1 11 Revision I
Reactor Vessel and intemals Removal Project - Transportation Safety Plan will not impose an unsafe stress on the structure of the package. Similarly, the package is designed su:h that failure of any tiedown attachment on the package under excessive load will also not impair the ability of the package to meet its safety requirements.
3.2.2 SURFACE CONTAMINATION AND EXTERNAL RADIATION The package will not have external, removable surface contamination above the limits in Table 6-1. The level of loose radioactive contamination on the external surface of the package will be ALARA. The package will be decontaminated and coated to fix any remaining loose contamination. Sufficient measurements will be taken to yield an appropriate assessment of loose surface contamination and radiation levels. Surface contamination and external radiation levels will not exceed the limits given in Table 6-1.
3.2.3 MARKING AND LABELING The exterior of the package will be stenciled, or otherwise conspicuously, durably, and.
legibly marked with the following information in letters at least 1/2 inch high:
Proper shipping name - Radioactive Material, n.o.s. UN2982 RQ Waste classification - Class C Stable Esbel - DOT Specification Radioactive Label l
Packaging type - [as Specified by NRC/ DOT]
Gross weight - 925,344 Kg (1020 tons) l l
Model number (assigned by the NRC)
Package ID number (assigned by the NRC)
The proper shipping name and waste classification will be within six inches of each other.
The marking will be in English, printed on, or affixed to, the surface of the package, displayed on a background of sharply contrasting color, unobscured by labels or attachments, and located away from any other marking.
' Prior to applying the model number, PGE will determine that the package was fabricated in accordance with the approved design.
3.2.4 QUALITY CONTROL Prior to shipment, PGE will verify the package was constructed in accordance with the design approved by the NRC. PGE will inspect the package to ensure it is properly marked and in unimpaired physical condition, except for superficial defects such as marks or dents. The examination will ascertain there are no defects that could significantly reduce the effectiveness of the package. PGE will determine the package has been manufactured, assembled, and marked in accordance with design and regulatory requirements; and approved written procedures and/or special instructions were used to fill, close, and prepare the package for shipment.
19 Revision 1
Reactor Vessel and internals Removal Project - Transportation Safety Plan 3.5.1 PA,CKAGE-TO-TRANSPORTER TIEDOWN DESIGN The package-to-transporter tiedown system is designed to support and brace the package such that it cannot change position during conditions normally incidental to transportation.
The package will rest on two shipping cradles made of stmetural steel. Each cradle will be bolted to its support frames. The support frames are secured to the transporter trailer bed by bolting through the attachment brackets bolted to the bottom of the support frames, and to the side plates on the transporter trailer. The package will be secured to the cradles with straps. The straps will be tensioned to eliminate slack and preclude loosening during use. The package will be restrained in the longitudinal direction with restraints that capture two of the eight RVP nozzles.
The package-to-transporter tiedown system is designed in accordance with the March 1993 draft of ANSI N14.2, " Proposed American National Standard Tiedowns for Truck
(.
Transport of Radioactive Materials." This standard is applicable to normal truck transport of radioactive materials, therefore, application of the criteria to the transponer, a special purpose vehicle, is conservative since the transit speed will be maintained at or below five miles per hour.
3.5.2 TRANSPORTER-TO-BARGE TIEDOWN DESIGN The transporter-to-barge tiedown system is designed to ensure the transporter / package l
assembly remains in place un the barge. Once the transporter is loaded onto the barge, the l
hydraulic system used to raise and lower the transporter will be depressurized to elirninnte relative movement due to the hydraulic system.
The barge was designed with two longitudinal watertight bulkheads. Four longitudinal bolsters welded to the barge, two port and two starboard, above these watertight bulkheads restrain movement of the transporter / package. The transponer will be positioned on the j
barge such that two cradle support beams rest on the longitudinal bolsters. This will distribute the loaded transporter waght to the barge structure through the bolsters. The bolsters are designed so that the cradle support beams nest is recessed areas on the top of the bolsters and horizontal loads, in both the longitudinal and transverse directions, are transferred directly into the barge via the bolster structure. Vertical loads, including those associated with a postulated capsize of the barge, are transferred into the bolsters with bolting.
The transporter-to-barge tiedown system was designed using guidance from ANSI N14.24-1985, "American National Standard for Highway Route Controlled Quantities of Radioactive Materials - Domestic Barge Transport," except that the transverse collision acceleration loading was increased from 0.5g to 1.6g based on the l
"Probabilistic Safety Study for the Transportation of the Reactor Vessel Package (RVP) by Barge on the Columbia River form the Trojan Site to the Port of Benton."
22 Revision I L
Reactor Vessel and internals Remowal Project - Transportation Safety Plan 3.5.3 QUALITY CONTROL AND TESTING
. PGE will verify the as built tiedown system complies with design and construction specifications. Welding and weld inspection will be performed using procedures and processes which meet or exceed standards defined in ANSUAWS DI.1, " Structural Welding Code - Steel."
3.6 TUGBOATS Two tugboats with raised pilot houses, provided by Foss, will be used to transport the barge up the river. One of the tugboats will serve as a back-up should the primary tugboet become i=-apacitated. The tugboats are of suitable size and horsepower such that each is capable of maneuvering the barge under normal and inclement weather and current conditions (refer to Sections 4.1.3 and 5.2.1). They will be fitted to hanntle the barge in'a standard pushing mode using substantial and well-fendered push knees and heavy connecting wires.
The tugboats will be equipped with' navigational aids including radar, magnetic compass with deviation table and marine charts for the portion of the river to be transited.
l Communications equipment for each tug will include two VHF radios, a single side band radio, and a cellular phone.
l The tugboats will be equipped with ring life buoys, personal flotation devices (USCG approved life preservers) for crew members and other persons on board the vessel, and Type B hand portable fire extinguishers. Lifesaving and firefighting equipment will be legibly marked and readily accessible. The tugs will have an industrial first aid kit.
Standard tools for temporary repairs will also be on board.
The tugboats' use is subject to the approval of, and inspection by, the Marine Surveyor who will also examine vessel and maintenance documents.
3.7 ESCORT VEHICI FR AND SUPPORT FACTI ITIFR The transporter / package assembly will be accompanied by overland escort vehicles as it is transported from the Trojan site to the US Ecology burial site. Foss will escort the shipment during river transit using a vehicle equipped with a VHF radio and a cellular phone. DynCorp will provide traffic control and escort the shipment from the Port of Benton to the US Ecology burial site on the Hanford Reservation.
Foss offices in Portland will be used as a communication center where communications will be maintained with the tugboats 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> a day.

3.8 BARGE LOADING AND OFFLOADING SITES j
The transporter / package assembly will be loaded onto the barge at the Trojan barge slip.
The barge slip is located on the Columbia River on PGE propeny about 1/4 mile south of i
the Trojan Industrial Area at River Mile 72.5. The barge slip was constmeted to receive I
the reactor pressure vessel, steam generators, and other large components delivered via barge as part of the construction of the Trojan Nuclear Plant. During the Large Component Removal Project four steam generators and the pressurizer were loaded at this barge slip. The slip is 59 feet wide with a 110 feet long pad dredged to a nominal elevation of-2.5 feet.
l The transponer/ package assembly will be offloaded from the barge at the Pon of Benton barge slip. The barge slip is located on the Columbia River in Benton County in an i
industrial park on the nonhern edge of the town of Richland, Washington. The existing, j
l barge slip was constructed in 1972. It is approximately 1/4 mile south of the Hanford Reservation site at River Mile 342.8. The slip is 60 feet x 150 feet with a gravel i
grounding pad at an elevation of 330 feet providing 10 feet of water at normal pool.
The barge slips are capable of accepting the loads imposed by the barge while moored and while loading or offloading the transporter / package assembly. The Trojan and Pon of Benton barge slips will be inspected. Silt, rock, and debris will be removed, as j
necessary, to permit safe access by the barge.
t 3.9 OVERLAND ROUTE I
The first and last segments of the transit route are over land, covering a total distance of approximately 30 miles. The transponer/ package assembly will be transponed by prime mover from the Industrial Area to the Trojan barge slip and from the Pon of Benton barge slip to the US Ecology burial site. The road from the Trojan Industrial Area to the barge slip is entirely on PGE property. The transit distance from the package preparation area to I
4 the Trojan barge slip is about 1/4 mile. The route from the Port of Benton barge slip to the US Ecology burial site is about 30 miles. The route is entirely on Port of Benton propeny or the Hanford Reservation except when crossing Horn Rapids Road, which is an l
unpaved public road between the Port of Benton and the Hanford Reservation. Figures 3-1 and 3-3 show the overland routes.
PGE will evaluate the overland route to ensure it is structurally capable of handling the load prior to the shipment.
l 3.10 WATER ROUTE The middle segment of the transit route is over water covering a distance of approximately 270 miles. The transporter / package assembly will be transponed by barge on the l
