- a. ISSUED TO (Name and Address) b. TITLE AND IDENTIFICATION OF REPORT OR APPLICATION U.S. Department of Energy Safety Analysis Report for Packaging the ORNL Washington, D.C. 20585 HFIR Unirradiated Fuel Element Shipping Container, ORNL/TM-11656, Rev. 11, dated July 2018, as supplemented.
- 4. CONDITIONS This certificate is conditional upon fulfilling the requirements of 10 CFR Part 71, as applicable, and the conditions specified below.
5.
(a) Packaging
(1) Model No.: Inner HFIR Unirradiated Fuel Element Shipping Container, and Outer HFIR Unirradiated Fuel Element Shipping Container
(2) Description
Packaging for unirradiated fissile radioactive material as fuel elements for the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR). The containers are right circular cylinders with an 11-gauge carbon steel shell. The lid is attached to the container with sixteen 3/8-16x1-inch steel bolts. The steel shell is filled with stacked fir plywood rings.
The plywood rings form a central cavity which is lined with 1-inch thick polyethylene foam.
The packaging for the inner HFIR fuel element has overall dimension of 25 inches OD by 45 inches high, a 10-7/8-inch diameter by 30-1/4-inch deep cavity, and a 660 pound gross weight.
The packaging for the outer HFIR fuel element has overall dimensions of 31.5 inches OD by 45.75 inches high, a 17-3/8-inch diameter by 31-1/8-inch deep cavity, and a 1,050 pound gross weight.
(3) Drawings
(i) The packaging for the inner HFIR fuel is constructed in accordance with Oak Ridge National Laboratory Drawing Nos. M-20978-EL-003E, Rev. G, and M-20978-EL-008E, Rev. D.
