INC OP-RMSC Safety Analysis Report Docket No. 71-9387 Revision 0, 12/2020 1.0 GENERAL INFORMATION This chapter ofthe Outer Package, Raw Material Shipping Container (hereto referred to as the OP-RMSC) Safety Analysis Report presents a general introduction and description of the OP RMSC package. A detailed description of the major packaging and payload components is presented in the following sections. Detailed drawings are presented in Appendix 1.3.1, General Arrangement Drawings.

1.1 Introduction The OP-RMSC package is a transportation package designed to transport the Raw Material Shipping Container (RMSC) raw material special form capsules containing either cobalt-60 (Co-60), iridium-I 92 (Ir-I 92), or selenium-75 (Se-75) radioactive material. The RMSC will carry up to four (4) special forma capsules that contain the radioactive material. The design is optimized to provide maximum safety during both operations and transport conditions. Both the OP-RMSC and the RMSC consist of a welded cylindrical shell with bolted closure lids. Since the OP-RMSC package does not possess the primary gamma shielding, only the RMSC payload, which utilizes tungsten gamma shields, is relied upon for performing the shielding safety function. Therefore, no shielding credit is assigned to the OP-RMSC package itself.

Authorization is sought for shipment of raw material special form source capsules containing Co-60, Ir-I 92, or Se-75 isotopes as a T7pe B(U)-96, special form material package per the definitions delineated in t O CFR §71.4 . The transport index (TI) for the package, determined in accordance with the definition of IO CFR §71.4, is determined for each shipment. The TI is based on the radiation dose rate at I meter (3.3 feet) from the external surface of the package (method for the transport index is defined in Chapter 7 .0, Package Operations).

1.2 Package Description 1.2.1 Packaging The OP-RMSC is a Type B(U)-96 package designed for transportation of only special form radioactive materials, which are contained in the RMSC payload. The maximum gross weight of the package is 650 pounds, and its primary components of construction are identified in Figure 1.2-1 and Figure 1.2-2. The radioactive payloads in the RMSC are raw material special form capsules, and are described in Section 1.2.2, Contents ofPackaging. Primary shielding is provided by tungsten shields in the RMSC payload, which is illustrated in Figure 1.2-3. The tungsten shields are machined solid form castings, and are illustrated in Figure 1.2-4. Detailed drawings of the OP-RMSC packaging are provided in Appendix 1.3.1, General Arrangement Drawings.

1.2.2 Contents of Packaging The OP-RMSC is designed to transport the RMSC payload. The RMSC is designed to carry up to four (4) raw material special form capsules, each containing a maximum of4,000 Ci (173 TBq) of lr-192, or 4,000 Ci (173 TBq) ofSe-75. The maximum radioactive content ofCo-60 per shipment 1 Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 71 ( 10 CFR 71 ), Packaging and Transportation of Radioactive Material, 1-1-20 Edition.

INC OP-RMSC Safety Analysis Report Docket No. 71-9387 Revision 0, 12/2020 is limited to 2 Ci (0.07 TBq). For the total four raw material special form capsules, the maximum radioactive content for the OP-RMSC package is 16,000 Ci (592 TBq).

The maximum decay heat for the OP-RMSC package is I 00 W (341 Btu/hr).

1.2.3 Special Requirements for Plutonium This section does not apply, since plutonium is not transported in the OP-RMSC package.

1.2.4 Operational Features There are no operationally complex features of the OP-RMSC package. The radioactive material contents (described in Section l .2.2, Contents ofPackaging) are confined in special fonn capsules that are within the RMSC cavity, which is surrounded by tungsten gamma shields. The gamma shields are contained in a welded pipe with a bolted closure lid, as shown in Figure 1.2-4.

The RMSC payload is then placed in the OP-RMSC payload cavity and a separate inner closure lid is installed and secured utilizing eight (8) I /2-13 UNC hex bolts, as shown in Figure 1.2-2. A vented outer closure lid is then secured to the OP-RM SC body by eight (8) I /2-13 UNC hex bolts. The OP-RMSC package outer closure lid is fitted with a 3/8- I 6 UNC threaded hole to attach a standard lifting device to facilitate handling. Sequential steps of operation are provided in Chapter 7.0, Package Operations.

  • 2.1 Description of Structural Design The primary evaluation of the OP-RMSC package is performed with various full-scale tests. The results of the tests are provided in the following sections. Analyses of non-tested structural aspects are also provided.

The OP-RMSC package consists of four major fabricated components: I) a welded, outer stainless steel pipe assembly that is welded to an inner stainless steel pipe, which forms the payload cavity,

2) a bolted vented closure lid that is secured to the outer pipe, 3) a bolted inner closure lid that covers the payload cavity, and 4) polyurethane foam between the inner and outer pipes.

The RMSC payload consists of three major fabricated components: I) a welded stainless steel pipe assembly that is welded to a smaller pipe assembly, which forms the payload cavity, 2) a tungsten shield that covers and shields the payload cavity, 3) a bolted closure lid that covers the cavity tungsten shield, and 4) a fixed tungsten shield between the outer pipe and inner pipe assemblies.

2.1.1 Discussion The OP-RMSC is a welded and bolted assembly that consists of an outer 0 \ 8-inch x 223/4 inch high, Schedule IOS stainless steel pipe and an inner 010-inch x 121/4 inch high, Schedule IOS stainless steel pipe. The inner pipe forms the payload cavity. The annular space between the inner and outer pipes is filled with approximately 32 pounds of rigid polyurethane foam that provides limited impact protection of the payload, which is a RMSC. A 3/8-inch thick, 133/4 inch diameter stainless steel plate, which is secured with eight (8) 1/2-inch hex bolts, encloses the payload cavity. Above the inner lid, a 3/4-inch thick, 171/2 inch diameter stainless steel closure lid is secured to the outer 18-inch diameter stainless steel pipe body with eight (8) I/2-13 UNC hex bolts. The outer lid is slotted to dissipate decay heat from the payload cavity via convective heat transfer. Within the payload cavity, there are four (4) 3/8-inch thick stainless steel vertical bars welded to the inner cavity wall. The bars are circumferentially located at 90-degrees to minimize the clearance between the RMSC payload and the cavity wall. The maximum tare and gross weight of the OP-RMSC package is 270 pounds (122 kg) and 650 pounds (295 kg),

respectively, and is illustrated in Figure 2.1-1 and Figure 2.-2.

The RMSC is designed to transport up to 2 Ci (0.07 TBq) ofCo-60, or 16,000 Ci (592 TBq) of lr-192, or Se-75 isotopes in raw material special form capsules. The RMSC payload consists of a welded outer 8-inch diameter Schedule IOS stainless steel pipe that surrounds a tungsten shield that contains a I1/2 inch diameter x 3 inch high payload cavity. Above the payload cavity is a 4.2-inch diameter x 3.6 inch high tungsten gamma shield that is placed over the cavity. The closure lid is 2

TUNGSTEN SHIELDING Figure 2.3 Sectional View of the RMSC Payload 2.1.2 Design Criteria 2.1.2.1 Basic Design Criteria The OP-RMSC package is primarily demonstrated to satisfy the requirements of 10 CFR 71 via full-scale tests. For evaluation of a lifting attachment, the design criteria is that the structural lifting features do not exceed the material's yield strength when subjected to the requirements of 10 CFR §71.45(a).

2.1.2.2 Miscellaneous Structural Failure Modes 2.1.2.2.1 Brittle Fracture The structural materials of the OP-RMSC packaging include stainless steel and tungsten. Each material is not susceptible to brittle fracture at temperatures as low as -20 °F (-29 °C) as described below.

The OP-RMSC packaging and the RMSC payload are fabricated from austenitic stainless steel pipe, plate, and bar. This material does not undergo a ductile-to-brittle transition in the temperature range of interest [i.e., down to -40 °F (-40 °C)], and thus does not require evaluation for brittle fracture.

16

INC OP-RMSC Safety Analysis Report Docket No. 71-9387 Revision 0, 12/2020 The tungsten shield material, which is enclosed by the welded stainless steel pipe assembly, was free drop and puncture tested at temperatures less than-20 °F (-29 °C). As documented in the certification test report', the tungsten gamma shields in the RMSC payload passed all the drop tests, which included cumulative damage effects, with no loss of shielding or confinement capability. Based on the low temperature testing of the OP-RMSC package, brittle fracture of the tungsten gamma shields in the RMSC payload is not a concern.

The closure lid bolts are hex bolts fabricated from ASTM A320, Grade L43 or L 7 materials.

These materials are specifically intended for low-temperature service applications. The Charpy impact tests for this material are recommended to be perform at -150 °F (-10 l 0C)4 for these material grades. Therefore, brittle fracture of the closure lid bolts is not a concern.

2.1.2.2.2 Fatigue Because the OP-RMSC package is an essentially a rigid body, no structural failures of the confinement boundary due to fatigue will occur.

2.1.2.2.3 Buckling The OP-RMSC package provides only a confinement boundary. For normal condition and hypothetical accident conditions, the RMSC confinement boundary (i.e., the tungsten gamma shields) will not buckle due to free or puncture drops. This conclusion has been demonstrated via full-scale tests of the OP-RMSC package.

2.1.3 Weights and Center of Gravity The maximum gross weight of the OP-RMSC package is 650 pounds (295 kg). The center of gravity of the assembled package is along the vertical centerline axis, approximately 13.4 inches above the bottom of the package. Because the overall mass is dominated by the tungsten gamma shields, the package center of gravity is near the center of gravity for the RMSC payload.

2.1.4 Identification of Codes and Standards for Package Design Since the package contains limited quantities of radioactive material, and does not contain a pressure boundary, the OP-RMSC package is only designed to industrial metal fabrication standards.

2.2 Materials 2.2.1 Material Properties and Specifications Mechanical properties for the materials utilized for the structural components of the OP-RM SC package are provided in this section. Temperature-dependent material properties for the austenitic stainless steel structural components are obtained from Section TI, Part D, of the 3 Ora110 Federal Services LLC, Document TR-3023626-000, Certification Test Reportfor the OP-RMSC Package, Revision 0, August 17, 2020.

Since the evaluation of the OP-RMSC package is primarily via full-scale tests, only the material properties that are used in the analysis portion of the evaluation are given. Table 2.2-1 presents the properties of the structural materials for Type 304 stainless steel utilized in the package.

The tungsten gamma shields that are utilized in the RMSC payload are a tungsten heavy alloy, which is 93%- 97% tungsten alloyed with nickel (Ni) and iron (Fe). The addition of the nickel and iron improves the machinability compared to pure tungsten. Typical room temperature properties are provided in Table 2.2-2. Since the tungsten gamma shields are not a primary structural material for the RMSC payload, these typical properties are provided for information only.

INC OP-RMSC Safety Analysis Report Docket No. 71-9387 Revision O, 12/2020 2.2.2 Chemical, Galvanic, or Other Reactions The RMSC payload that fully surrounds the tungsten gamma shields is fabricated from Type 304 stainless steel. Since tungsten and Type 304 stainless steel materials are very near each other on the galvanic corrosion chart, and with no electrolyte present, there will not be a significant galvanic reaction between these two materials. Additionally, the stainless steel of the OP-RMSC package does not have significant reactions with the interfacing components, air, or water.

2.2.3 Effects of Radiation on Materials The gamma radiation associated with the radioactive material will have no effect on the austenitic stainless steel or the tungsten shields comprising the structural and shielding materials of the OP-RMSC package. As discussed in Section 2. I. I, Discussion, the polyurethane foam provides only limited impact protection of the RMSC payload. The effect of the radiation on the polyurethane foam to provide this minimal protection is negligible.

2.3 Fabrication and Examination 2.3.1 Fabrication Both the OP-RMSC package and RMSC payload are fabricated utilizing conventional metal forming and joining techniques. Materials are procured in accordance with the standards delineated on the drawings in Appendix 1.3.1, General Arrangement Drawings. All welding procedures and welding personnel are 1ualified in accordance with Section IX of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel (B&PV) Code 2.3.2 Examination The primary safety function of the OP-RMSC package is to provide protection of the RMSC payload that contains the gamma shielding for the special form radioactive material. To verify this function, each tungsten gamma shield is examined by performing a shielding test, as delineated in Section 8.1.6, Shielding Tests, prior to being utilized in the fabrication of a RMSC payload. In addition, all specified welds are visually inspected in accordance with the notes identified in Appendix 1.3. l, General Arrangement Drawings.

2.4 General Requirements for All Packages The OP-RMSC package is evaluated, with respect to the general standards for all packaging specified in l O CFR §71.432

  • Results of the evaluations are discussed in the following sections.

2.4.1 Minimum Package Size The smallest overall dimension of the OP-RMSC package is the 18 inch diameter of the body.

This dimension is greater than the minimum dimension of 4 inches (10 cm) specified in IO CFR

§71.43(a). Therefore, the requirements of IO CFR §71.43(a) are satisfied.

INC OP-RMSC Safety Analysis Report Docket No. 71-9387 Revision 0, 12/2020 2.4.2 Tamper Indicating Device A tamper indicating seal (wire/lead security seal) is attached to a pair of the closure lid bolts (refer to Figure 2.1-1 ), which provide visual evidence that the closure lid was not tampered during transportation. Therefore, the requirements of IO CFR §71.43(b) are satisfied.

2.4.3 Positive Closure The OP-RMSC package cannot be opened inadvertently. Positive closure of the OP-RMSC package is provided by the bolted closure lid. Therefore, the requirements of IO CFR §71.43(c) are satisfied.

2.4.4 Valves Because the OP-RMSC package is a confinement system and designed to transport only special form radioactive materials, there are no valves or other pressure retaining devices on the package. Therefore, the requirements of IO CFR §71.43(e) are satisfied.

2.4.5 Package Design As shown in Section 2.6, Normal Conditions of Transport, 3.3, Thermal Evaluation Under Normal Conditions of Transport, and 5.4, Shielding Evaluation, the OP-RMSC package design satisfies the requirements of 10 CFR §71.71. Therefore, the requirements of 10 CFR §71.43(t) are satisfied.

2.4.6 External Temperatures The maximum decay heat load of the special form capsules is l00 watts (341 Btu/hr) for the maximum radioactive content of 16,000 Ci (592 TBq). With this decay heat, the maximum accessible surface temperature of the package in still air and shade is 265 °F (129 °C), which exceeds the temperature limit of 122 °F (50 °C) for a nonexclusive use shipment. With this high surface temperature, an expanded metal personnel barrier is installed over the OP-RMSC package after it is secured to its shipping pallet. The maximum temperature of the accessible surface of the personnel barrier is 115 °F (46 °C). Therefore, the requirements of IO CFR

§7l .43(g) are satisfied by the OP-RMSC package with the personnel barrier.

2.4.7 Venting With special form source capsules encapsulating the radioactive material, the OP-RMSC package does not incorporate any feature that would permit continuous venting during transport.

Therefore, the requirements of 10 CFR §71.43(h) are satisfied by the OP-RMSC package.

2.5 Lifting and Tie-down Devices for All Packages 2.5.1 Lifting Devices The OP-RMSC package is lifted by attaching a standard lift ring or other standard lifting component to the 3/8-16 UNC-28 threaded hole in the center of the 3/4-inch thick closure lid (refer to Figure 2.1-1). For the maximum gross package weight of 650 pounds (295 kg}, the threaded hole will support the total weight. For added conservatism, a weight of700 pounds will be applied to the threaded hole as a tensile load, which results in shear stresses in the internal threads.

20

INC OP-RMSC Safety Analysis Report Docket No. 71-9387 Revision 0, 12/2020 The closure lid is a 3/4-inch thick, Type 304 steel plate. A 3/8-16 UNC-2 B internal thread has a shear area of 0 .8280 in2/in. Conservatively assuming only half the lid thickness for the thread engagement, the developed shear stress in the internal threads will be:

700 T31 16 = = 2 254 psi s- ( l /2)(3/4)(0.8280)

From Chapter 3.0, Thermal Evaluation, the maximum package surface temperature on the closure lid is 308 °F (153 °C). For this evaluation, a conservative temperature of 400 °F will be utilized. At this temperature, the minimum tensile yield strength for Type 304 stainless steel is 20,700 psi (from Table 2.3-1 ). The shear allowable is taken as 0 .6 of the tensile yield strength at temperature, or 0.6 (20,700) = 12,420 psi. Therefore, the minimum factor of safety (F.S.) for lifting is:

12 420 =

F.S. = * +5.51 >3.0 2,254 Additionally, any possible failure of a 3/8 threaded fastener for a lifting component will not impair the ability of the OP-RMSC package to perform its shielding and confinement functions since those safety functions are provided by the RMSC payload. Therefore, the requirements of 10 CFR §71 .45(a) are satisfied.

2.5.2 Tie-Down Devices The OP-RMSC package is secured to a pallet for transport by straps, cargo net, or other standard tie-down equipment that does not attach to the package. The 3/8-16 UNC threaded hole in the closure lid that is utilized for lifting is disabled during transport. Since the design does not contain any tie-down devices that are a structural part of the package, the requirements of 10 CFR §71. 4 5(b) are not applicable to the OP-RMSC package.

2.6 Nonnal Conditions of Transport 2.6.1 Heat The maximum steady state temperature of any component in an ambient environment of I 00 °P (38 °C) and full insolation for the OP-RMSC package is 752 °F (400 °C), which occurs in the stainless steel special form capsules. During the certification drop testing, the OP-RMSC package was exposed to a temperature greater than of 160 °P (71 °C) for several hours in an environmental chamber. There was no loss in operational capability or damage to the test units from the free and puncture drop tests performed at the hot test temperature. For the predicted higher temperatures with the I 00 W (341 Btu/hr) decay heat load, there would also be no loss in operational capability or damage to the package.

2.6.2 Cold For NCT cold condition, a -40 °P (-40 °C) steady state ambient condition is utilized per 10 CFR

§7l .7l(c)(2), without insulation and any decay heat. This results in a uniform temperature of

-40 °P (-40 °C) throughout the package. The OP-RMSC package was exposed to temperatures less than -22 °P (-30 °C) for several hours in an environmental chamber without negative effects.

21

INC OP-RMSC Safety Analysis Report Docket No. 71-9387 Revision 0, 12/2020 2.6.3 Reduced External Pressure The OP-RMSC package is a confinement boundary for a special form payload and does not have a pressure boundary. Therefore, the effect of reduced external pressure per 10 CFR §71. 71 (c)(3) is not applicable.

2.6.4 Increased External Pressure The OP-RMSC package is a confinement boundary for special form payload and does not have a pressure boundary. Therefore, the effect of increased external pressure per 10 CFR §71.7l(c)(4) is not applicable.

2.6.5 Vibration The OP-RMSC package is a welded stainless steel package that surrounds the RMSC payload, which contains the gamma shields. The only components of the package that are bolted and removable are the outer and inner closure lids. The closure lids are secured to the body by eight (8) I /2-13 UNC hex head bolts that are tightened to a minimum of 75 lbrft torque, and fitted with a tamper indicating seal. The closure lid for the RMSC payload is secured by six (6) 3/8-16 UNC hex head cap screws that are tightened to a minimum of 35 lbrft torque. As evidence by the certification drop testing, the package is essentially rigid, and hence, has a very high natural frequency. Based on the certification testing, the OP-RMSC package will not experience any damage or detrimental effects due to vibration normally incident to normal conditions of transport identified in JO CFR §71.7l(c)(5).

2.6.6 Water Spray The stainless steel materials of construction utilized for the OP-RMSC package are such that the water spray test identified in 10 CFR § 71. 71(c)(6) will have a negligible effect on the package.

2.6.7 Free Drop Since the gross weight of the OP-RMSC package is less than 11,000 pounds (5,000 kg), a 4-foot (1.2 meter) free drop is required per IO CFR §71.71.(c)(7). As discussed in Appendix 2.12.1, Certification Tests, a NCT, 4-foot (1.2-meter) free drop with impact on the package closure lid was performed on a OP-RMSC certification test unit (CTIJ-1) as an initial condition for the subsequent hypothetical accident condition (HAC) tests. As noted in the appendix, there was no significant visible deformation to the OP-RMSC test unit. A radiation survey following all certification testing demonstrated the ability of the OP-RM SC packaging to maintain the shielding and confinement integrity of the RMSC payload. Therefore, the requirements of10 CFR §71.71 (c)(7) are satisfied.

2.6.8 Corner Drop This test does not apply, since the materials of construction do not include wood or fiberboard, as delineated in 10 CFR §7l.7l(c)(8).

2.6.9 Compression A 3,390-pound (1,538 kg) force, which is greater than five times the gross package weight, was applied to the OP-RMSC package while sitting in its normal upright position for a period of24 22

INC OP-RMSC Safety Analysis Report Docket No. 71-9387 Revision 0, 12/2020 hours (refer to Figure 2.6-4). No observable deformation and damage was detected. Therefore, the requirements of JO CFR §71.71 (c)(9) are satisfied.

Figure 2.6 View of OP-RMSC Package Compression Test After 24 Hours 2.6.1 O Penetration Per IO CFR §71.71(c)(IO), a I1/4 inch (3.2 cm) diameter, 13 pound (6 kg), hemispherical end steel rod is required to be dropped from a height of 40 inches (I meter) onto the exposed surface of a package that is expected to be most vulnerable to puncture. The OP-RMSC package was puncture tested more severely in accordance with the hypothetical accident conditions (HAC) per

§71.73(c)(3), which requires the heavier package to be dropped 40 inches (I meter) onto a 6-inch (15 cm) diameter bar in the most vulnerable orientation. As noted in Appendix 2.12.1, Certification Tests, there was no visible significant damage from any of the puncture drops.

Therefore, the requirements of IO CFR §71.71(c)(IO) are satisfied by the HAC puncture drop tests.

2.7 Hypothetical Accident Conditions When subjected to the hypothetical accident conditions as specified in IO CFR §71.73, the OP-RM SC package meets the performance requirements specified in Subpart E of IO CFR 71.

This conclusion is demonstrated in the following subsections, where each accident condition is addressed and the package is demonstrated to meet the applicable design criteria. The method of demonstration is primarily by test. The tests specified in IO CFR §71.73 are applied sequentially, per Regulatory Guide 7.8.

23

INC OP-RMSC Safety Analysis Report Docket No. 71-9387 Revision 0, 12/2020 Test results are summarized in Section 2.7.7, Summary ofDamage, with details provided in Appendix 2.12.1, Certification Tests.

2.7.1 Free Drop Subpart F of IO CFR 71 requires performing a free drop test in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR §71.73(c)(1). The free drop test involves performing a 30 foot (9 meter) free drop onto a flat, essentially unyielding, horizontal surface, with the package striking the surface in an orientation for which the maximum damage is expected. For the OP-RMSC, the free drop is addressed by test, in which several orientations are utilized. The free drop precedes both the puncture and thermal tests.

2.7.1.1 Technical Basis for the Free Drop Tests The drop orientations selected for testing are intended to maximize the damage to the OP-RMSC package and cause a potential separation of the RMSC payload from the inner cavity. Once it separates from the OP-RMSC package, potential damage to the RMSC payload may occur from the subsequent puncture drop event, which could affect the tungsten gamma shielding. Should this condition occur, regulatory radiation limits might be exceeded. Therefore, the primary objective of the 30 foot (9 meter) HAC free drops is to damage the OP-RMSC package that results in the separation of the RMSC payload from the package body.

2.7.1.2 Test Sequence for the Selected Tests Based on the above discussion, the OP-RMSC package was tested for three specific, HAC 30 foot (9 meter) free drop orientations: 1) an impact on the top, 2) an impact on the side, and 3) an impact with CG-over-the top comer. Although only a single "worst-case" 30 foot (9 meter) drop is required per 10 CFR §71.73(c)(\), multiple tests were performed on each test unit to ensure that the most vulnerable package features were subjected to "worst-case" impact forces and deformations. The specific conditions selected for the OP-RMSC Certification Test Units (CTUs) are summarized in Table 2.7-1.

2.7.1.3 Summary of Results from the Free Drop Tests Successful HAC free drop testing of the CTUs indicates that the various OP-RMSC package features are adequately designed to withstand the HAC 30 foot (9 meter) free drop event. The most important result of the testing program was the demonstrated ability of the OP-RMSC package to retain the RMSC payload, which provides the shielding integrity and confinement of the raw material special form capsules, within the inner cavity. Significant results of the free drop testing are as follows:

  • No significant damage to the OP-RMSC package structure from the free drop impacts.
  • The RMSC payload did not separate from the OP-RMSC package.

Further details of the free drop test results are provided in Appendix 2.12.1, Certification Tests.

2.7.2 Crush Subpart F of l O CFR 71 requires performing a free drop test in accordance with the requirements of IO CFR §71.73(c )(I). The free drop test involves performing a 30 foot (9 meter) free drop onto a flat, essentially unyielding, horizontal surface, with the package striking the surface in an 24

INC OP-RMSC Safety Analysis Report Docket No. 71-9387 Revision 0, J 2/2020 orientation for which the maximum damage is expected. The crush test is required only when the specimen has mass not greater than I,100 lbm ( 500 kg), an overall density not greater than 62.4 lbn/tt' (1,000 kg/m\ and radioactive contents greater than l,000 A2, not as sial form. Since the density of the OP-RMSC package is greater than 62.4 lbn/ft' (1,000 kg/m ), and the radioactive payload is special form, the dynamic crush test is not applicable to the OP-RMSC package.

2.7.3 Puncture Subpart F of IO CFR 71 requires performing a puncture test in accordance with the requirements of IO CFR §71.73(c)(3). The puncture test involves a 40 inch ( I meter) drop onto the upper end of a solid, vertical, cylindrical, mild steel bar mounting on an essentially unyielding, horizontal surface. The bar must be 6 inches ( 15 cm) in diameter, with the top surface horizontal and its edge rounded to a radius of not more than 1/4 inch (6 mm). The minimum length of the bar is to be 8 inches (20 cm). The ability of the OP-RMSC package to adequately withstand this specified drop condition is demonstrated via testing of two full-scale, OP-RMSC CTUs.

2.7.3.1 Technical Basis for the Puncture Drop Tests The drop orientations selected for testing are intended to maximize the damage to the OP-RMSC package and cause potential separation of the RMSC payload from the inner cavity. Once it separates from the OP-RMSC package, potential damage to the RMSC payload may occur, which could affect the tungsten gamma shielding. Should this condition occur, the regulatory radiation limits might be exceeded. Therefore, the primary objective of the 40 inch (I meter) HAC puncture drop is to cause further damage from the 30 foot (9 meter) free drop damage to the OP-RMSC package that could cause significant damage to or separation of the RMSC payload.

2.7 .3.2 Test Sequence for the Selected Tests Based on the above general discussion, the CTUs were specifically tested for three HAC puncture drop orientations that attempted to worsen the damage from the 30 foot (9 meter) free drop as part of the certification test program. Although only a single worst-case" puncture drop is required by JO CFR §7l.73(c)(3), multiple puncture tests were performed to ensure that the most vulnerable package features were subjected to worst-case" impact forces and deformations. The specific conditions selected for the OP-RMSC Certification Test Units (CTUs) are summarized in Table 2.7-1.

2.7.3.3 Summary of Results from the Puncture Drop Tests Successful HAC puncture drop testing of the CTUs indicates that the OP-RMSC design features are adequately designed to withstand the HAC puncture drop event. The most important result of the testing program was the demonstrated ability of the OP-RMSC to contain its RMSC payload for shielding integrity. Significant results of the puncture drop testing are as follows:

  • No evidence of any significant damage to the OP-RMSC body due to the impact with the puncture bar.
  • The RMSC payload did not separate from the OP-RMSC package.

Further details of the free drop test results are provided in Appendix 2.12.1, Certification Tests.

25

INC OP-RMSC Safety Analysis Report Docket No. 71-9387 Revision 0, 12/2020 2.7.4 Thermal Subpart P of IO CPR 71 requires performing a thermal test in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR §71.73(c)(4), which requires a package to be exposed to a hydrocarbon fuel/air fire with a minimum temperature of 1,475 °P (800 °C) for 30 minutes. As discussed in Section 2.7.1, Free Drop, and Section 2.7.3, Puncture, there was no separation of the RMSC payload from the OP-RMSC package. Additionally, all of the structural and shielding materials, which are Type 304 stainless steel and tungsten for the OP-RMSC package and the RMSC payload have melting temperatures of 2,550 - 2,640 °P (1,400 - 1,450 °C) and 6,191 °P (3,422 °C), respectively.

These melting temperatures are significantly higher than the specified fire temperature of 1,475 0

P (800 °C). The only combustible materials in the OP-RMSC package are the non-structural polyurethane foam, which fills the annulus between the payload cavity and the outer pipe body, and the gasket between the inner closure lid and the payload cavity. The combustion of the foam or the gasket material has no effect on the structural or shielding materials of either the OP RMSC package or the RMSC payload. Therefore, the OP-RMSC package satisfies the requirements of 10 CFR §71.73(c)(4).

2.7.5 Immersion - Fissile Material The OP-RMSC package does not transport fissile material. Therefore, 10 CFR §71.73(c)(5) does not apply.

2. 7 .6 Immersion - All Packages The OP-RMSC package is a confinement boundary for special form payload and does not have a pressure boundary. Therefore, the effect of pressure per 10 CPR §71. 73(c)(6) is not applicable.

2.7.7 Deep Water Immersion Test (for Type B Packages Containing More than 105 A2)

The OP-RMSC package contains a maximum of2 Ci (0.07 TBq) ofCo-60, 16,000 Ci (592 TBq) of Ir-192 or Se-75 isotopes, which have A2 values of 11 Ci (.4 TBq), 16 Ci (0.6 TBq) [lr-192] and 81 Ci (3.0 TBq), respectively. Since the OP-RMSC package does not contain more than I 05 A2 quantities of radioactive material, deep immersion per IO CFR §71.6 I is not applicable.

2.7.8 Summary of Damage As discussed in the previous sections, the cumulative damaging effects of free drop and puncture drop tests were satisfactorily withstood by the full-scale OP-RMSC certification testing.

Additionally, the thermal event has no effect on the metallic OP-RMSC package or the RMSC payload. Subsequent radiation post-test surveys of the RMSC CTIJ payloads confirmed that shielding integrity was maintained throughout the test series. Therefore, the requirements of I 0 CPR §71. 73 have been adequately demonstrated by the full-scale testing of the OP-RMSC package.

INC OP-RMSC Safety Analysis Report Docket No. 71-9387 Revision 0, J 2/2020 2.12.1 Certification Tests Presented herein are the results of normal conditions of transport (NCT) and hypothetical accident condition (HAC) tests that address free drop, puncture, and thermal test performance requirements of 10 CFR 717* The certification tests are fully documented in the certification test report8

  • 2.12.1.1 Introduction The OP-RMSC, when subjected to the sequence ofHAC tests specified in 10 CFR §71.73, subsequent to the NCT tests specified in IO CFR §71.71, is demonstrated to satisfy the performance requirements specified in Subpart E of 10 CFR 71. As indicated in the introduction to Chapter 2.0, Structural. Evaluation, the primary proof of performance for the HAC tests is via the use of full-scale testing. In particular, free drop and puncture testing ofOP-RMSC CTUs confirms that the packaging will retain its shielding integrity following a worst-case HAC sequence.

2.12.1.2 Summary As seen in the figures presented in Section 2.12.1.7, Test Results, successful testing of the CTUs indicates that the various OP-RMSC packaging design features are adequately designed to withstand the HAC tests specified in IO CFR §71.73. The most important result of the testing program was the demonstrated ability of the OP-RMSC packaging to maintain its shielding integrity.

Significant results of the free drop tests are as follows:

  • No significant damage to the OP-RMSC package structure from the free drop impacts.
  • No separation of the RMSC payload from the OP-RMSC package.

Significant results of the puncture drop testing are as follows:

  • No evidence of any significant damage to the OP-RMSC body due to the impact with the puncture bar.
  • No separation of the RMSC payload from the OP-RMSC package.

2.12.1.3 Test Facilities The free and puncture drop testing was performed utilizing a horizontal concrete slab, which is approximately 9-12 inches thick x IO feet x 15 feet. The concrete slab is setting on a parking lot concrete slab that has an approximate thickness of91/2 inches. A 2 inch x 48 inch x 48 inch steel plate was placed on top of the concrete slab, grouted, and secured to the concrete slab by four (4) 5/8-inch anchor bolts. To increase the effective mass of the impact surface, a 5 inch thick steel plate was placed on top of the 2 inch thick plate and welded to the grouted plate. Considering only the concrete directly underneath the steel plates as being effective with a total thickness of 181/2 inches for the concrete slabs, the mass of the drop pad (concrete and steel plates) is conservatively 7 Title 10, Code ofFederal Regulations, Part 71 (10 CFR 71) Packaging and Transportation of Radioactive Material, 1-1-20 Edition.

30

INC OP-RMSC Safety Analysis Report Docket No. 71-9387 Revision O, 12/2020 estimated to be 8,100 lbm, which is more than 10 times the mass of the OP-RMSC CTUs. Based on these characteristics, the drop pad satisfied the requirement of 10 CFR §§71.71 and 71.73 for an essentially unyielding, horizontal surface.

The puncture bar assembly for the puncture tests was a 6-inch (15 cm) diameter x 251/2 inch (65 cm) long bar that was welded to a 3/4-inch (19-mm) thick square steel plate. The top circumferential edge of the bar was rounded to a maximum of l /4-inch (6-mm) radius. The free length of the bar was 251/2 inches (65 cm) (i.e., height above the base plate), thus ensuring an adequate length to facilitate maximum damage to the CTlJ as required by l O CFR §71.73(c)(3). Following the 30-foot (9-meter) free drop tests, the 3/4-inch ( 19 mm) thick plate of the puncture bar assembly was welded to the 5-inch (13 cm) thick steel plate on the drop pad. This configuration ensured that the puncture bar assembly was fully restrained for the puncture drop tests.

2.12.1.4 Certification Test Unit Description The OP-RMSC package is a welded and bolted assembly that consists of an outer 018-inch x 223/4 inch high, Schedule 10S stainless steel pipe and an inner 010-inch x 121/4 inch high, Schedule I OS stainless steel pipe. The inner pipe forms the payload cavity for the RMSC payload. The annular space between the inner and outer pipes is filled with rigid polyurethane foam that provides limited impact protection of the RMSC payload. A 3/8-inch thick, 133/4 inch diameter stainless steel plate, which is secured with eight (8) l/2-inch hex bolts, encloses the payload cavity. Above the inner lid, a 3/4-inch thick, 171/2 inch diameter stainless steel closure lid is secured to the outer 18-inch diameter stainless steel pipe body with eight (8) 1/2-13 UNC hex head bolts. The outer lid is slotted to dissipate decay heat from the payload cavity via convective heat transfer. Within the payload cavity, there are four (4) 3/8-inch thick stainless steel vertical bars welded to the inner cavity wall. The bars are circumferentially located at 90-degrees to minimize the clearance between the RMSC payload and the cavity wall.

The RMSC payload consists of a welded stainless steel pipe assembly that is welded to a smaller pipe assembly, which forms the payload cavity. A fixed tungsten gamma shield is installed between the outer and inner pipe assemblies. A tungsten gamma shield is installed over the payload cavity to provide shielding of the payload cavity, and then a bolted closure lid is installed to retain the cavity tungsten gamma shield over the cavity.

Prior to free drop and puncture testing, the two RMSC CTUs were loaded with dummy raw material source capsules and a holder to simulate the special form capsules, and then loaded into the OP-RMSC CTUs. The actual pre-test weights ofCTU-l and CTU-2 were 646 pounds and 647 pounds, respectively. The CTUs differed slightly from the OP-RMSC packaging design depicted in Appendix 1.3.1, General Arrangement Drawings as follows:

  • A neoprene gasket was utilized under the inner lid rather than the specified silicone gasket.
  • The tampering indicating seal/safety wire between two of the closure lid bolts was not installed in the CTUs.

Neither of these minor differences had any effect on the response of the CTUs to the free drop and puncture drop tests.

31

INC OP-RMSC Safety Analysis Report Docket No. 71-9387 Revision O, 12/2020 2.12.1.5 Technical Basis for Tests For the confinement system to fail, the OP-RMSC package would need to fail and allow the RMSC payload to separate from the package. This potential failure mode may only occur if either of the following conditions occurs:

I. Both the inner and outer lids of the OP-RMSC fail, resulting in the RMSC payload being ejected and sustain significant damage and,

2. The RMSC closure lid fails and the cavity tungsten gamma shield separates from the body.

For either of these potential conditions to occur, the OP-RMSC package would need to sustain significant damage due to the normal and hypothetical accident condition free drops, and then sustain further damage due to the 40-inch (I-meter) drop onto a 6 inch (15 cm) diameter vertical steel bar. Therefore, the primary objective of the 4 foot (1.2 meter) normal condition and the 30-foot (9-meter) hypothetical accident condition (HAC) free drops is to damage the OP-RMSC package that causes the RMSC payload to separate and possibly be damaged by the subsequent puncture drop. A secondary objective of the 9-meter (30-foot) HAC free drops is to attempt to damage the RMSC such that the tungsten gamma shields would become exposed, which could result in a loss of shielding.

The following sections provide the technical basis for the chosen test orientations and sequences for the OP-RMSC CTUs.

2.12.1.5.1 Temperature Both cold and hot conditions for the free drops were utilized for the OP-RMSC certification testing. To maximize impact decelerations, a CTU was chilled to below -20 °F (-29 °C). To maximize deformations, a CTIJ was heated to over 160 °F (71 °C). The results of the package testing demonstrated that extreme temperatures had no effect on the shielding integrity of the OP-RMSC package. In addition, the austenitic stainless steel and tungsten materials are not susceptible to brittle fracture, as delineated in Section 2.1.2.2. l, Brittle Fracture.

For the puncture tests, ambient temperatures were utilized for the OP-RMSC certification testing.

2.12.1.5.2 Free Drop Tests The OP-RMSC is qualified primarily by full-scale testing, with acceptance criterion being the ability to demonstrate shield integrity. Per 10 CFR §7l .73(c)(l ), the package is required to "strike an essentially unyielding surface in a position for which maximum damage is expected."

Therefore, for determining the drop orientations that satisfy the regulatory "maximum damage" requirement, attention is focused predominately on the issue of shield integrity of the RMSC payload.

To maximize the damage to the OP-RMSC package and potentially separating the RMSC payload, three orientations have been selected for the free drop testing:

1. Vertical, Top: This orientation targets the OP-RMSC closure lid and the inner closure lid.

Should this impact be sufficiently severe, both of the OP-RMSC lids may fail and eject the RMSC payload from the cavity. The intent of this drop orientation is also to simulate a probable orientation that could occur in actual use in the field.

32

INC OP-RMSC Safety Analysis Report Docket No. 71-9387 Revision 0, 12/2020

2. Side: This orientation again targets both the OP-RMSC closure lid and the inner closure lid.

Should this impact be sufficiently severe, the OP-RMSC lid assemblies could become damaged and result in a possible ejection of the RMSC payload. Additionally, should the RMSC outer pipe and/or the closure lid fail, the tungsten gamma shielding would be exposed, which could possibly release or expose the special form radioactive sources.

3. CG-Over-Top Corner: This orientation targets the OP-RMSC closure lid and the inner closure lid. The intent of this orientation is to attempt to damage the tungsten gamma shields of the RMSC, and the closures of the payload packages. Should this impact be sufficiently severe, the OP-RMSC closure and inner cavity lids may fail and result in the ejection of the RMSC payload package. Additionally, should the RMSC closure lid fail, the special form radioactive sources could be released or exposed, which would result in unshielded radioactive sources.

2.12.1.5.3 Puncture Drop Tests 10 CFR §71.73(c)(3) requires a free drop of the specimen through a distance of 40 inches (1 meter) onto a puncture bar "in a position for which maximum damage is expected." As in Section 2.12.1.5.2, Free Drop Tests, the "maximum damage" criterion is evaluated primarily in terms of loss of shielding integrity. Loss of shielding integrity could occur should the RMSC payload be ejected from the OP-RMSC body, and subsequent damage of the tungsten gamma shields occurs.

The orientations selected for the puncture tests were the side and CG-over-top corner tests as discussed in Section 2.12. 1 .5.2, Free Drop Tests. The intent of these orientations is to accumulate puncture damage with the damage from the 30-foot free drops for the same orientations.

2.12.1.6 Test Sequence for Selected Free Drop and Puncture Drop Tests The following sections establish the selected free drop, puncture drop, and thermal test sequence for the OP-RMSC CTUs based on the discussions provided in Section 2.12.1.5, Technical Basis for Tests. The tests sequences are summarized in Table 2.12.1-1 and illustrated in Figure 2.12.1-1 and Figure 2.12.1-2.

INC OP-RMSC Safety Analysis Report Docket No. 71-9387 Revision 0, 12/2020 3.0 THERMAL EVALUATION This chapter establishes the compliance ofthe OP-RMSC transporting a payload ofup to 16,000 Ci (592 TBq) oflr-192 or Se-75, and 2 Ci (0.07 TBq) ofCo-60 in special form with the thermal requirements of IO CFR 719

  • 3.1 Description of Thennal Design 3.1.1 Design Features The OP-RMSC package does not contain any specific thermal design features. The thermal performance of the package is demonstrated by test. Therefore, this section does not apply.

3.1.2 Content's Decay Heat The OP-RMSC may contain up to 16,000 Ci (592 TBq) oflr-192 or Se-75 in special form. The radiolytic decay heat oflr-192 is 7.03 x 10-3 W/Ci 10* The radiolytic decay heat of2.41 x 10-3 W/Ci 9 for Se-75. Since the radiolytic decay heat of Ir-192 is greater than the radiolytic decay heat ofCo-60 or Se-75, the heat load oflr-192 payload bounds the two other payloads. For the limited Co-60 payload of3 Ci (0.11 TBq), the maximum decay heat load is only 0.05 W (0.17 Btu/hr), which is negligible compared to the other two isotopes. Therefore, the maximum decay heat load for the OP-RMSC package is 100 W (341 Btu/hr) from the Ir-J 92 payload.

3.1.3 Summary Tables of Temperatures The maximum surface temperature ofthe OP-RMSC is 374 °f (198 °C), as documented in Section 3.3, Thermal Evaluation under Normal Conditions of Transport, in full sunlight.

3.1.4 Summary Tables of Maximum Pressures The containment ofthe OP-RMSC package is provided by the special form payload. Gas can freely move from the internal cavity to the environment during all phases ofoperation. Therefore, there are no internal pressures to be determined, since the OP-RMSC does not contain any pressure boundaries.

3.2 Material Properties and Component Specifications 3.2.1 Material Properties The OP-RM SC package is constructed primarily of stainless steel pipe and plate welded assembly that surrounds a tungsten gamma shield. Since the structural integrity ofthe package is established by testing, the only pertinent temperature limits on the components is established by their melting temperatures for the fire based Hypothetical Accident Condition (HAC). The melting temperatures for tungsten and stainless steel are 6,192 °f (3,422 °C), and 2,800 °f (1,538 °C), respectively.

The payload was qualified per Qualification ofSpecial Form Radioactive Material, in IO CFR §71.75(b)(4).

INC OP-RMSC Safety Analysis Report Docket No. 71-9387 Revision 0, 12/2020 3.2.2 Component Specifications The OP-RMSC package does not contain any component or material that is important to the thermal performance ofthe package. The two primary structural materials are austenitic stainless steel and the tungsten gamma shielding. As noted in Section 2.1.2.2.1, Brittle Fracture, both materials have been tested to temperatures below -20 °F (-29 °C) with no loss of structural or shielding capability. The limiting temperatures for the stainless steel structural and tungsten shielding materials are their respective melting temperatures, which are 2,800 °F (1,538 °C) and 6,191 °F (3,422 °C), respectively.

3.3 Thermal Evaluation under Normal Conditions of Transport This section presents the thermal evaluation of the OP-RMSC package under the normal conditions of transport (NCT) per IO CFR §71.71.

3.3.1 Heat and Cold Since the total decay heat load of the OP-RMSC package is 100 W (341 Btu/hr), a detailed thermal analysis ofthe package with the RMSC payload was performed. The internal temperatures will very closely match those on the surface ofthe package. To determine theNCT maximum package temperatures with and without insolation, a 3-D, half-symmetry thermal model was created utilizing ANSYS finite element analysis (FEA) program 11

  • A plot ofthe ANSYS thermal model is provided in Figure 3.3-1.

Per 10 CFR §71. 71(c)(I), the worst-case high temperature condition for the package consists of an ambient temperature of I 00 °F (38 °C) with maximum insolation. For this condition, the maximum surface temperature of the OP-RMSC is 374 °F (198 °C). The maximum surface temperature of the OP-RMSC in shade with an ambient temperature of 100 °F (38 °C) is 265 °P (123 °C). This temperature is greater than the maximum acceptable surface temperature of 122 0

P (50 °C) for non-exclusive use shipments, as stipulated in IO CFR §7 I .43(g). Therefore, an expanded metal personnel barrier with a minimum open area of 75% is installed over the OP-RMSC after the package is secured to the transport pallet. With the personnel barrier installed, the maximum accessible surface temperature is 115 °F (46 °C), which allows the package to be shipped as a non-exclusive use shipment. Figure 3.3-2 provides the configuration of the package with the personnel barrier.

The maximum temperature for any component in the OP-RMSC package with the I 00 W (341 Btu/hr) in an ambient temperature of 100 °F (38 °C) with maximum insolation is 752 °F (400 °C),

which occurs in the stainless steel special form capsules in the RMSC payload cavity. A summary ofthe maximum component temperatures forNCT is provided in Table 3.3.1-1.

The ANSYSNCT thermal model results are illustrated in Figure 3.3-3 and Figure 3.3-4 with and without insolation, respectively.

For the cold condition with zero decay heat, the package surface temperature will be equal to the low temperature ambient conditions of-20 °P (-29 °C) and -40 °P (-40 °C). For the structural and shielding materials utilized in the OP-RMSC package, the sub-zero temperature has no effect on the ability of the package to maintain its confinement and shielding safety functions.

Therefore, there is no maximum normal operating pressure (MNOP) for the OP-RMSC package.

3.4 Thermal Evaluation under Hypothetical Accident Conditions The thermal performance of the OP-RMSC package under Hypothetical Accident Conditions (HAC) in accordance with IO CFR §71.73 requires that a test specimen must be exposed to a fully engulfing hydrocarbon fuel/air fire with an average flame temperature of 1,475 °F (800 °C) for a period of 30 minutes. The only combustible materials in the OP-RMSC packaging are the polyurethane foam and the silicone gasket, which are not a structural or shielding material. Since all of the structural and shielding materials (stainless steel and tungsten) have melting temperatures of 2,800 °f (1,538 °C) and 6,191 °f (3,422 °C), respectively, the OP-RMSC package is unaffected by the lower 1,475 °F (800 °C) temperature for the HAC fire event.

3.4.1 Initial Conditions As noted in Appendix 2.12.1, Certification Tests, an OP-RMSC package certification test unit (CTUs) was uniformly heated above 160 °f (71 °C) as an initial condition for the 30-foot (9-meter) free drop. There was no rupturing of the stainless steel body to expose the tungsten 64

INC OP-RMSC Safety Analysis Report Docket No. 71-9387 Revision O, 12/2020 gamma shield. Therefore, the limiting temperature for the OP-RMSC package is the melting temperatures of the structural and shielding materials, which significantly exceeds the HAC fire event temperature.

3.4.2 Fire Test Conditions As noted above, there was no failure of the OP-RM SC package structure that exposed the RMSC payload that contains the tungsten gamma shield shielding. Therefore, the peak package temperatures would not exceed the 1,475 °f (800 °C) fire temperature, which is well below the melting temperatures ofeither the stainless steel (2,800 °f) or the tungsten (6,191 °f).

The special form qualification of the payload certifies that it could withstand the fire test without degradation or rupture.

3.4.3 Maximum Temperatures and Pressures Based on the certification tests performed on the OP-RMSC package, none of the components exceeds its temperature limit as described in Section 3.2.1, Material Properties. Specifically, the maximum package temperatures fall more than 500 °f (260 °C) below the lowest melting point of the stainless steel. Additionally, the special form payload does not exceed the temperature for the special form certification per IO CFR §7l.75(b)(4).

The containment of the OP-RMSC package is provided by the special form payload. Gas can freely move from the internal cavity to the environment during all phases of operation, so determination ofinternal pressures is not required.

Therefore, the OP-RMSC package satisfies the HAC thermal requirements set forth in 10 CfR §71.73(c).

3.4.4 Maximum Thermal Stresses The effects ofHAC thermal stresses on the OP-RMSC package are minimal for the single event of the HAC fire. The maximum fire temperature for the welded package would not exceed 1,475 0

f (800 °C), which would not result in any metal fatigue or detrimental condition that affects the shielding and confinement safety functions of the package. In addition, the thermal expansion coefficient for stainless steel is over three times the thermal expansion coefficient for tungsten heavy metal. Since the tungsten shields are not rigidly attached to the RMSC stainless steel, no significant thermal stresses will develop within the RMSC payload due to the maximum 1,475 °F (800 °C) fire temperature.

3.4.5 Accident Conditions for Fissile Material Packages for Air Transport This section does not apply, since the OP-RMSC does not contain fissile material.

INC OP-RMSC Safety Analysis Report Docket No. 71-9387 Revision 0, 12/2020 4.0 CONTAINMENT The OP-RMSC package is designed as a confinement boundary for raw material special form source capsules. Containment of radioactive material is provided by the special form construction of the payloads. The DOT-IAEA Certification Number for one raw material special form capsule that would be transported in OP-RM.SC is as follows:

Manufacture Model Number Certification Number Industrial Nuclear Co., Inc. INC-SFC-1* USA/0798/S-96

  • Limited to 4,000 Ci (148 TBq) of lr-192 per capsule.

Other raw material special form capsules may be transported in the OP-RMSC provided the capsules comply with the radioactive content limits specified in 1.2.2, Contents ofPackaging.

Since the OP-RMSC package does not provide containment, subsequent sections of this chapter are not applicable.

INC OP-RMSC Safety Analysis Report Docket No. 71-9387 Revision 0, 12/2020 5.0 SHIELDING EVALUATION This section demonstrates the shielding capability of the OP-RMSC package design for the authorized special fonn contents. For the lr-192 and Se-75 payloads, the shielding evaluation is demonstrated via prototypic testing in lieu ofan analytical evaluation. For the Co-60 payload, a MCNP shielding model was created to perform the shielding evaluation of a I Ci (0.04 TBq) source in order to determine the maximum Curie content for the RMSC payload.

5.1 Description of Shielding Design 5.1.1 Design Features The OP-RMSC package is a welded stainless steel structure that contains the RMSC payload, which contains the tungsten gamma shields and the radioactive content. Four (4) stainless steel raw material special form capsules, which each contain a maximum of 4,000 Ci (148 TBq) of lr-192 or Se-75 isotope, are placed in the cavity of the RMSC payload. For the Co-60 isotope payload, a maximum total of2 Ci (0.07 TBq) in special form may be placed in the RMSC cavity.

The RMSC payload cavity that is surrounded by the tungsten gamma shields provides the maximum attenuation of the gamma radiation.

5.1.2 Summary Table of Maximum Radiation Levels Table 5.1-1 provides the maximum measured external radiation levels for the RMSC payload with the maximum payload content of lr-192 (16,000 Ci [592 TBq]) for a non-exclusive use shipment.

Table 5.1-2 provides the maximum calculated external radiation levels for the maximum payload content of Co-60 (2 Ci [0.07 TBq]) for a non-exclusive use shipment.

INC OP-RMSC Safety Analysis Report Docket No. 71-9387 Revision 0, 12/2020 5.2 Source Specification 5.2.1 Gamma Source The radioactive content of the OP-RMSC package is limited to either 2 Ci (0.07 TBq) ofCo-60, or 16,000 Ci (592 TBq) oflr-192 or Se-75 isotopes. Since the photon energy oflr-192 (0.380 MeV average) is greater than Se-75 (0.280 MeV average), lr-192 results in a higher unit dose than Se-75 per curie of activity, as tabulated in Table 5.2-1. Therefore, the Ir-192 payload bounds Se-75 payload for the maximum 16,000 Ci (592 TBq) content. Because actual Ir-192 special form capsules are utilized to determine the acceptance of the tungsten gamma shields, the tabulation of gamma decay source strengths for the raw material special form capsules for lr-192 or Se-75 is not required for the RMSC payload.

For the 2 Ci (0.07 TBq) of Co-60 isotope payload, a MCNP model was created, and utilized to demonstrate the shielding capability of the RMSC payload. All relevant design features of the RMSC payload were modeled in MCNP. The model for the RMSC payload is shown in Figures 5.3-1 and 5.3-2.

The Co-60 source is concentrated within a single special form capsule located against the payload cavity radial wall. The source is modeled as a homogenous cylinder filling the capsule, with no credit taken for the source material.

per 2.6, Normal Conditions of Transport, and 2.7, Hypothetical Accident Conditions, the adjusted maximum measured radiation level on the surface and at I-meter of the RMSC pa yloads is 123 mrem/hr (l.23 mSv/hr) and 2 mrem/hr (0. 0 mSv/hr), respectively. As noted in Table 5.1- 1 these levels are below the regulatory limits of 10 CFR §7 l .47(a) and 10 CFR §71.51 (a)(2) .

For the Co-60 payload, the MCNP tallies were subdivided into sub-tallies to ensure all local maximum dose rates are properly captured. All side tallies were vertically segmented into ---0.4 inch (-1 cm) subdivisions. Similarly, top and bottom tallies were radially segmented into---0.4 inch (-1 cm) subdivisions. At I meter, for mesh locations away from the expected maximum dose rate locations (i.e., along package diagonals), larger subdivisions (---4 inch/-10 cm, either axially or

° radially) were utilized. All mesh tallies were rotationally segmented into four 90 subdivisions.

For NCT, surface dose rates were captured using three mesh tallies at the following locations:

top surface, side surface, and bottom surface. For NCT and HAC, the \-meter dose rates were captured using the same three mesh tallies at similar locations: I meter from top surface, I meter from side surface, and I meter from bottom surface.

INC OP-RMSC Safety Analysis Report Docket No. 71-9387 Revision 0, 12/2020 7.0 PACKAGE OPERATIONS 7.1 Package Loading This section delineates the procedures for loading the RMSC payload into the OP-RMSC package.

Hereafter, reference to specific OP-RMSC components may be found in Appendix 1.3.1, General Arrangement Drawings.

7.1.1 Preparation of the OP-RMSC for Loading I) Visually inspect the OP-RMSC package for damage and/or missing parts.

2) Remove the eight (8) hex bolts/washers and the closure lid from the OP-RMSC package body.
3) Remove the eight (8) hex bolts/washers and the inner closure lid.
4) Attach appropriate rigging to the hoist ring and remove the RMSC from the OP-RMSC cavity.
5) Visually inspect the RMSC for damage and/or missing parts.

7.1.2 Loading the Special Fonn Contents into the RMSC l) Loosen the six (6) hex bolts/washers so that they may be easily removed in a remote handling operation.

2) Place the RMSC in an appropriate hot cell or shielded cell.
3) Remove the six (6) hex bolts/washers. Using an appropriate lifting device, remove the closure lid from the RMSC body, and place it in a secure location in the cell.
4) Thread an appropriate lift device into the threaded hole in the cavity tungsten shield and remove it from the payload cavity. Store the tungsten shield in a secure location in the cell.
