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) b. TITLE AND IDENTIFICATION OF REPORT OR APPLICATION Framatome, Inc. Framatome TN - B1 Safety Analysis Report, FS1 -

2101 Horn Rapids Rd. 0014159, Revision No. 1 1, dated January 31, 202 3, as Richland, WA 99354 supplemented.

4. CONDITIONS This certificate is conditional upon fulfilling the requirements of 10 CFR Part 71, as applicable, and the conditions specifi ed below.

(a) Packaging

(1) Model No.: TN - B1

(2) Description

The Model No. TN - B1 package is a rectangular box, 742 mm (29.21 in) high by 720 mm (28.35 in) wide by 5,068 mm (199.53 in) long, designed for the transport of unirradiated fuel assemblies or individual fuel rods with an enrichment up to 8.0 weight percent U - 235. The package carries a maximum of (i) two Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) fuel assemblies or individual rods, containing enriched commercial grade uranium or of uranium with a trace amount of material s as defined in Table 2 of this CoC, or (ii) uranium oxide generic pressurized water reactor (PWR), or uranium carbide loose fuel rods in a 5 inch diameter stainless steel pipe.

The package is comprised of one inner container and one outer container both made of stainless steel. The inner container has a double-wall stainless steel sheet structure with an alumina silicate thermal insulator, filling the gap between the two walls, to reduce the flow of the heat into the contents in the event of a fire. Foam polyethylene or rubber cushioning material is placed on the inside of the inner container for protection of the fuel assembly.

The outer container is comprised of a stainless - steel angular framework covered with stainless steel plates. Inner container clamps are installed inside the outer container with damping devices to minimize vibrations during transport. Wood and honeycomb resin-impregnated kraft paper act as shock absorbers. The fuel rod clad and ceramic nature of the fuel pellets provide primary containment of the radioactive material.
