Dear Mr. MacDonald:

The Department of Energy (D0E) is in immediate need of your assistance in obtaining a limited amendment to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)

Certificate of Compliance No. 6144. This limited amendment would be similar, and for the same material, as that issued by the NRC, Enclosure 1, on October 13, 1983.

U.S. Ecology, the owners of the containers and Safety Analysis Report for Packaging (SARP), were contacted regarding the proposed change. Since this is a special DOE shipment on behalf of the Department of State, they preferred that the DOE pursue the change.

The requested amendment, Enclosure 2, will differ from that issued in October 1983, in that additional contents will be allowed. These contents will consist of six drums containing radioactive liquids to be placed in the Model B-2 shipping container. The liquids will be in plastic carboys, centered in 17H or 17C drums, and contain at least twice the absorbent material to contain the liquids. These are identified as items 15 and 16 in Enclosures 3 and 4.

This one time shipment is currently located in Monterrey, Mexico and is to be shipped to Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL) at Idaho. A tentative schedule has been set for the week of July 21, 1986. The shipment from Mexico into the United States (U.S.) will be made in accordance with International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Safety Standards, Safety Series No. 6, 1973. Within the continental limits of the U.S., the shipment will be in accordance with the Department of Transportation (DOT) Regulations, 49 CFR l

100-177 and the NRC Safety Standards, 10CFR71.

The following is supplemental background information in support of this request for a limited amendment.

The Department of State has requested that the DOE accept the return of certain U.S. origin radioactive material and equipment from Mexico, in the interest of promoting the common defense and security of the U.S., and the DOE has agreed to do this as soon as possible.

The radioactive material and equipment contains twenty-five 55-gallon drums containing a total of approximately 80 curies of americium-241, in solid and liquid form, that was originally sold to a Mexican national by a U.S. company kogeogCK0710 80 86071o C

2 which has gone bankrupt and lost its NRC license. The U.S. company allegedly failed to provide the necessary operating knowledge for the radioactive material and equipment, which was intended for the manufacture of smoke l

detectors, and the Mexican government requested its return to the U.S.

The Idaho Operations Office will arrange for the acceptance of the U.S.

origin radioactive material and equipment, transportation to the INEL, and l

i storage at INEL pending later research and development evaluation to J

determine potential recovery value for reuse in the U.S. contains the original request and inventory presented to the NRC in 1983 from SAD Metallurgical, Inc. contains the inventory submitted to the DOE at the time of the request from the government of Mexico with a basic translation. is a letter from the Texas Department of Health to the Mexican recipient stating the shipment met the previously amended certificate in November 1983.

The DOE and 00T sent a team of four personnel to Monterrey, Mexico on April 29 to May 1, 1986, to hold meetings with the Mexican authorities and to survey the intended shipment.

In the opinion of the U.S. team, the material observed is the same material that was originally shipped. No attempt has been made to setup or use it and the drums are acceptable, as is, to transport to the INEL. The Mexican and U.S. team opened six (6) drums and found no evidence of corrosion that would impair the integrity of the drums and verified that two of the drums containing liquids did contain twice the absorbent needed to contain the liquid and that the liquid was contained in plastic carboy type containers.

The DOE has held several telephone conversations with the 00T before and after the trip to Mexico and the issuance of a Certificate of Competent Authority from D0T awaits approval of the amendment to the Certificate of Compliance No. 6144 from the NRC for DOE to complete the submittal request.

Additionally, the Department of State and DOE have contacted the Environmental Protec'!an Agency concerning the shipment and no objections were voiced on the snipment of the processing materials to be returned.

Further, Type B radioactive packagings previously approved, but not designated B(U) or B(M), may not be used for shipment to a location outside the U.S. after August 31, 1986, except under special arrangements approved by the D0T. Essentially, this means that after August 31, a packaging must be certified to the 1973 IAEA requirements for export shipments (the most current D0T/NRC regulations have the 1973 IAEA requirements incorporated).

/

e

3 Your early Certificate of Compliance 6144 will be appreciated.

I am sure you can understand the position we (the U.S.) are in and the urgent need to resolve the problems safely. Should there be a need for any questions or need for further information, please contact Mr. Charles Mauck on extension 353-5394.

Department of Transportation Washington, D.C. 20590

Dear Mr. Rawl:

Enclosed in Attachment A is a summary of our inventory which is currently stored in the Richer Warehouse in Laredo. Texas.

This inventory is part of our entire plant equipment and assets which are scheduled for delivery to Monterrey, Mexico for the purpose of re-establishing our business operations there.

Items 1-11 are calibration sources and should not require any repackaging.

They are currently stored within a safe and we propose to leave them within than safe and ship as is.

These items will be clearly marked as radioactive materials and will comply in all respects with the Department of Transportation " limited quantity" criteria.

Regarding items 12-14, Attachment B outlines a summary of our proposed plan for the removal of the lead containers from the main and auxiliary glove boxes.

These items will be placed within one gallon steel cans with friction lids securely closed with locking retainer clips.

These steel cans will in turn be placed into a 55 gallon drum with specification rating of 17C or 17H.

(The l

combined weight of these filled cans will not exceed 200 pounds.)

We propose that this drum be then placed into the B-2 container described in Attachment C.

Finally we propose that a smear be taken within the glove box to ascertain that the contamination level inside the glove box is within the bulk l

LSA limits.

We propose that items 15 and 16 be repackaged using relatively tight fitting, heat-sealed.12 mil thick PVC for double-bagging each of the 5 gallon containces containing the rhodium and gold-plating solutions described in At hment D.

Each of these enclosed 5-gallon containers will be isolated into

'i vidual 55 gallon drums (placing each plastic container at the center of the

, degTin);ne wiii be surrounded by at least a sufficient quantity or sbsorbant maWr-ial to absorb a minimum of twice the volume of the enclosediliquid, i

For items 17-32 we propose that these barrels be

ii Glin the B-2 container referred to in Attachment C.

Item 29 will be ut into a recovery drum because of the corrosion observed on the exterior of the 55-gallon barrel, with the space between the recovery drum and the barrel to be filled with absorbant material.

.c..

Other miscellaneous items such as holding tanks and filter housings not listed im Attachment A will be enclosed within a suitable bulk LSA container f r shipment. We are proceeding on the basis that 22,000,000 DPM/100cm2 removable contamination is the upper limit for bulk LSA.

Each individual glass container of approximately one gallon of concentrated nitric, muriatic, and sulphuric acids will be packaged in its own DOT 12 B double wall corrugated container.

Thank you for your attention.

%h'? compacts comprised of gold,There are 9 lead pigs in the two glove boxes con silver, and americium dioxide in a sealed 5

matrix form.

We propose to transfer these lead pigs into one gallon cans using the following steps:

a) remove as much wood over the windows as is necessary to see inside the glove boxes.

b) making sure that the inside air lock port is closed, introduce three inter-leaved plastic bags (with closures) into the air lock chamber and close the outside door, c) through one of the glove ports open the inside door of the air lock chamber, remove one bag, insert a lead pig, close the bag and tie it, take a second bag and enclose the first and tie it, and then place into the third bag while still in the air lock chamber. Tie the third bag and close the inside door of the air lock chamber.

d) cover the outside door of the air lock chamber with a fourth bag.

Through that bag open the outside door of the air lock chamber and draw the contents into the bag and place into a one gallon can. Seal the can and place it within a 55 gallon drum, e) repeat the procedure for each of the 9 lead pigs and the one gallon can containing recyclable slag within the glove boxes.
