By notice in the Federal Register dated August 4, 1977, the r,-
3 sion issued amendments to 10CFR71, effective October 18, 1977.- The amen om s upgrade requirements for quality assurance in the design, fabrication, assembly, testing, use and maintenance of packagings for shipping and transport of licensed radioactive materials. Further, the amendments require a statement of compliance with 10CFR71.51, Appendix E, " Quality Assurance Criteria for Shipping Packages for Radioactive Material," to be f ' ~ ed with the Commission along with a description of our program for implementing Appendly E.
To facilitate the implementation of the above regulation, spent fuel shipping casks have been reclassified as safety-related equipment. With this reclassification, our compliance with 10CFR50, Appendix B, " Quality Assurance Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants and Fuel Reprocessing Plants," which was pre-viously established by the Commission's approval of our current quality assurance program, is tantamount to compliance with 10CFR71.51, Appendix E.
The requirement to file both a statement of compliance and a description of our quality assurance program governing shipping casks, therefore, is considered to have been met.
In addition,10CFR71.51 requires that packagings for shipment of licensed radioactive material, approved for this use prior to July 1,1978, be deemed to have been designed, fabricated and assembled in accordance with a quality assurance program which satisfies the provision of 10CFR71.51(a).
Enclosed is a statement from our spent fuel shipping cask supplier certifying NAC-1 Casks to be designed, fabricated and tested in conformance with the pro-visions of 10CFR71.51 that were in effect at the time of package approval.
If there are any questions regarding the above please contact me.
