By application dated January 27, 1986, Nuclear- Packaging, Inc. (NilPAC) requested changes to their referenced package designs to reflect field experience. The ratchet binder torque is increased from 50 ft-lbs to 100+10 ft-lbs and the primary lid gasket thickness may be 0.38 through 0.5F-inch thickness. It was stated that these changes will result in a more reliable seal. The above certificates have been revised to require the higher torque value and pemit the range in gasket thickness.
The above changes will not effect the ability of the casks to neet the requirements of 10 CFR Part 71.

By application dated December 14, 1984, as supplemented on May la and November 22, 1985, NUS Process Services Corporation (NUS) requested amendments to the above certificates. The changes involve component and material changes and redesignation of the cask model numbers for packages constructed to the drawings provided by NUS. Each cask must meet the Acceptance Tests and Maintenance Program of Section 8.0 of the Nuclear Packaging, Inc. application. In addition, revised Operating, Maintenance, Gamma Scanning, and Leak Testing Procedures applicable to the NUS packages were provided and may be used as applicable and in lieu of pertinent parts of Section 3.0 of the Nuclear Packaging. Inc. application. As a result of operating experience with similar packages, the ratchet binders on the cask lid must be torqued to 100+10 ft-lbs.
The above changes will not effect the ability of the casks to meet the reauirements of 10 CFR Part 71.
