident ' conditions will not cause a detectable leak.

If no detectable leak will be present, no specific containmr.nt criteria is needed.

4

- Plutonium is no longer shipped in this cask. The report will be revised 5

to indicate this.

I l'

Testing and Maintenance l

1.

All special form or DOT or containers are leak tested before shipment. The test is the air bubble, vacuum and glycol described in ANSI standard i

N14.5-A3.6. _ Attached is a copy of the procedure used.

i Shielding 1.

All containers are checked prior to shipment to insure radiation levels are within allowable limits. Due to the presence of LiOH shield, no reduction in gamma shielding is expected as a result of accident conditions.
