Introduction A telephone conference call was held on November 7 - 1990, at the request of Long Island Lighting Co. (LILCo), to discuss transporting the.Shoreham reactor pressure vessel (RPV).
LILCo stated that they were exploring several options for removing the RPV from the plant. One option was to remove the RPt whole and to transport it intact to a dis >osal site.. - To'furtherl evaluate this option, LILCo was requesting that tie NRC Transportation; Branch discuss the requirements that apply to qualifying the reactor vessel as a radioactive materials transport package.
It was emphasized that no decision.had yet been-made en the disposition of the RPV, Discussion The discussion centered on the attached handout. The handout'was transmitted by: facsimile to NRC staff on November 6,1990.
1.
Package Description The fuel has been removed from the RPV. Other components which may have high concentrations of radioactivity may also be removed. Most reactor internals would remain in the vessel. The head would be removed-from-the vessel, and a cover plate bolted over the vessel opening.L Other nozzles would be cut off close to the vessel, and.would'also have cover plates. The head would not be part of the package. -Pipes acting as an impact limiter would be used in some' areas around the vessel.. The vessel dimensions are approximately 20 feet in diameter by 67 feet long.
The vessel wall thickness is approximatelyL5.5 to 6.5-inches.. The total package weight is estimated'at 800 tons.

Radioactivity i
The estimate of radioactivity is included-in the-handout. -The estimates indicate that the vessel and its internals may qualify as low specific activity radioactive material.
It was suggested that if an application is submitted, that-the neutron flux levels and neutron energy spectrum i
R be described in the application, and that benchmarking radiation measurements be reported. Sufficient.information should be provided so l
that NRC staff can perform independent-verification calculations'of-l radioactivity and radioactivity concentration.
3.
Structural Evaluation The structural issues discussed are included in the handout. The structural analyses would consider two oblique drops at shallow angles.-
One dro) would look at impact at the vessel flange, and one-at-the bottom lead. :Some type of impact limiters will be used. The current concept is-to place pipes at particular points to absorb impact energy.
Impact limiters would also be used to prevent nozzle stubs from direct impact.
NRC staff stated that force-deformation-information would be required for. any impact limiters.
NRC staff recommended that elastic analysis be used for drops.
Load combinations should include stresses due to impact, pressure and thermal loads. NRC staff stated that fracture toughness of the package should be inherent in the material.
NRC staff stated that'it will not be-necessary to evaluate crack initiation and propagation if the material itself can be shown to have adequate fracture toughness. Operational controls, such as confining-the shipment to summer months, could possibly be considered in the-evaluation of fracture toughness in extremely, low temperatures.
