(a) Packaging l N l (1) Model No.: S5W Refueling Source E l l 1 (2) Description l)

The 55h Refueling Source shipping container consists of two structures, I ene nested within the other, having an overall envelope of 5 feet, W 5 inches diameter by 9 feet, 5-5/8 inches length. The outer structure, I the shipping container, is a ring of ' polyethylene 11-1/2 inches thick I with an OD of 5 feet 4 inches and length of approximately 5 feet 2 l(

inches. The polyethylene is canned in a 1/2-inch thick carbon steel y shell. The inner structure, the replacement and installation container, y fits into the cavity of the outer structure. This assembly consists N j

of a 6-1/2 inch OD, 79-5/8 inches long stainless central tube, which R i

is plugged at both ends by machined stainless steel forgings. Three N cavities are machined in the bottom end plug to contain the neutron source assemblies. A jacket of lead, 6 inches thick, encircles the h,

h central tube and this innermost layer of shielding is to attenuate the i gamma radiation. A wall of polyethylene, 8-1/2 inches thick, surrounds i the lead shield and is canned with a 1/2-inch thick carbon steel i plate. Gross weight is approximately 19,000 pounds.

l (3) Drawings l l

The packaging is constructed in accordance with Westinghouse Electric I Corrcratici. Drawing Nos. 905D318, Rev. C; 905D315, Pev. F and 905D285, 1-Rev. A. I b
