10CFR21 Final Report on Potentially Defective Model DOT-21PF-1B Overpack Components
Dear Mr. Chappell:
Eco-Pak Specialty Packaging hereby submits the attached report and laboratory test results and the following answers to your February 2,1999 query to close out this 10CFR21 report.
To summarize, we sent two shackles (certifications attached) to be tested by Law Engineering
)
Industrial Services in Charlotte, North Carolina. One shackle was a "1995 Kulkoni" shackle supplied by Lockheed Martin Utility Services, which was traced back via quality assurance records to the same batch of shackles from which the BNFL shackle originated. The other 4
shackle was a "1998 Parallax" shackle in our current inventory. Both shackles proved to be 300 series stainless steel and passed the required proofload of 4,475 pounds and break load of 22,375 pounds.
s There were no other packaging components procured from Kulkoni for either the DOT-21PF-1B of NCl-21PF-1 overpacks. After sending out the December i1,1999 customer letter and the l
December 18,199910CFR21 Interim Report, we have not been notified of any other instances
{
of defective shackles, and we have not discovered any instances of erroneous material certification.
Therefore, we believe that the defective BNFL shackle is an isolated incident. Of course, we have suggested that the users continue to monitor the shackles on their overpacks for potential indications of unusual senice.
With regard to the U-bolts utilized on the Model NCI-21PF. overpack, we do not believe that there is any problem, as the U-bolts were fabricated from stock material at Consolidated Specialty Manufacturbg Corporation in llouston, Texas, and they conducted mechanical testing on the U-bolts and sent mill test reports prior to shipping the order.

Dear Ms. Little:
As requested and authorized by your Purchase Order Number 5759, Law Engineering Industrial Services (LEIS) has completed mechanical and chemical testing of two shackles submitted to our laboratory. The shackles were identified as "1998 Parallax" and "1995 Kulkoni" 3/4-inch T-316 Stainless Steel Forged Screw Pin Anchor Shackles manufactured in accordance with RR-C-271D I
Type IVA Class 2, Grade A.
Both'shacOs Nere subjected to proof load and breaking load tests in general accordance with ASTM F-606 and client instructions. Both shackles passed a proof load of 4475 pounds and a 1
breaking load of 22,375 pounds.
The pin and bow of each shackle were also chemically analyzed. The results indicate that the samples tested will meet the chemical composition requirements of a Type 316 Austenitic Stainless Steel Material.
LEIS appreciates the opportunity to provide our services to Eco-Pak Specialty Packaging. If you have any questions or if we an be of further assistance, please do not hesitate to call.
