NAC stated that the weight of the divider assembly is still considered in the evaluation of package weight and evaluation of center of mass. However, since it does not provide a safety function, it does not need to meet any codes and standards. NAC stated that it would not rely on the divider assembly in the criticality analysis when it replies to the NRCs request for additional information.
