l Deer Mr. Johnson:
's 8 l t in Following several' discussions with Dr. A. D. Callihan, Oak Ridge, regarding l
3 the difficulties in calculating K,ff,, Dr. Callihan suggested an alternate approach; namely, Ussa density in accordance with provisions of TID-7016.
i As a result of this suggestion, we have made the following calculations and request that our applications of 13 October and 3h November be modified as follows:
$i s Gallon Drum in a "$$ Shorty" (Drawing Nos. 3369-2 and 3369-3) 1 Maximm weight per drum to be 60 lbs. (I.C.C. embossing fair Standard 37-A l
a.
l 5 gallon drum) or " limited safe" batch according to Table 17 of E-1019
/
Part h. deleted whichever is==aliar.
i b.
Container to be used for 35 to 10% enriched natorial.
Isolated cubia array to be considered having =)=v4=== nualier of units i c.
array - 50.
(Note Table 6, Page 16, TID */016.
