(a)

For any package containing water and/or organic substances which could radiolytically generate combustible gases, determination must be made by tests and measurements or by analysis of a representative package such that the following criteria are met over a period of time that is twice the expected shipment time:

(i) The hydrogen generated must be limited to a molar quantity that would be no more than 5% by volume (or equivalent limits for other inflam-mablegases)ofthesecondarycontaigergasvoidifpresentatSTP (i.e., no more than 0.063 g-moles /ft at 14.7 psia and 70*F); or l

l_

(ii) The secondary container and cask cavity must be inerted with a diluent l

to assure that oxygen must be limited to 5% by volume in those portions of tho package which could have hydrogen greater than 5%.

must be prepared for shipment in the same manner in which determination for I

UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION 0-n h *-

WASHINGTON, D. C. 20555 APPROVAL RECORD Model No. 6272 Certificate of Compliance No. 6272 Revision No. 10 By application dated December 9, 1989, as supplemented May 4, 1990, US Ecology requested renewal of Certificate of Compliance No. 6272 and provided Operating, Inspection and Maintenance Procedures. The only changes to the package since Revision No. 8 was approved on April 1, 1985 were the modification of the steel waste bins used in the package by ANL (Revision No. 9, dated June 14, 1985) and the provision of the Operating, inspection and Maintenance Procedures on May 4, 1990. The revised procedures and provisions in the regulations concerning the form of plutonium and use of packaging fabricated after August 31, 1986, have been included in the approval.

The staff concludes that the statements of the original application, as supplemented, satisfy the requirement for renewal of the Certificate of Compliance.
