Subject:
Extension of SNM-33 to include a 20" Bird C 3/g and Shipping Container Gentlemen:
We are currently in possession of three shippin6 containers which are obsolete for our requirements.
We are respeetfully requesting extension of the subject license or issuance of a special license authorizing this container for use in accordanoe with the fo11owin6 discussion.
Container Description and Method of Shipment:
' f The container and bird eage are shown on the anolosedAdditional 1" x 1" x 1/8"
$ 2 '-
W awings 3241440 and 3214141.
' d angles will be added to the bird cage to reduoe the openings to less than a 12" square.
- g Only one container will be shipped at a time via air IJEL, TAL or Railway Express.
None of the containers or bird omges will be reused.
f Uranitan Metsi shipments ( Any Enriebpnt) 3 Uranium metal is in the form of whole biscuits weighing pazimately two and one-half kilograms or broken bisonits.
ximan oontent per container would be 11 kilograms of 1
in the osse of whole biscuits, the limited safe mass per Table 1, TID 7016.
For brcken biscuits, the maximum quantity would be determined by dividing by 2 3 (the normal safety i
the minimum oritioal mass factor in mass controlled systems)8 (dolated), " Critical l
dotormined from Figuro 'T of IA 195 Masses of Fissionable Metals as Basic Nuclear safety Data "5
\\
i s
6.9 kilograms of 183 N
For example, no more than 15 8/2 3
=
as metal pieces having an effective diameter of 0.8 inohne would be peakaged in one container.
In any event, the total I
