o I

l cask is a right circular t.ylinder with a 34-inch ID by 63-inch IH cavity.

The walls of the cask contain a lead thickness of 5.75 fnches g

g, encased in 0.5-inch thick irner steel.shell.and 1.0-inch thick outer i

IlI steel shell. The exposed' sides of. the package are provided with a i}

R thermal barrier censisting of a 16-gauge wire wrap on 6-inch centers E

and covered with 0.25-inch thick steel iacket.

The 0.5-inch thick

[i (inner) and 1.0-inch (outer) thick bottom steel plates encase 6.25-l g'

inch thick lead shielding. The stepped top shielding cover has 0.5-l' inch thick inside steel plate and'1.75-inch thick outside steel plate (l

I separated by 6.25-inch thick lead.

The cover is secured with twelve

{'

(j equally spaced 1-1/2-inch closure bolts and a solid silicone flat I

gasket.

The cask is provided with sealed drain and vent lines.

The top and bottom'of the cask is hrovided with steel encased, rigid l

h polyurethane fcam impact limiters.

I By application dated September 11, 1987, as supplemented January 11 and March i

7. 1988. Nuclear Energy Services. Inc. requested that the Certificate of Compliance No. 9193 be amended to incorporate the latest revision of the follo @ c packaging drawings:

Drawing Nos. 83E0337. Rev. 6; 83E0338. Rev. 6; and 83E0339, Rev. 7.

c The packaging drawings have been revised to provide for alternate construction l

details (e.g., velds) and some options on the materials of construction.

These t

changes are the result cf the experience gained during the fabrication of the first cask.

l l

The alternate construction details and optional material specifications have l

been reviewed and it is concluded that these options have no significant i

effect on the ability of the package to meet the recuirements of 10 CFR Part 71.
