TRANSPORTATION BRANCH SAFETY EVALUATION OF THE HITTMAN NUCLEAR & DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION MODEL HN-600 PACKAGING USA /9080/A Encl to Ltr dtd ., /)
Sumnary
)
By application dated August 18, 1978, Hittman Nuclear & Development Corporation requested revision to the approval for shipment of low specific activity radioactive material in the Model No. HN-600 packaging.
It was requested that the weight limit of the contents, secondary con-tainers and shoring be increased to 13,000 pounds and the total package weight be increased correspondingly to about 48,000 pounds and that the
- Type A secondary container limitation be deleted.
The applicant has submitted packaging drawing revisions and structural evaluations to show that the effects of the one-foot free fall test u, required under normal conditions of transport will not significantly -/
reduce the package containment ability and that the lifting and tie-down requirements are met. [
Based on the statements and representations contained in the application, the staff has concluded that the Model No. HN-600 packaging and contents, as described, satisfy the requirements of 10 CFR Part 71.

Drawings The packaging is fabricated in accordance with Hittman Nuclear & Develop- -
ment Corporation Drawings Nos. : C001-4-9600, Sheet 1, Rev. C; C001-4-9601, .

()
Structural / Thermal Evaluation The applicant has shown that the general standards of 10 CFR Part 71 have been met. The lifting and tie-down devices, if overloaded to failure, would not impair the ability of the packaging to meet other requirements in the regulations nor significantly decrease the shielding properties of the packaging.

The applicant has demonstrated by analysis that the packaging satisfies the performance requirements for normal conditions of transport when subjected to the free drop tests described in Appendix A of 10 CFR Part 71. The secondary containers or activated solid components are positioned within the cask to minimize secondary impacts. While there may be localized damage as a result of the one-foot free drop, containment for normal conditions of transport is assured by the cask seals.
