Notes Burnup = fuel element average burnup.
Use burnup (MWd/MTU) and Enrichment Type (A, B, C, or D with limits on 235U enrichment and 235U mass per element) to look up minimum cooling time in days.
Licensee is responsible for ensuring that uncertainties in burnup, enrichment, and mass are applied conservatively.
Fuel with burnups greater than those listed for each Enrichment Type is not authorized for transport.
Burnups may be either rounded up to the next higher burnup or linear interpolation may be used to determine the minimum cooling time. However, for conservatism, an additional cooling time of 30 days must be added to any linearly interpolated value.
Example: An M-06 class element with an enrichment of 45 wt.% 235U and a 235U mass of 350 grams is classified as enrichment Type C. A burnup of 100,000 MWd/MTU is acceptable for transport after 1440 days cooling time as defined by 146,650 MWd/MTU from the qualification table (when linear interpolation is not employed). When linear interpolation is employed the minimum required cooling time is 1267 days (1237 days based on interpolation + 30 days additional cooling time).
(iii) Intact TRIGA fuel assemblies/elements that are enveloped by the fuel assemblies/element design characteristics listed in Table 4, intact TRIGA fuel follower control rods that are enveloped by the fuel assembly/element design characteristics listed in Table 5, with an average burnup and minimum cooling time meeting the specifications of Table 6 for fuel assemblies/elements or of Table 7 for follower control rods, and a maximum decay heat of 8 watts per assembly/element, are authorized for shipment with the TN-LC-TRIGA basket.
Intact fuel assemblies/elements are fuel assemblies/elements containing fuel rods with no known or suspected cladding defects greater than hairline cracks or pinhole leaks.
The design characteristics of the TRIGA fuel assemblies/elements are described in Tables 4 and 5 below.
The fuel qualification Tables 6 and 7 specify the maximum assembly/element average burnup and minimum cooling time. The fuel elements/assemblies shall meet all the requirements of Tables 6 and 7.
The poison plates in TN-LC-TRIGA basket are constructed from either boron aluminum alloy, or metal matrix composite (MMC), or Boral. The minimum areal density of Boron-10 (10B) for either the boron enriched aluminum alloy or the metal matrix composite is 5.56 mg/cm2. The minimum areal density of 10B for Boral is 6.67 mg/cm2.

Notes for Tables 6 and 7:
Burnup = fuel element / assembly / follower control rod average burnup.
Use burnup (MWd/MTU) and Element ID to look-up minimum cooling time in days. Licensee is responsible for ensuring that uncertainties in burnup are applied conservatively.
Fuel with a burnup greater than that listed for each element type in Tables 6 and 7 is unacceptable for transport.
Burnups may be either rounded up to the next higher burnup or linear interpolation may be used to determine the minimum cooling time.
However, for conservatism, an additional cooling time of 30 days must be added to any linearly interpolated value.
Example: A T-03 element with a burnup of 100,000 MWd/MTU is acceptable for transport after 1170 days cooling time as defined by 107,250 MWd/MTU (Table 6, rounding up) on the qualification table (when linear interpolation is not employed). When linear interpolation is employed the minimum required cooling time is 1133 days (1103 days based on interpolation + 30 days additional cooling time).
(iv) Intact or damaged PWR fuel assembly, as specified in Table 8, or intact BWR fuel assembly, as specified in Table 13, or intact or damaged fuel rods in a pin can are authorized for transport with the TN-LC-1FA basket.
Intact fuel assemblies are fuel assemblies containing fuel rods with no known or suspected cladding defects greater than hairline cracks or pinhole leaks.

5.(b)(1) Type and Form of Materials (continued)
Damaged Fuel assemblies have missing or partial-length fuel rods or fuel rods with known or suspected cladding defects greater than hairline cracks or pinhole leaks.
The extent of cladding damage is to be limited such that it can be handled by normal means and that a fuel pellet is not able to pass through the gap created by the cladding opening. Damaged fuel assemblies can also contain top and bottom end fittings or nozzles or tie plates depending on the fuel type. Damaged PWR fuel assembly is authorized for transport only when confined in a Fuel Assembly Can (FAC).
Damaged Fuel rods are complete or partial-length fuel rods with known or suspected cladding defects greater than hairline cracks or pinhole leaks. The extent of cladding damage in the fuel rod is limited such that it can be handled by normal means and that a fuel pellet is not able to pass through the gap created by the cladding opening.
The fuel rods include irradiated PWR, BWR, MOX, and EPR fuel rods. Intact or damaged PWR and intact BWR fuel rods may be from any of the fuel assemblies listed in Table 8 or Table 13, respectively.
MOX rods have the same geometry as PWR or BWR rods, as defined in Table 8 and Table 13. The composition of MOX fuel is specified in Table 12.
The EPR fuel rods are specified in Table 10.
The poison plates in the TN-LC-1FA basket are constructed from boron aluminum alloy, or metal matrix composite (MMC), or Boral. The minimum 10B aeral density of the poison plate is 16.7 mg/cm2 for either the boron aluminum alloy or the MMC. The minimum 10B aeral density of the poison plate is 20.0 mg/cm2 for Boral.
In addition to the poison plates provided in the basket, Poison Rod Assemblies (PRAs) may be used for transportation of PWR fuel assemblies. The minimum required B4C content of the absorber rods in the PRA is 40% Theoretical Density (TD). A summary of the number of absorber rods required in the PRA for each PWR fuel class is shown in Table 11. PRA loading configurations are also illustrated in Figure 1 through Figure 5. Alternatively, in the absence of PRAs, burnup credit restrictions as shown in Table 11a and Table 11b are required for transportation of PWR fuel assemblies. Burnup credit is not applicable to BW 15x15 fuel class.
The PWR fuel assemblies fuel qualification table (FQT) is provided in Tables 15 and 15a. The BWR fuel assemblies FQT is provided in Table 16. The PWR rod FQTs are shown in Table 17 and Table 18 for the 21 and 9 rod configurations, respectively, and in Table 17a for the Unit 1 packaging. The BWR rod FQTs are shown in Table 19 and Table 20 for the 21 and 9 rod configurations, respectively. The MOX rod FQT, provided in Table 21 for both 21 and 9 rods, is applicable to both BWR and PWR MOX rods. The FQTs for the UO2 Standard EPR rods are governed by the PWR rod FQTs (Tables 17, 17a and 18), while the FQT for the MOX EPR rods is governed by the MOX rod FQT (Table 21).

USA/9358/B(U)F-96 Page 29 of 36
Notes:
General
- 1. Use burnup and enrichment to look up minimum cooling time in years. Licensee is responsible for ensuring that uncertainties in fuel enrichment and burnup are correctly accounted for during fuel qualification.
- 2. For values not explicitly listed in the tables, round burnups up to the first value shown, round enrichments down, and select the cooling time listed.
- 3. UO2 Fuel with an initial enrichment less than 0.7 (or less than the minimum provided above for each burnup) or greater than 5.0 wt.% 235U is unacceptable for transportation.
- 4. Shaded areas in these Tables indicate fuel is not analyzed for loading.
For Fuel Assemblies
- 1. Burnup = Assembly Average burnup.
- 2. Enrichment = Assembly Average Enrichment.
- 3. Fuel assembly with a burnup greater than 62 GWd/MTU is unacceptable for transportation.
For Fuel Rods
- 4. Burnup = Maximum burnup.
- 5. Enrichment = Rod Average Enrichment.
- 6. When transporting 21 or less fuel rods, the rods shall be placed in a specially designed pin can.
- 7. When transporting 9 or less fuel rods, the rods shall be placed in the 3x3 region of the pin can.
- 8. Fuel rods with a burnup greater than 90 GWd/MTU are unacceptable for transportation.
Example: Per Table 15, a PWR assembly with an initial enrichment of 4.85 wt.% 235U and a burnup of 41.5 GWd/MTU is acceptable for transport after a 3.95-year cooling time as defined by 4.8 wt.% 235U (rounding down) and 45 GWd/MTU (rounding up) on the qualification table (other considerations not withstanding).
