Dear Mr. Plooster:

l Attached you will find a pre-print copy of the long-anticipated Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) report. "Shipping Container Response to Severe Highway and Railway Accident Conditions." NUREG/CR-4829. Also attached are LLNL's responses to the peer review coments--a response which we discussed back in November.

1 have reviewed this final report and believe it is a significant improverrent l!

from the "review" version.

Your coments and detailed suggestions were I

instrumental to this upgrade.

You'll note that LLNL was able to reorganize the sections--the probability analysis precedes the screening analysis sections and the section relating potential radiological hazards to damage now follows the j

screening analysis.

The subject--especially the approach taken to reach NRC's objective--is complex and, although I am sure further improvements could be made. I am now comfortable with this report, With regard to schedule slippages. LLNL is not alone. The NRC authored sumary i

l brochure has been delayed in our publications organization because of higher j

priority Comission work.

I had planned to send you the brochure with the LLNL report so that you could view the research program's results in their entirety.

j Instead. I will have to followup this tratismittal with the brochure, hopefully, by the end of this month, Your review of this final LLNL report will conclude your peer review efforts.

t If warranted, a short letter sumarizing your views on both the report and the

[

responses to the peer-review coments would be appreciated.

Certainly. I would appreciate being made aware of any criticism you may have on this final report.
