4 Docket No. 71-6272 q

By application da'ted May. 20, ~ 1985~, Department of Energy requested'aprpoval j

of revised steel waste bins, to be used in the Model No.: 6272tpackage, s

The previous waste bin was-designated as M-3.

The: revised-bins are.

l designated as H-3A and M-4.

The' enclosure to. this Approval Record gives a. physical comparison between-

E-the three bins.

The bins are all.of a.similar-construction with the:

'3; f revised bins having improved lid gaskets made of Neoprene with bonded corners.

(The previous gasket material:was weather, stripping.) The'M-4 bin has a lid constructed off 9-gauge carbon steel rather.than.12-gauge' for the M-3A.

The applicant requested that the _ neoprene-gasket be inspected but'.notl l

replaced on an annual basis. 'As a' matter'of practice, wey require all reusable gaskets of this type'.to be replaced at-least. annually.- 'No new l

infonnation was presented to change our. position ~at-this time.-

2.0 Remove the three lid closure rods' uiilizing a light weight hammer, if required.

NOTE:

The lid closure rods - are labeled' A, B, andL C 'and are to. be returned to the same hole A, B, and C, and-the~ same overpack.

3.0 Using the four overpack lid lifting lugs (see Figure:1),- arrange rigging such that equal forces will be applied during the lift operation.

NOTE:

Since each overpack lid is matched fit and marked.to-its 1

respective container, they should be placed in such a manner to o

provide ease of replacement.

4.0 Load the inner ANL M-3A or M-4 container ensuring that the container is i
