A violation of ANSI Standard N14.1 (2001) 'Uranium Hexafluoride Packaging for Transport', Section 6.14.6 was reported 26 October, 2005. This is a reportable event because it is a violation of an applicable national standard and also an action outside the licensee's procedures. ANSI N14-1 (2001) 6.14.6 states, 'No material of any kind other than the specified solder shall be used on the threads to facilitate installation {of cylinder valves into the UH6 type 48Y cylinders}.' Contrary to that standard, MTW site maintenance personnel did use Teflon spray to facilitate installation of cylinder valves into type 48Y cylinders. Use of a thread lubricant, such as Teflon, can be expected to increase the degree the valve threads are engaged for a given torque. Teflon is a fluorinated compound and is not a chemical hazard in contact with UF6. | A violation of ANSI Standard N14.1 (2001) 'Uranium Hexafluoride Packaging for Transport', Section 6.14.6 was reported 26 October, 2005.
