NRC FORM 618 U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION (8-2000) 10CFR 71 CERTIFICATE OF COMPLIANCE FOR RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL PACKAGES 1 a. CERTIFICATE NUMBER b. REVISION NUMBER c. DOCKET NUMBER d. PACKAGE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER PAGE PAGES 9196 32 71-9196 USA/9196/B(U)F-96 1 OF 4 2.PREAMBLE 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)
TN Americas, LLC 7160 Riverwood Drive, Suite 200 Columbia, MD 21046b.TITLE AND IDENTIFICATION OF REPORT OR APPLICATION TN Americas, LLC, application dated June 28, 2024.
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.: UX-30 (2) Description Overpack for 30-inch uranium hexafluoride (UF&) cylinders. The overpack is a right circular cylinder constructed of two stainless steel shells with the volume between the shells filled with 6-inch thick foam (7.8 -9.8 PCF). A stepped and gasketed horizontal joint permits the top half of the overpack to be removed from the base. The package "halves" are secured with ten indexed, cross-locking "ball lock" pins. The overpack is 43.5" in diameter by 96" long. The maximum gross weight of the package is 8270 lbs.
Two types of 30 inch uranium hexafluoride cylinders may be carried in the UX-30 overpack.
These are (1) an ANSI N14.1 Standard 30B cylinder, or (2) an ANSI N14.1 Standard 30C cylinder.
The ANSI N14.1 Standard 30C cylinder is essentially a 30B cylinder equipped with a Valve Protective Cover (VPC) that bolts over and protects the cylinder valve during transport. The VPC is a special design feature that provides additional assurance against the inleakage of water to the containment system and is an enclosure that retains any leakage.

(b) Contents (1) Type and form of material2 OF A. Unirradiated uranium, in the form of UFs, with a U-235 mass percentage not to exceed 5 weight percent.4 B. Reprocessed uranium, in the form of UFB, with a U-235 mass percentage not to exceed 5 weight percent. The fission product gamma activity shall not exceed 4.4 x 1 as MeV Bq/kgU. The alpha activity from neptunium and plutonium shall be less than 3.3 X 103 Bq/kgU.
(2) Maximum quantity of material per package 5,020 pounds UFs contained in an ANSI Standard N14.1 30B or 30C cylinder.
The maximum H/U atomic ratio for the UFB is 0.088.
The total activity in the package may not exceed 1 as A2.
(c) Criticality Safety Index (CSI)
Criticality safety index for the UX-30 overpack:
containing a standard ANSI N 14.1 30B cylinder Criticality safety index for the UX-30 overpack containing a standard ANSI N14.1 30C cylinder Criticality safety index for the UX-30 overpack is not applicable to non-fissile or fissile-excepted contents. 5.0 0.0 NRC FORM 618 U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION (8-2000) 10CFR 71 CERTIFICATE OF COMPLIANCE FOR RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL PACKAGES 1 a.

- 6. When the optional 4 lid lifting clips are used instead of the top lugs, the top lid (cover ) must be lifted with a spreader bar (saddle ).
- 7. In addition to the requirements of Subpart G of 10 CFR Part 71:
(a) Prior to each shipment, the weather/dust seal gasket between the upper and lower shells must be inspected and must be replaced if inspection shows excessive wear or any defects to the gasket.4 (b) Each packaging must meet the Acceptance Tests and Maintenance Program of Chapter 8 of the application.
(c) The package shall be prepared for shipment and operated in accordance with the Operating Procedures of Chapter 7 of the application.
(d) Prior to each shipment, the stainless steel components of the packaging, which include the ball-lock pins, must be visually inspected. Packagings in which stainless steel components show pitting, corrosion, cracking, or pinholes are not authorized for transport.
- 8. The 30-inch diameter UFs cylinder valve and plug threads may be tinned with ASTM B32, alloy 50A or Sn50 solder material, or a mixture of alloy 50A or Sn50 with alloy 40A or Sn40A material, provided the mixture has a minimum tin content of 45 percent.
- 9. Transport by air is not authorized.
- 10. Packagings must be marked with Package Identification Number USA/9196/B (U)F-96.
- 11. The package authorized by this certificate is hereby approved for use under the general license provisions of 10 CFR 71.17.
