(a)
Packaging (1)
Model Nos: TN Eagle SC, TN Eagle LC (2)
==
Description:==
TN Eagle SC and TN Eagle LC The packaging, designed for the transport of spent fuel stored in dry shielded canisters (DSCs),
consists of a forged cask body equipped with a stack of neutron shielding rings shrink fitted onto its outer surface, a bolted steel lid, a steel bottom closure plate, and impact limiters. The bottom of the forged cask has an opening provided for the hydraulic ram access penetration of the cask for DSC loading and unloading operations. The ram access cover plate is part of the bottom closure system and is equipped with inner and outer elastomeric seals. The top and bottom impact limiters are composed of a steel casing enclosing aluminum honeycomb block, VYAL B resin, and a stainless-steel adapter serving as the interface between the cask and the blocks of aluminum honeycomb. A layer of neutron shield resin is placed in the adapter of the impact limiter for additional shielding.
To accept varying DSC lengths, spacers are used (if needed) to limit the axial movement of the payload. In addition, a hollow bottom spacer (to accommodate for the ram access) may be used depending on the DSC length. The containment boundary is defined by the forged cask body, the primary lid and its inner fluorocarbon seals, the lid port plug and its metallic seal, the ram access cover plate, and its inner-fluorocarbon seal.

Description (continued)
The TN Eagle SC (Standard Canister) and TN Eagle LC (Large Canister) have the same overall dimensions. However, because of different outside diameters for the DSCs, an inner sleeve is used for smaller diameter DSCs for the TN Eagle SC. The thickness of the forged cask body is different for the TN Eagle SC and TN Eagle LC to allow the loading of larger diameter DSCs.
The EOS-37PTH and EOS-89BTH DSCs are transported in the TN Eagle LC, while the 32PT, 32PTH1, 24PT1, 24PT4, and the Fuel-Only (FO) the Fuel/Control Components (FC), and the Failed Fuel (FF) DSCs are transported in the TN Eagle SC.
For both models, the packaging overall length is 8100 mm (318.90 in.) with the impact limiters and 5598 mm (220.39 in.) without the impact limiters, and the impact limiter outside diameter is 3550 mm (139.76 in.) while the forged cask body outside diameter is 2142 mm (84.33 in.). The TN Eagle SC has (i) a forged cask body inner diameter of 1850 mm (72.83 in.), (ii) a cavity length of 5061 mm (199.25 in.), and (iii) and empty weight of 90,000 kg (198,416 lb). The TN Eagle LC has (i) a forged cask body inner diameter of 1940 mm (76.38 in.), (ii) a cavity length of 5086 mm (200.25 in.), (iii) and an empty weight of 87,400 kg (192,684 lb).
The weight of the impact limiters for both the TN Eagle SC and the TN Eagle LC is 10,200 kg (22,487 lb). The maximum weight of the contents is 55,200 kg (121,695 lb) for the TN Eagle LC and 53,400 kg (111,727 lb) for the TN Eagle SC. The maximum gross weight is 163,000 kg (359,574 lb) for the TN Eagle LC and 164,000 kg (361,558 lb) for the TN Eagle SC.
