Packaging for uranium enriched in the U-235 isotope. The steel y containment vessel has a 6-1/2-inch ID and 15-1/2-inch deep cavity. ll Positive closure is provided by a breech lock closure or a flanged and il bolted arrangement. The closures are sealed by Neoprene 0-rings. The E!

} containment vessel is centered and supported by cane fiberboard within an 18-gauge 00T Specification 17H3 30-gallon drum. The cane fiberboard lg insulation has a minimum 14 lb/ft density. Plywood discs, 1/4-inch p thick are located at the ends of the container. The overall container pi size is 18-inches diameter by 30-inches high. The package gross weight R is 210 pounds. g'l (3) Drawings l 5:

Transportation Certification Branch Aaproval Record Model No. lT-14 Shipping Package Docket No. 71-9852 By application dated October 16, 1986, the Department of Energy requested renewal of Certificate of Compliance No. 9852. No changes have been requested or made to the package since approval of the original application dated August 2, 1978, as supplemented.

The staff concludes that the statements of the original application, as supplemented, satisfy the requirement for renewal of the certificate of compliance.

Due to the limitations on the fabrication of additional packagings, as stated in 10 CFR 971.13 Condition 11 regarding leak test requirements for new packages has been deleted and the balance of the original conditions renumbered accordingly.
