I (2) Description llI i l l I Steel encased lead shielded casks for low specific activity material.
The casks are right circular cylinders with a 61.0-inch ID by 62.0- l l inch IH cavi ty. The walls of the casks contain a lead thickness g g
l l
Ig;, ranging from 2.43 to 3.56 inches encased in 0.50-inch thick inner !R ll steel shell and 1.13-inch thick outer steel shell. The top cover and lN I cask botton are made up of two steel plates ranging in thickness from jh
!; 2.0 to 3.0 inches. The primary cask lid is secured to the cylindrical U I!
cask body by eight,1-1/4-inch rachet binders. An optional secondary l
lid is centered in the primary lid and is secured to the primary lid with eight, 3/4-inch studs and nuts. Each lid is provided with a
!)i
!g E
l Neoprene gasket seal . The casks may be provided with an optional 12 !b gauge stainless steel liner (seal welded along all edges), an optional @
lid vent line with pipe plug, and an optional 3/4-inch drain line and pipe plug. The casks are provided with four equally spaced lifting / tie-down devices. The primary lid is provided with three lifting lugs and f b
the optional secondary lid is provided with one lifting lug. The !I casks gross weights range from 42,900 to 53,900 pounds. li b

the following criteria are met over a period of time that is twice the expected shipment time: [(
ti (i) The hydrogen generated must be limited to a nolar cuantity that would Ei i be no more than 5% by volume (or equivalent limits for other inflam- [J nable gases) of the secondary contaiger gas void if present at STP .Ed (i.e. , no more than 0.063 g-moles /ft at 14.7 psia and 70*F); or ljt (ii) The secondary container and cask cavity must be inerted with a diluent ;r to assure that oxygen must be limited to 5% by volume in those portions ;T
> of the package which could have hydrogen greater than 5%. E i ,l i
For any package delivered to a carrier for transport, the secondary container f
.nust be prepared for shipment in the same manner in which detemination for !t gas generation is made. Shipment period begins when the package is prepared [
(sealed) and nust be conpleted within twice the expected shipment time. 't
- L (b) For any package shipped within 10 days of preparation, or within 10 days after venting of drums or other secondary containers, the detemination in j
p l (a) above need not be nade, and the time restriction in (a) above does not i a pply. lt

By application dated January 27, 1986, Nuclear Packaging, Inc. (NUPAC) requested changes to their referenced package designs to reflect field experience. The ratchet binder torque is increased from 50 ft-lbs to 100+10 ft-lbs and the primary lid gasket thickness may be 0.38 through 0.5F-inch thickness. It was stated that these changes will result in a more reliable seal. The above certificates have been revised to require the higher torque value and pemit the range in gasket thickness.
The above changes will not effect the ability of the casks to meet the requirements of 10 CFR Part 71.

By application dated December 14, 1984, as supplemented on May 14 and November 22, 1985, NUS Process Services (orporation (NUS) requested ameninents to the above certificates. The changes involve component and material changes and redesignation of the cask model numbers for packages constructed to the drawings provided by NUS. Each cask must meet the Acceptance Tests and Maintenance Program of Section 8.0 of the Nuclear Packaging, Inc. application. In addition, revised Operating, Maintenance, G6mma Scanning, and Leak Testing Procedures applicable to the NUS packages were provided and may be used as applicable and in lieu of pertinent pc -ts of Section 8.0 of the Nuclear Packaging. Inc. application. As a re: alt of operating experience with similar packages, the ratchet binders on the cask lid must be torqued to 100_+10 ft-lbs.
The above changes will not effect the ability of the casks to meet the reouirements of 10 CFR Part 71.
