III-69-03 03/05/69 Goodyear Atomic Corp., Portsmouth, OH, to United Nuclear Corp. (UNC), Hematite, M0 One cylinder (15.8 kilograms of U-235 as UF6, 97%
enriched) was one of a shipment of three to UNC, plus four other cylinders shipped at the same time to Kerr-McGee at Oklahoma City. All seven cylinders were off-loaded at St.
Louis to continue by truck. One of the Ketr-McGee cylinders was left at St. Louis instead of the subject (UNC) cylinder, uhich was sent to Oklahoma City via..ir Cargo Trucklines.
When TWA personnel noticed the mistake, they arranged to exchange cylinders. Subject UNC cylinder was placed on TWA Flight 70 for return to St. Louis on March 7, and UNC l
was so notified. On March 12 the cylinder had not arrived and a search was instituted; it was found in the TWA l
freight terminal in Boston with its contents intact. The cylinder apparently had not been off-loaded in St. Louis, but continued on to JFK Airport in New York where it was transferred with other equipment for the continuation of i
Flight 70 to Boston.
Contributing causes to the delay of this shipment were (1) heavy backlog of air freight traffic because of I
American Airlines strike; (2) further backup of freight at Boston because of recent snowstorm; (3) failure of UNC to follow shipment closely; (4) lack of protective signature i
service; and (5) two similar shipments by GAT at the same time and via same route with different destinations.
This incident precipitated the publishing of 73.31 of 10 CFR Part 70 (Physical Protection of Special Nuclear Material i
in Transit) as an effective ~ rule.
