Quality Assurance Program for Shipment of Reactor Fuel, 10 CFR Part 71 QA Program 1.

Organization The final responsibility for the Quality Assurance (QA) Program for Part 71 Requirements rests with Memphis State University.

Design and fabrication shall not be conducted under this QA program.

This QA program is established to ensure compliance with 10 CFR 71 for the transportation of nine (9) fuel discs, sixteen (16) fuel cylinders, and one (1) core fuse (see attachment #1) from the Memphis State

[

University Center for Nuclear Studies to a secure facility as designated by ther U.S.

Department of Energy.

The fuel contains a total of 663.56 grams of U-235.

The fuel is currently possessed by Memphis State University under NRC license number R-127.

The progra-is of limited duration and is designed for the disposition of e-unneeded existing inventory of reactor fuel.

The QA program is N

implemented using the existing MSU administrative organization show

Organization The final responsibility for the Quality Assurance (QA)' Program for Part 71 Requirements rests with Memphis State University.

Design and' fabrication shall not be conducted under this.QA program.

This QA program is established to ensure compliance with 10 CFR 71 for the transportation of nine (9) fuel discs, sixteen (16) fuel cylinders, and one (1) core fuse (see attachment #1) from the Memphis State University Center for Nuclear Studies to a secure facility as designated by ther U.S.

The fuel contains a total of 663.56 grams of U-235.

The fuel is currently possessed by Hemphis State University under NRC license number R-127.

The program is of limited duration and is designed for the disposition of an unneeded existing inventory of reactor fuel.

The QA program is implemented using the existing MSU administrative organization shown in Figure 1.

Quality Assurance Program l

The Vice President for Advancement and Continuing Education

g c.

establishes and implements this QA program.

Training, prior to loading and shipping, for all QA functions is made according to written procedures with Radiation Safety Subcommittee approval.

The QA program will ensure ~that all defined quality control procedures, engineering procedures, and specific provisions of the package design approval are satisfied.

The QA program will emphasize control of the characteristi,cs of the. package which are critical to safety.

Accidental. criticality is not a safety problem because the total U-235 is 663.56 grams.

The MSU Radiation Safety Office shall assure that-the radioactive material shipping package is designed and manufactured to

. meet the existing transportation regulations.

This requirement will be satisfied by using a DOT approved 6J shipping container.

- 3.

Document Control Documents related to specific packages and shipments are to be retained by the HSU Radiation Safety Office.

This shall include radiation surveys, cargo manifests, notes concerning labeling and sealing, Form 741, and all other information related to the control and accountability of the radioactive materials.

Documents and notes relating to security provisions will be retained by the Radiation Safety Office as well, i

- 4.

Handling and Loading 4

l The radioactive material is composed of 663.56 grams of enriched uranium suspended homogeniously in polyethylene except for the core f

fuse which is suspended in polystyrene.

Inspection

~

. Prior to shipping, each container will be inspected to ensure all closures and seals are in place.

Each drum will be swipe tested-to ensure there is no external contamination.' Finally, each drum i

will be surveyed to verify radiation levels are condisten't with s

requirements of 10 CFR 173.417.
