UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 SAFETY EVALUATION REPORT Docket No. 71-9296 Model No. 880 Series Packages Certificate of Compliance No. 9296 Revision No. 12
SUMMARY
By application dated November 6, 2020, QSA Global, Inc. (QSA or the applicant) requested an amendment to Certificate of Compliance (CoC) No. 9296, for the Model No. 880 Series Package. QSA requested renewal of the CoC, made minor changes to the safety analysis report (SAR), and revised one drawing.
Staff reviewed these changes and concludes that they do not affect the ability of the package to meet the requirements of 10 CFR Part 71.
EVALUATION The applicant, QSA Global, Inc., proposed to make minor typographical and grammatical corrections to the SAR and minor changes to the Drawing R88000 in the SAR. The applicant provided the following submittals: (i) a list of the affected pages of the SAR, (ii) a summary table of the descriptions of the changes, (iii) a summary table of the changes to the Drawing R88000, and (iv) a copy of the SAR with the changes.
Structural Evaluation The NRC staff reviewed the application, Revision 13 of the SAR, for the QSAs Model 880 transportation package to verify that the structural performance of the package meets the requirements of 10 CFR Part 71.
The NRC staff found that the proposed changes are only related to the typographical and grammatical corrections to the SAR. There are no changes to the design and analysis of the structural components that are important to safety. Therefore, the proposed changes are acceptable.
With respect to the changes to the Drawing R88000, the applicant proposed to use: (i) a screw (10-32 x 3/8 LONG) for the lock mount set screw, as an option, and (ii) a screw (8-32 x 3/8 LONG) for the lock mount set screw, as an option. The screw (8-32 x 3/16 LONG) is currently specified for the original lock mount set screw in the Drawing R88000. Since those two proposed screws are not the important-to-safety components and there are no design and construction changes in the Drawing R88000, the proposed changes are acceptable.
Conclusion Based on review of the statements and presentations in the application, the NRC staff determined that the proposed changes are acceptable, and concludes that the package maintains adequate structural integrity to meet the structural requirements in 10 CFR Part 71.
CONDITIONS Condition No. 3.(b) has been updated to reflect Revision No. 13 of the SAR, dated November 2020.
Condition No. 5.(a)(3) has been updated to include the latest revisions of the drawing R88000 to Revision W.
Condition No. 8 has been updated to allow continued use of the previous revision of the certificate for approximately one year.
Condition No. 9 has been updated to expire May 31, 2026.
CONCLUSION Based on the statements contained in the application, and the conditions listed above, the staff concludes that the changes indicated do not affect the ability of the package to meet the requirements of 10 CFR Part 71.
Issued with Certificate of Compliance No. 9296, Revision No. 12.
