Terry Tehan, Director South Ferry Road Narragansett, R1 02882-1197
Dear Mr. Tehan:
This is in regard to your December 16, 1992 request for approval of a route for transporting spent fuel from the Rhode leland Atomic Energy Commission Nuclear Science Center, Narragansett Rhode Island, to the Department of Energy (DOE) Savannah River Plant, Alken, South Carolina.
The route, as revited and set forth in Enclosure 1, is judged to meet the regulatory requirements for shipment of spent reactor fuel in 10 CFR 73.37.
Enclosures 2 and 3 constitute approval for this route.
This approval does not relieve the licensee from compliance with any requirements of the U.S.
Department of Transportation or other applicable regulatory agencies.
In the event your carrier is required to deviate from the approved route, please call the contact listed on page two of this letter as soon as pos-sible providing the details.
Please note that armed escort is required in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania; Salem, Virginia; Charlotte, North Carolina; and Columbia, South Carolina. This route approval will be deemed to have expired two years from the date of this letter, unless renewed.
Arrangements with law enforcement agencies along the route as required by 10 CFR 73.37(a)(2) have been completed by the NRC staff.
Data relating to these arrangements are included in Enclosure 3.
This information is to be incorporated into your shipment plans and provided to your carrier along with instructions regarding its use.
Please note that assuring highway safety is the responsibility of the licensee and carrier, and our approval is not intended to provide relief in this regard.
During seasonal periods when inclement weather can occur with short notice, the appropriate state police should be contacted with regard to road conditions before a shipment commences.
