i CHAPTER 1.0 GENERAL INFORMATION 1.1
==
Introduction:==
This document represents a consolidated application for renewal of Certificate of Compliance 5768, for the Model BB-250-2 shipping container, used for the shipment of fissile material.
1.2 Package
Description:
1.2.1 Packaging 1.2.1.1 Model Number:
BB-250-2 1.2.1.2
==
Description:==
Inner container is 11-1/2" ID,16-gauge steel cylinder, 63-1/2" long, with bolted and gasketed top flange closure and seal welded bottom plate.
Inner container is centered and supported in a 22-1/2" ID by minimum 74" long 16-gauge steel drum by 1/4" diameter, spring steel rods and vermiculite. Maximum weight of packaging and contents is approximately 650 pounds.
- 1. 2.1. 3 Drawings:
The BB-250-2 packaging is constructed in accordance with Babcock & Wilcox Drawing 10-F-771 (included as Appendix A to this application).
The outer cover is secure by either a 12-gauge closure ring or, six (6) 1/2" diameter bolts or studs with nut. Westinghouse Electric Corporation Drawing C7108D10 is included as Appendix B and U.S. Military Standard MS24347 is included as Appendix C to this application.
1.2.2 Contents of Packaging:
Application is made for the following categories'of contents:
1.2.2.1 Bulk uranium oxide (UO2 or U 0 ) powder with a maximum 38 density of 2 g U/cc and enriched to a maximum 5 w/o in
'the U-235 isotope.
The maximum H/V atomic ratio, con-sidering all sources of hydrogenous material within the inner container shall not exceed 1.13.
The inner container has dimensions of 9-3/4" diameter x 12".

F 4
Total contents not to exceed 315 pounds, with the U-235 content not to exceed 6.25 kilograms.
1.2.2.2 Uranium compounds which will not decompose at temperatures up to 750 F.
Uranium may be enriched to a maximum 5 w/o in the U-235 isotope. The maximum H/U atomic ratio, con-sidering all sources of hydrogenous materia; within the inner container shall not exceed 1.5.
Total contents not to exceed 250 pounds, with the U-235 content not to exceed five (5) kilograms.
Four (4) steel drums containing not more than 1.3 kilograms U-235 each shall be packaged in the shipping insert within the inner container as shown in Westinghouse Electric Corporation Sketch SKA-252-1 (Appendix F to this application) and Drawing C7108D10.
The steel drums shall be constructed in accordance with U. S. Military Standard MS 24347 with a maximum ID of 8-1/2" and a nominal height of 15.4".
1.2.2.3 Uranium oxide pellets, enriched to a maximum of 4.0 w/o in the U-235 isotope. The maximum H/U atomic ratio, considering all sources of hydrogenous material within the inner container, shall not exceed 3.0.
The contents described herein shall be contained in either:
a.
Metal inner containers having 9-3/4" diameter, or b.
The inner container shown on NUMEC Drawing 10-F-676 (Appendix D to this application).
Total contents not to exceed 250 pounds, with the U-235 content not to exceed 4.0 kilograms.
The inner container shown in Babcock & Wilcox Drawing 10-F-771 shall be secured with twelve (12),1/2" diameter bolts only when utilizing method b. above.
1.2.2.4 Uranium oxide enriched to a maximum 4 w/o in the U-235 isotope.
Chemically-bound or physically-bound water in mixtures is permitted. Slips or slurries that exhibit a visually discernible liquid second phase are prohibited.
Total contents not to exceed 200 pounds, with the U-235 content not to exceed 2.95 kg. The contents shall be
'ontained within two (2) 9.75 inch diameter by 12 inch c
high scaled metal cans.
Empty metal cans will be used to make up the remaining spar,e within the inner container.

...o 3.5 Fissile Class II The maximum number of shipping containers that could be transported due to weight limitations imposed bf governmental transportation regulations would be less than 100.
Five times.that number, or 500 units, is less-that the snallest undamaged array allowed. Two times that number, or 200 units is less than the smallest damaged array allowed.
f00=0.5.
Thus:
Therefore, any package described in this applicatio'n except for 3.4.C.1 i
and 3.4.C.2 would be assigned a transport index of 0.5.
For 3.4.C.1 and 3.4.C.2, one-fifth the undamaged array,14 is smaller than one-half the damaged array, 20 hence 50 = 3.57 or 3.6 transport units would be assigned, ll? -
