traffic situations, nochanical oquip. cat probic.s?
17.
The carrier of the spent fuel has not been selected.
Duke is evaluating both hauling the fuel itself ar.d contracting this service with a carrier.
Criteria for determining who will haul the fuel will be carrier experienced in transporting radioactive material, driver experience and training in the same area, and cost.
The selection of drivers and the trans-portation route ultimately used will be the prerogative of the carrier.
However, regardless of who carries the fuel, responsible and experienced drivers will be employed.
There are no known restrictions that Duke will attempt to enforce as far as selection of routes or departure-arrival times.
However, Duke Power Company will reserve the right to postpone or delay shipments due to weather conditions or n

Duke Power has now or on order two NAC-1 shipping casks that are built to the following specifications:
Cask weight, loaded, Ibs.
50,000 Cross vehicle weight, lbs.
<73,280 Overall cask length, inches 214 Minimum loading height, inches 200 Clearance above highest fixed object, inches 258 Cask diameter, inches 50 Internal cavity length, inches 178 Internal cavity diameter, inches 13.5 Shield thicknesses, inches lead 6.625 water 4.5 This cask is designed for one PWR assembly with a maximum enrich-ment of 3.6 w/o U-235.
The cooling system is that of a water filled cavity surrounded by lead shielding. The cooling system requires no pu=ps or motors and has no backup system.
20 If Dake has selorbed or identified tho spent ftml transport ends, are thy taifornly of tho sa:no denign and r:nnfacture? Arc thcry the identical type of cad recent3y testod by the goverancab7 If so, provido the Ibil dormacnbation ca this terb progran incluhg such phyninc1, factors as i

cyninntion of the cats. If Dako does ncrb p32m to use this type of tad, provido all avnihblo test data. f,r tAe typ se fechf.
20.
The casks purchased for the planned shipments are identified as NSF-4 casks in the Certificate of Compliance issued by the Nucicar Regulatory Commission, and are also knoen as NAC-1 spent fuel casks.
It is possibic that one or more additional casks of the same or possibly dif ferent design will be utilized in future shipments.
None of the casks used in the initial transfers will be identical 5
to those recently tested under the auspices of the Department of Energy.
For economic reasons the casks used in the recent crash tests were not presently employed for shipping spent fuel.
How-ever, current design standards are as stringent if not more severe than those undt.r which the casks used in the crash tests were built to.
rwY 3-The design of the NAC-1 cask is such that they have been analyzed to be able to withstand the required tests listed in 10CFR 71.36 Appendix B.
These tests are 1) 30 foot drop onto an unyiciding surface 2)
Puncture test over 40 inches of drop 3)
Thermal test of 1,475 F for 30 minutes 4)
Immersion for 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> with all portions under 3 feet of water.
- 31. What is the radiation intensity of Oconce spent fuel assoublics in tho plane of the longitudinal bisector. at 1 meter from the nearcat elemerf.,
i at 90,120,150,180, 360, A0 and 720 dayn efter last irradiation 1 31.
The following radiation Icvels were calculated for spent fuel at a distance of one (1) meter in air from the axial center line:
Fuci As;e _ (days)
_ Radiation Level (R/hr.)
e 6
0 3 x 10 120 4 x to' 2 x 10'4 360 720 1 x 10
- 32. What is the mas of fuc1 in an Oconeo assembly? in a McGuire assembly?
- 32. Values for mass of fuel assemblies:
McGuire Oconce Uranium.(Total) 461.5 (Kg) 463.6 (Kg)
U-235 2.1 - 3.1 ut. %
2.0 - 3.2 wt. %
- 33. Provido the deball drairiligs which shoa the i\\tc1 pool assemb2y rack for licouiro 11101; chow the detail nodification for accomodating Oconce fuel, c.
33.
Picase find attached an isometric drawing of the lower portion of a typical McGuire fuel storage rack (Figure 1-33).
For a description of the spacer insert used during the storage of Oconee spent fuel in the McGuire Unit 1 pool, please refer to the McGuire FSAR, Section 9.1.2.4 (Rev. 27).
