Richard W. Boyle Radioactive Materials Branch U.S. Department of Transportation 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE Washington, D.C. 20590
SUBJECT:
REQUEST FOR REVALIDATION OF FRENCH CERTIFICATE OF APPROVAL F/358/AF-96 FOR THE MODEL NO. COG-OP-30B PACKAGE, DOCKET NO. 71-3047
Dear Richard Boyle:
By letter dated March 27, 2023 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System
[ADAMS] Accession Number ML23255A052), as supplemented on April 26, 2024 (ML24312A342), the U.S. Department of Transportation requested that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff perform a review of the Certificate of Competent Authority No. F/358/AF-96 Revision Hw, Model No. COG-OP-30B. In your application you requested that the NRC provide a recommendation to revalidate the Model No. COG-OP-30B package for import and export use.
Based upon our review, the statements and representations contained in the application, and for the reasons stated in the enclosed safety evaluation report, we recommend revalidation of the French Certificate of F/358/AF-96, for the Model No. COG-OP-30B transport package. The staff notes, however, that the application only provides calculations using acceleration factors in the SSG-26, Table IV.1, for international transport, but does not provide calculations to demonstrate that the package meets the tie down system design requirements for U.S. transport in table IV.2. Table IV.2 requires the use of higher recommended acceleration factors for U.S.
transportation, which is consistent with the U.S. regulatory requirement Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations Section 71.45(b)(1).
