SUBJECT:
Special Nuclear Material License No. S&33 - Sbipping Containars
Dear Mr. Johnson:
On 31 October 1958 we submitted an application for two shipping containars for uranimma dicaide.
This application was supplamented by additional information on & November and 30 December. We request that you consider the appiination for the two shipping containers on the basis of the following information rather than the previous information supplied.
5 n=11m drum in a 55 shortf 1.
For shipments at alinited safe" batches between the assay of ~3% (approx 1-mately 86 lbs. of urantina) up to 10% (approrlantely 13 lbs.. of uranium).
2.
Mairin=== quantity to be shipped in any one load to be fpil trook or earload, singla layer.
3 Navi-tr=aviaad, 70 dress - Maximum boxnar load, 90 drums.
In a singla layer steok, solid angla subtended by the centzel drun is calenlated Package sine 11-3/h* diamater, as follows,a ing method B.1, Page 3h of TID 7016.1141 st.r, ---.a. t..d,.p ins 22-uk,
