COMPLIANCE DEMONSTRATION 'IO NEW 10 CPR 71 REQUIREMENTS

Reference:

Certificate of Compliance USA /9019/AF On August 5, 1983, the NRC published a revision notice in the Federal Register, Volume 48, No. 152.

The purpose of the revision was intended to make NRC transportation regulations 10 CPR 71 compatible with those of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

On 8/31/85 the revised regulations were issued in 10 CFR 71.

During telephone conversations with your office earlier this year, we discussed NFMD's need to have the BU-7 shipping package certified to " Safety Series No. 6, IAEA Safety Standards, Regulations for the Safe Transport of Radioactive Materials, 1973 Revised Edition (An Amended)."

At that time, we were informed that in order to obtain approval for the BU-7 as a Type A, Fissile Class I package, we should submit an application to the NRC which demonstrates that ouE package conforms with the new requirementr of 10 CFR 71.

Also, an(appl identifies how the BU-7 complies w[dation is required to DOT that ith the differences between 10 CFR 71 and the 1973 IAEA Standatds, j;;

GENERAL $ ELECTRIC Mr. Charles E. MacDonald January 6, 1986 Page 2 General Electric's Nuclear Fue'l Manufacturing Department (NFMD) has prepared the attached consolidated application that we believe demonstrates the BU-7 shipping package meets or exceeds all requirements of the revised 10 CFR 71 as they apply to its use in the referenced Certificate of Compliance.

This application replaces Sections 1.0 through 6.0 in their entirety and consequently is identified as Revision 0.

Sections IA, 1B, and 1C are included in this submit been changed from the existing,tal_ for your convenience, but have not approved cpnsolidated application.

A separate submittal will be made to thea Department of Transportation describing how"th^e"BU 7" package conforms with the differences between 10 CFR.71.and the.1973"IAEA requirements.

Pursuant to 10 CFR 170.31, a check' for $150 will be forwarded under a separate cover.

General Electric personnel would be pleased'to discuss this matter with you and your staff as you.may: deem nec,essary.

Sincerely, GENERAL ELECTRICiCOMPANY
