' Enc 1 to memo dtd: APR 3 0 MS J1.

The Fibe'rglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) HIC does not incorporate a

~ tamperproof feature.. A tamperproof feature is required by 10 CFR 571.43(b)

.and 49.CFR 5173.412(b) for.use of a Type A package for transport.

'2.

Therequirementsof10CFR571.45(a)and49CFR6173.411(d)for.

failure of lifting devices under excessive load was not addressed.

3.

It was not shown that the. lifting devices, which. could be' used as

' tie-down. devices, are designed to meet the requirements of 10 CFR 971.45(b) or 49. CFR 6173.412(1).

4.

Clarify.the: discrepancy between the gross package weight shown on Drawing No. B-334-D-0005 and the gross package weight used for the

~

drop tests (shown on Page 4 of Appendix 14). The weight used in all structural tests should be gross weight.

5.

The 45* drop on the closure end ves concluded by the applicant to be the most damaging orientation because it caused both the initial impact on the top corner and the secondary impact or " slap-down" on the container side wall. However, the applicant should also check for possible significant damages caused by the center of gravity over the top corner and bottom corner drops.
