IR-100ST Contents No Change from IR-100 Package License Contents Iridium 192 (Ir-192) capsule Selenium 75 (Se-75) capsule Licensed as Special Form Content Limit: 120 Ci (4.44 TBq) total limit Decay Heat Limit: 0.84 watts (2.87 Btu/hr) 10 > NRC Meeting, April 27, 2023
IR-100ST Certification Test Plan Objectives To demonstrate that, after a worst-case sequence of free and puncture drops, no degradation in shielding capability of payload packages occurs To demonstrate retention of special form capsule within the gamma shield 11 > NRC Meeting, April 27, 2023
IR-100ST Certification Test Plan (cont)
Three (3) Full-scale, Prototypic CTUs Demonstration basis: radiation dose rates comply with 10 CFR 71 radiation limits after full series of free and puncture drops Use of actual radioactive source capsule Post-test readings versus pre-test readings Normal speed filming of free drops planned Tests Compression, Lifting, & Tie-Down Free Drops Puncture Drops 12 > NRC Meeting, April 27, 2023
IR-100ST Certification Test Plan (cont)
Structural Evaluations:
Compression, Lifting, and Tie-Down by test NCT free drop, and HAC free & puncture drops, by test One NCT free drop Total of four HAC free and two puncture drops Thermal Evaluation NCT thermal by analysis HAC thermal based on furnace test of IR-100 CTU Shielding Evaluation by test 13 > NRC Meeting, April 27, 2023
IR-100ST Certification Test Plan (cont)
Initial conditions For maximum impact free drop, temperature will be NCT cold condition, -20 °F For maximum deformation free drops, temperature will be NCT hot condition Orientations NCT & HAC 30-ft CG-over-Lock Assembly orientation HAC 30-ft CG-over-Lock Assembly lower edge orientation Puncture tests will be performed at ambient temperature Orientations attack free drop damage of Lock Assembly 14 > NRC Meeting, April 27, 2023
