REQ
- JEST FOR GUIDANCE CONCERNING USE OF NRC CERIIFIED CASKS Frequently, licensees ship 55-gallon dru=s containing LSA =aterial inside -
shielded casks. When this is done, the licensee =ay consider the dn:=s to be the packages and the cask as a shield to =eet the transport vehicle dose rate limits (10 =R/hr at 2 =eters and 2 =R/hr in cab).
IE Information Notice No. 80-32, Revision 1, ackdovledges this practice and finds it acceptable under specified circu= stances. However, a recent telephone conversation with :iMSS prc=pted this request for clarification concerning the acceptability of such action when the cask is an NRC certified package.
Is it acceptable for a licensee to use a NRC certified cask in the same
=anner as an uncer,ified cask, as described above, without regard to the certificate of ec=pliance requirements? !f such use is acceptable, =ust anything be done to clarify the intended use of the cask, such as ob-literating the cash identificatien? Obliteration of the cask identification was suggested by :E'SS (Cdegaarden).
