Transportation Branch A) proval Record Model io. M-130/02W/NR-1 Docket No. 71-6003 Revision No. 10, By application dated July 14, 1981, as supplemented January 19 and July 25, 1988, Naval Reactors (NR), U.S. Department of Energy, requested an amendment to Certificate of Compliance No. 6003 to permit shipment of D2W or NR-1 irradiated fuel cells in a Model No. M-130 irradiated fuel shipping container.

Because the maximum loaded package weight for both the D2W and NR-1 irradiated fuel cells are less than the maximum weight currently authorized for Model No.

M-130 packaging and contents, the review was limited to the evaluation of the 02W or NR-1 irradiated fuel cells during normal and accident conditions of transport.

NR demorstrated that the control rods in the D2W fuel cells will only move a maximum of 4.0 inches as a result of the accident test sequence specified in 10 CFR Part 71. The criticality analysis assumed a 5.0 inch movement of the control rods.

Control rod movement is not a problem for the NR-1 frradia N fuel cells, since the presence of a control rod was not considered in the criticality enalysis.

The decay heat load of the contents has been limited to 19,100 Btu /hr for 02W fuel and 6,000 Btu /hr for NR-1 fuel. These limitations assure that the maximum Model No. M-130 package surface temperature does not exceed 180*F (the limit for exclusive use shipment) for normal conditions. The applicant used a finite element computer model, LION 4, to predict the Model No. M-130/02W/NR-l's thernal behavior under accident conditions. There was minimal lead melt and no damage to the D2W or NR-1 fuel. The pressure calculated under accident conditions was approximately 400 psia. This assumed that 40 gallons of residual water was left in the cask after loading. The cask is designed to withstand 450 psig, and each package is tested to 525 psig.

Containment for the Model No. M-130/D2WNR-1 is provided by the Model No. M-130 contriner and the encapsulation provided by the cladding and weldrents of the D2W and NR-1 fuel plates. There are no penetrations in either the D2W and NR-1 fuel cladding or weldments. The applicant assumed that the Model No. M-130 container vent line could be sheared off during a one-foot side drop or during a thirty-foot side drop. The vent line would not be sheared off under a one-foot drop onto the bottom end of the cask, the case for which the package was evaluated for normal conditions of transport. The staff agrees with the applicant's conclusion that a one foot side drop would not be a "normal" condition for a cask as large as the Model No. M-130. Even if the vent line were to be sheared off,  !

concluded that the release rate under normal conditions would be i theapplicanthag/hrbasedonexperimentalventingmeasurementsonthreeloaded less than A x10" l 2

Model No. M-130 shipping containers. In those tests, the material released was limited to crud and corrosion products adhering to fuel plates. No fission products were detected in the material released through the vent.

Tests by the applicant indicate that only 0.10 percent of the crud or corrosion adhering to the plates would be loosened under accident conditions, i.e., by a force of 280 g's. The applicant has demonstrated that fuel plate cladding integrity is maintained under accident conditions. Therefore, any release of material under accident conditions would be less than an A2 quantity.

The applicant has used a point-kernel shielding computer program to calculate gama and neutron dose rates for normal and accident conditions of transport for the D2W contents and the NR-1 contents in the Model No M-130 shipping container. The above approach together with material shielding attenuation coefficients, matched experiments for both gama and neutron sources having similar source spectrum and shield configuraiton of the Model No. M-130 container and subject contents.

Fission and activation products (for both contents) were calculated using fuel depletion distribution provided by respective core nuclear-power designs and endurance predictions.

The staff has reviewed the appropriate shielding material data, geometry modeling of the cask and source terms, and found them to be accurate for the above first two and reasonable for the third.

For both contents, the side puncture represents the most damaging accident for the shielding analysis and thus represents the accident mode for calculating accident dose rate. for 10 CFR Part 71 requirements.

Dose Rates (mrem /hr)

For M-130 Container Conditions of D2W NR-1 Transport Fuel Contents Fuel Contents Normal (surface-side) gamma 1.5 1.1 neutron 74.0 2.8 Normal (2metersfromsurface) total 7.9 0.1 Accident (side-puncture; 3 ft from package surface) gamma 52.4 61.6 neutron 17.6 0.5

, i s

3 The above tabulated results show that the M-130 shipping container with the 02W and the NR-1 contents satisfies the shielding requirements of 10 CFR Part 71.

Suberiticality for the Model No. M-130 package containing D2W or NR-1 contents for Fissile Class III, one pkg/ shipment, has been established by calculatior using the 3D Monte Carlo RCP01 computer program with the RDS4 cross-section set. A series of D2W and NR-1 criticals have been successfully benchmarked using this program and cross-section set. In addition, in the past NRC has compared k resultsofKENO-123gpsvs.RCP01-RDS4crosssectionsforthesamenavalco$

with excellent agreement.

The staff has verified (via the material disaosition and geometry of the fuel components) the mass loadings of U-235 for tae D2W and NR-1 contents under accident conditions of transport. Control rods are to be locked-in-place for the D2W shipment. Criticality analyses for the D2W contents were based on a conservative 5-inch maximum motion of the control relative to the fuel assemblies (versus an actual 4.0-inch motion).

D2W contents 4 fuel cells plus 2 corner fuel cells or 1 RFA fuel cell.

NR-1 contents 4 fuel modules.

RCP01 k ,,'s (MAX)

CASE D2W NR-1 Normal conditions Two M-130's; internally dry 0.53 0.306 intersp. mod; water reflected Accident; flooded 0.784 0.835 The applicant has satisfied the criticality requirements of 10 CFR Part 71 for the requested 02W and NR-1 contents in the Model No, M-130 container.

The LWBR fuel contents have been deleted from the authorized contents in accord-ance with Naval Reactors lette" dated July 25,1988(GWC 88-5961). These shipments have been completed (telecon Miles to Odegaarden).

The NRC staff concludes that the amendment meets the requirements of 10 CFR Part 71.
