'+A, l OCT 191982 MEMORANDUM FOR:
L. R. Greger, Chief Facilities Radiation Protection Section, R.III FROM:
Leo B. Higginbotham, Chief Fuel Facilities and Materials Branch, IE -
SUBJECT:
REQUEST FOR GUIDANCE CONCERNING USE OF NRC CERTIFIED CASKS This replies to your October 6,1982 memo, same subject.
We see no objection to the use of an NRC certified cask as an outer enclosure for inside packages, effectively simulating a " closed transport vehicle", as is illustrated in Appendix B, IE Information Notice 80-32, Rev. 1 (Left side scenario), copy attached.
In such a case however, we firmly agree with NMSS that it would be appropriate to obliterate or cover over the NRC Certificate indentification marking on the cask exterior, and refrain from any reference to the certificate on shipping papers.
Il Leo B. Higg n otham, Chief Fuel Facilities and Materials Branch, IE.
