- a. This certificate is issued to certify that the package (packaging and contents) described in Item 5 below meets the applicable safety standards set forth in Title 10 Code of Federal Regulations, Part 71, Packaging and Transportation of Radioactive Material.
- b. This certificate does not relieve the consignor from compliance with any requirement of the regulations of the U.S. Department of Transportation or other applicable regulatory agencies, including the government of any country through or into which the package will be transported.
- 3. THIS CERTIFICATE IS ISSUED ON THE BASIS OF A SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORT OF THE PACKAGE DESIGN OR APPLICATION
- a. ISSUED TO (Name and Address) b. TITLE AND IDENTIFICATION OF REPORT OR APPLICATION Robatel Technologies, LLC Robatel Technologies, LLC, application, Revision 5115 Bernard Drive No. 10, dated June 20, 2023.

- 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.: RT-100 (2) Description A cylindrical stainless steel, lead shielded, packaging, with a 35 mm thick outer and 30 mm thick inner stainless-steel shell, designed for the transport of radioactive waste materials.
The internal cavity of the packaging is 1,956 mm high, with a diameter of 1,730 mm. The annular space between the inner and outer shells is filled with a 90 mm thick lead for shielding. The cylindrical shell is attached to a circular forged bottom plate, with a full penetration weld, while the inner shell is attached to a circular forged flange, with a full penetration weld, at the top of the packaging. The base of the packaging consists of a 30 mm thick stainless steel outer bottom plate, a 75 mm thick gamma shield of poured lead, and a 50 mm thick stainless steel inner bottom forging.
The primary lid, consisting of a 210 mm thick stainless steel forging, is fastened to the packaging body with thirty-two M48 hex head bolts. The secondary lid, made of a 100 mm thick stainless steel upper plate, a 60 mm thick lead gamma shield and a 10 mm thick lower stainless steel plate, is attached to the primary lid with eighteen M36 hex head bolts.
Two tie-down arms, welded to the external shell, are considered as a structural part of the packaging. When not in use for package tie-down, shear pins prevent the tie-down arms from being used to lift the package. Removable lifting lugs are utilized for removal and handling of the primary and secondary lids, as well as of the impact limiters.

The stainless steel impact limiters have an outside diameter of 2,587 mm: the lower impact limiter extends 494 mm beyond the base of the packaging; the upper impact limiter extends 498 mm beyond the primary lid. The volume inside the impact limiter shells is filled with crushable shock-absorbing and thermal-insulating polyurethane foam.
The maximum gross weight of the package, including impact limiters, is 41,500 kg. The maximum (empty) weight of the packaging, including impact limiters, is 34,696 kg.
The containment boundary consists of the inner shell, the bottom forging, the top flange, the primary lid, the primary lid inner O-ring, the stainless steel vent port cover plate and its inner O-ring, the secondary lid and the secondary lid inner O-ring. A vent port penetrates the primary lid into the main cask cavity. The vent penetration contains a quick disconnect valve and is sealed with the vent port cover plate. The primary lid, secondary lid, and the cover plate are sealed with O-rings.
