Request for Extending Use of Expiring Transportation Packages

Dear Director Brach,

This letter. serves as a request from the University of Missouri Research Reactor (MURR) to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) that NRC grant MURR permission to continue using packaging for the shipment of Type B quantities of radioactive materials beyond October 1, 2008, when authorization to use those packages is set to expire.Specifically, MURR requests permission for continued, but limited, use until October 1, 2010 of the existing Type B packages currently in service. These packages were built and are maintainedto U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) specifications 20WC and 6M conforming in all aspects to the requirements of 49 CFR Subchapter C, in effect on October 1, 2003.. On or before October 1, 2010 it is expected that a fleet of radioactive materials packages compliant with 10 CFR 71 will be in service at MURR.Per NRC Regulatory Issue Summary 2008-18 "Information on Requests for extending use of Expiring Transportation Packages," the following information is provided. Please note that this same request for extended use of the packages has been submitted under separate cover to DOT, in accordance with 49 CFR 107.105.1. Package Information Please refer to Table I below for a comprehensive listing of the DOT specification package fleet currently operated by MURR, along with their serial numbers, model, and year of manufacture.

Identification of Shipments. (a) Number of shipments; (b) number of packages per shipment; (c) packaging serial numbers; (d) package contents; (e) end use of the radioactive material; (f) shipment origin and destination; (g) mode; (h) general timeframe (e.g., first quarter 2009); and (i) date last shipment will be completed. MURR is the primary or sole domestic source for many radionuclides used daily in cancer-fighting radiopharmaceuticals, research techniques and industrial applications. These shipments are made on a regular, ongoing basis and will continue until new packages are available in October 2010.Table 2 gives, a breakdown and summary of those shipments and Table 3 provides details on the use of the radioactive material shipped.All shipments originate at MURR, located in Columbia, Missouri.The packaging serial numbers will vary as packages are rotated in and out of service, though the general package type (either 6M or 20WC) will be the same for each shipment. Please see Table 1 for a complete list of serial numbers for each package in service at MURR.Table 2 Shipment of Type B Quantities of Radionuclides from MURR Packages Current Isotope Shipped Package Form Mode/Destination/Distance per Week Used Sm-153 1 6M Solid Charter Air/1 300 miles/Boston Area Ground (truck)/multiple destinations -New Orleans Area, Boston Area, Southern California/1 000 miles -1700 miles Ir-194 Solid Impurity, see Table 3 Ba- 1 20WC Solid Ground (truck)/Seattle area/2000 135m miles Ba-131 Solid "Impurity," see Table 3 Cs-131 Solid "Impurity," see Table 3 MURR Packaging Extension Request Page 3 of 14 22 August 2008 Table I Use of Radionuclides Shipped in Type B Quantities Isotope Form Use Sm-153 Solid (powder in quartz vial in canister) Cancer Treatment Ir-192 Solid (wires or buttons in aluminum Cancer Treatments, block or confinement) Industrial Radiography Ir-194 Solid (wires or buttons in aluminum Impurity with Ir-192 block or confinement) Ba-135m Solid (powder in canister) Impurity with Ba-131, dominant isotope for shipping Ba-131 Solid (powder in canister) Parent of Cs-131 Cs-131 Solid (powder in canister) Cancer Treatment, daughter from Ba-131 P-32 Solid (powder in canister) Tracer for biomedical research Yb-169 Solid (powder in quartz vial in canister) Cancer Treatment 3. Reasons for Requesting Extended Use. Justification for extending the use of expiring packages must describe why acquiring replacement packages is not practical and why shipments cannot be made before the October 1, 2008, expiration date. The justification must demonstrate that: (a) there are no alternative domestically approved packages available; (b) the contents cannot be reconfigured such that transport can be conducted in accordance with the regulations; and (c) the transport schedule cannot be adjusted so as to be conducted in accordance with the regulations. The justification must also describe any good-faith efforts to acquire replacement packages that meet the current package performance requirements, including a detailed description of past activities and the current status of acquiring replacement packages. In addition, any adverse impacts that will result if the shipment is not conducted should be fully described. MURR has attempted to meet the regulations in a timely manner. Upon the implementation of the new regulations in 2003, it was expected that industry would provide packages to the 10 CFR 71 standard. MURR, as a research institution and producer of medical, industrial and research radioisotopes, planned to purchase approved designs in the open market.MURR Packaging Extension Request Page 4 of 14 22 August 2008 Industry did not step forward and no designs meeting the varied research, medical and industrial radioisotope needs of MURR have been approved by the NRC as of this writing.Unsuitability of Alternative or Currently Approved Packages There are some packages that are currently permitted for use after October 1, 2008 that were considered by MURR as possible base designs to transport the radionuclides shown in Table 2 and Table 3. These include: " MIDUS approved under NRC Certificate of Compliance 9320* ES-3100 approved under NRC Certificate of Compliance 9315* MDS Nordion USA/0126/B(U)-96 under NRC Certificate of Compliance 0126* A variety of packages dedicated to special form material, such as the SPEC-1 50 (CoC 9263), SPEC-300 (CoC 9282) and the IR-100 (CoC 9157)The MIDUS package comes close to meeting many of the needs for a 20WC-1 replacement package. MIDUS is designed to transport Mo-99 as natrium molybdate in liquid form. The package weighs 330 kg (727 Ibs) but is well-shielded and the basic design is approved. The manufacturer of the MIDUS submitted a response to the RFP issued in 2007, however the proposed cost structure was far too expensive for MURR's budget. This was unexpected as MURR had initially assumed that this proven design would require a relatively inexpensive refit to expand the contents and serve as a 20WC-1 replacement. The ES-31 00 is designed for fissile material transport and weighs 190.5 kg (420 Ibs). In its current form, it is too heavy to replaced the 6M, yet too lightly shielded (using a stainless steel containment vessel) to transport the high-activity radionuclides required by MURR's clients and research partners. A similar package, the 9977 B(M)F-96, was submitted in response to the second Request for Bid issued in 2005, but the cost structure proposed for a 6M replacement design and refit for 20WC-1 ireplacement was far too expensive. The MDS Nordion package designated USA/0126/B(U)-96 is an excellent analog of the 20WC-1 and meets the needs for that type of packaging. It weighs 148 kg (326 Ibs) and is approved for multi-radionuclide use. Using the design, investing in getting U.S. regulatory approval for domestic use and then building the packages through MDS Nordion was an early idea for meeting at least a portion of MURR's packaging needs. MDS Nordion consistently rejected MURR's inquiries over several years on grounds that the design is proprietary and that MDS Nordion saw no business interest in allowing MURR to license and/or buy the design.The various special form packages are all highly specialized packages and dedicated to specific source types. In addition, many of these packages are designed by the companies that produce or ship the special form material and are considered proprietary designs. In addition, such designs are not easily reworked to ship solids and liquids rather than special form material.Such work and expense would be better spent on packages designed for the purpose.In summary, while some packages that have been granted a Certificate of Compliance by NRC would appear to be good base designs to help meet MURR's packaging needs, none would MURR Packaging Extension Request Page 5 of 14 22 August 2008 meet even a small portion of the Type B package replacement needs today and even with significant work and efforts to upgrade the designs, they fall far short of the replacement packages currently under contract for design and delivery.Reconfiquringq the Contents MURR investigated the possibility of dividing the radioactive material currently shipped in Type B quantities into multiple Type A shipments. Due to ALARA concerns, the nature of the material shipped and a variety of handling issues, this was not regarded as feasible ALARA Concerns -Applies to Sm-153, Ir-192 (Ir-194), Ba-135m (Ba-131, Cs-131), P-32, Yb-169 As an NRC licensee, MURR is required to adhere to an "As Low As Reasonably Achievable" policy in regards to radiation exposure to staff per 10 CFR 20.1101 (b).After the designated irradiation period for the material in question, the material is allowed to decay for a period of time and then the canisters are removed from the reactor pool.In the case of the material encased in quartz vials, the canisters are opened inside of a hot cell and the quartz vial removed. This quartz vial is enclosed in a shielded container which is then placed in a Type B package for shipment.In the case of material that is stored in only the aluminum canister, the canister is placed directly into the Type B package, after being cleaned.To require MURR to open a welded can containing open radioactive powder, or the break open a quartz vial containing radioactive powder in order to divide the material into multiple Type A shipments invites a host of potential exposure problems, including: " Free powder can contaminate the hot cell in which the work is being performed. This dramatically increases the chances that the material will contaminate the manipulators and various surfaces in the hot cell, requiring hours or days of decontamination and survey work and consequently more radiation exposure to staff.* Iridium wires or buttons are encased in aluminum blocks for irradiation positioning and shipping purposes. To saw, cut or dissolve the aluminum would require hours of work with intensely radioactive materials and an increase in the radioactive waste stream, generating mixed waste if the dissolution method was chosen." The extra hours spent on this process requires the hot cell workers to endure more exposure. Currently, typical exposure rates for hot cell workers are 5-10 mR per hour.Adding hours of processing time or decontamination work would quickly increase the radiation exposure to those workers.* Each package must be surveyed after loading. Instead of five to seven Type B packages to survey, the shipping and health physics staff would now have at least twenty or more Type A packages to survey, increasing the exposure time.MURR Packaging Extension Request Page 6 of 14 22 August 2008 Exposure rates would increase dramatically under any plan that required MURR to break the materials into Type A quantities prior to shipping.Material and Handling Issues -Applies to Sm-153, Ir-192 (Ir-194), Ba-135m (Ba-131, Cs-13 1), P-32, Yb-169 The materials shown in Table 2, above, are sealed in welded aluminum canisters and leak-tested prior to being irradiated. Some materials, such as Sm-1 53, are first sealed in quartz vials before being welded into the canisters. Other material, such as Ba-131/Ba-135m/Cs-131 product are sealed directly into the welded canister and not encased in a quartz vial.A variety of handling issues also arise in subdividing radioactive material into Type A quantities. Any increase in complexity can have a direct impact on safety. Some issues include:* The increased workload would result in a bottleneck in getting packages out the door as the number of packages shipped by MURR increased dramatically. This would result in delays and reduced efficacy of the radionuclides when used in cancer treatments, research or industrial uses.* For our radiopharmaceutical clients, breaking the quartz vial and parceling out the radioactive powder into smaller quantities would make it unusable in a radiopharmaceutical that has been approved by the Federal Drug Administration (FDA).Some of our clients require a specific target material and sample size as part of their processing procedures as approved by the FDA or other regulatory bodies. Their quality programs require the use of a single discrete sample etched with a QA number that must be confirmed by the radiopharmaceutical manufacturer before production can begin. Subdividing such quantities is not realistic for our clients' and partners' intended, approved, use.* Similarly, the radionuclides that are used in medical applications are sterilized by the intense gamma radiation exposure they experience during irradiation at MURR.Opening these sealed containers (to separate the material into Type A quantities) in a non-sterile environment allows for the introduction of both biological and non-biological contaminants. This invites a host of contamination issues and likely renders the samples unusable.The ALARA and materials handling issues raise significant concerns for workers and end-users, including patients. As a result, it is not feasible to subdivide all of MURR's Type B shipments into a greatly increased number of Type A shipments. Readiusting the Transport Schedule As MURR serves medical, research and industrial customers on an ongoing basis, a readjustment of transportation schedules would not help alleviate the need for permission from the NRC to continue using the DOT specification packages on and past October 1, 2008.MURR Packaging Extension Request Page 7 of 14 22 August 2008 Efforts to Meet the ReQulations It became clear over the course of 2004 that industry would not be stepping forward to design, gain approval for, and manufacture packages suited to the varied needs of MURR's research, medical and industrial partners. MURR then attempted to prod the market by initiating contract bids. Over the course of 2005, MURR initiated two Requests for Bid, soliciting industry for a contract to design, test and fabricate packages meeting 10 CFR 71. The first bid met with no response. The second bid produced one response that could not be implemented due to excessive costs.In 2006, MURR then formed an investigative team to determine the feasibility of obtaining the necessary licensing to design, test and build packages to the 10 CFR 71 standard in-house.This was not a feasible solution in terms of expertise, experience and financing. The above efforts having met with no success, MURR then issued a Request for Proposal in March of 2007 which resulted in four vendor responses. A vendor was awarded a contract in August of 2007 and work is underway for the design, testing and fabrication of Type B Packages that will satisfy 10 CFR 71.The NRC has issued a docket number for each design. The 6M replacement has a docket number of 71-9337 and the 20WC-1 replacement has a docket number of 71-9338. Details on the project itself are provided in Section 5, below.Adverse Impacts If MURR is denied permission to continue using DOT specification packaging, it will result in a severe impact on the domestic supply of radioisotopes for medical uses, industrial applications and research and will have dramatic consequences for MURR as it currently operates.MURR relies on Type B DOT specification package shipments for roughly 30% of its Products &Services revenue. Losing this revenue will result in significant, unsustainable budget shortfalls. Such a significant loss of revenue, combined with the large sums already spent and budgeted for the Type B package replacement project could not be absorbed by MURR.Having the ability to ship in DOT specification packaging becomes even more critical if some of MURR's partners and customers lose the ability to ship in their DOT specification packaging come October 1, 2008. If MURR is allowed to continue to ship, we can fill the gap for those customers of ours who choose not to apply for, or are denied, permission to operate DOT specification packages past the deadline. The shipment details provided in Table 2 above do not include shipments made in customer-owned packages, some of which are DOT specification packages.Effects on Individual Isotopes MURR is the sole domestic source for Sm-1 53, Ir-1 92, Cs-1 31, P-32, and Yb-1 69. MURR's relatively high flux (4E14 n/cm 2-sec), consistent operating schedule (averaging 150 hours/week, 52 weeks per year since the late 1970's) and our central geographic location make us the only MURR Packaging Extension Request Page 8 of 14 22 August 2008 reliable and efficient source for the high-activity radionuclides needed for medical, industrial and research use.The Sm-153 provided by MURR is the radioactive component of a cancer-fighting radiopharmaceutical, Quadramet. Without the ability to ship the Sm-1 53 in a DOT specification package, that product can not be produced and provided to cancer victims.The Ir-192 provided by MURR is used by a variety of companies for both brachytherapy applications and industrial radiography needs. These companies could rely on foreign reactors for this material, but MURR is a preferred supplier to them due to our reliable schedule. Without the ability to ship Ir-192 in DOT specification packages, the United States loses a major domestic source of this isotope, and the only source that can reliably produce it week in and week out.The Cs-1 31 provided by MURR is used as the radioactive component for a variety of cancer treatments. We are the sole domestic source for this radionuclide. If we lose the ability to ship this radionuclide in DOT specification packaging, the manufacturer of the cancer therapy agents will be forced to turn to foreign reactors for supply.MURR is the sole domestic source for P-32. Other reactors can provide it to our customer, but at the cost of relying solely on foreigner reactors for this critical component of biomedical research.Yb-169 is supplied to a customer for continuing cancer medicine research and therapies. As with the other radionuclides, MURR is the sole domestic source for this material.If MURR loses the ability to ship these radioisotopes in DOT Type B specification packaging, the ripple effects will extend into various industries and into the lives of patients receiving cancer therapies.

4. Safety Justification for Continued Use and Proposed Compensatory Measures.Since the expiring package designs may lack safety enhancements included in newer designs, the request must include a safety justification for continued use and a description of compensatory measures that will be used to provide an equivalent level of safety. Examples of compensatory measures that may be considered are: (a) special package inspections, tests, or determinations that ensure that the packaging is in unimpaired physical condition; (b) transport by exclusive use; (c) transport during time of low road usage; and (d)accompaniment of shipment by escort equipped to effect a recovery in an emergency situation or in case of a transportation accident.MURR operates, and will continue to operate, the existing fleet of DOT specification packages in compliance with 49 CFR 173.416(c), which requires MURR to conform "in all aspects to the requirements of this subchapter in effect on October 1, 2003." Adherence to the applicable regulations is governed by MURR SOP AP-SH-001 (Administrative Procedure, Radioactive Material Shipping).

MURR Packaging Extension Request Page 9 of 14 22 August 2008 Compliance with the DOT regulations is demonstrated through a variety of inspection, operation and maintenance programs. In addition, MURR operates the package fleet under an NRC-approved Quality Assurance (QA) program.Please note that all Standard Operating Procedures referenced below, as well as the QA/QC Program Service Applications and official checklists are reproduced in full in Appendix A.Inspection Upon the return of a DOT specification package to MURR by a customer, the package is first surveyed for contamination, per MURR SOP RP-HP-110 (Survey and Decontamination of Returned Shipping Containers). The package is then inspected by a Certified Shipping Technician and the condition recorded on the "Type B Cask Inspection Log" which is kept for each DOT specification package. Every single DOT specification package must be inspected in this manner when it returns to the facility.If there is a need for minor repairs or maintenance, this is noted and the maintenance is performed under the appropriate procedure. Operation MURR operates the packages in a manner that ensures safe operation of the fleet and provides for constant inspections of the packages themselves by both a worker and reviewer."

MURR utilizes a standard industry software package (MAXIMO) for MURR Packaging Extension Request Page 10 of 14 22 August 2008 scheduling and tracking preventive maintenance. This software generates automatic notices of when maintenance is due, assigns the task to a responsible party and allows for tracking and status reports of the work.The preventive maintenance items currently scheduled for the DOT specification packages are annual replacement of gaskets in the DOT 7A Inner Cask used by the 20WC-1 packagings and for calibration and inspection of the torque wrenches and other tools used in working with the packages.Maintenance and inspection is intimately tied to Operation, requiring a constant review of all packages in service to assure that they meet the regulations governing packaging. NRC Quality Assurance Program MURR operates the DOT specification package fleet under NRC QA Certification No. 71-0108, Revision No. 8 and the associated QA Plan. This plan may be found in Appendix C. This QA program allows for maintenance, repair and use of the packagings. The QA plan provides a framework for compliance with 10 CFR 71, Subpart H. This QA Program applies to all activities affecting the DOT specification packages and their components. The program comprises the planned and systematic actions necessary to provide confidence that the package will perform satisfactorily while in service.The Program In summary, each package is subject to a complete inspection every time it is used and returned to MURR. This program allows for the constant monitoring of the fleet and provides for immediate action to repair the packages or replace components when necessary. This constant review of the packages helps to ensure that the fleet is maintained in at least fair condition at all times.5. A Plan and Schedule to Acquire Replacement Packages or Complete Necessary Shipments. Details about the planned acquisition of replacement packages must be provided, along with key milestones, and proposed implementation dates, unless the licensee can show why acquiring a replacement package is not practical and why shipments cannot be made before the October 1, 2008, expiration date.The University of Missouri Research Reactor (MURR) signed a $2 million contract (in response to University of Missouri RFP #C032907) with a package design and manufacturing vendor, Croft Associates, Ltd. on 22 August 2007.This contract requires the vendor to design, build and gain NRC and DOT approval of two new Type B package designs. These designs are: 1. The SAFKEG-LS, which will replace the 6M DOT specification package and weigh less than 68 kilograms (150 pounds) fully loaded MURR Packaging Extension Request Page 11 of 14 22 August 2008

2. The SAFKEG-HS, which will replace the 20WC DOT specification package Please refer to Appendix B for specification sheets describing each package design in general terms.MURR has spent over $320,000 to date on the Type B Package Replacement Project and is projected to spend over $2 million total (for contracted and off-contract expenses) by the end of the contract.Please note that we have split the program into separate production tracks for the LS and HS designs. There are substantial lead times involved in acquiring the depleted uranium (DU)necessary for the HS design. The LS design faces no such production challenges and the Safety Analysis Report for Packaging (SARP) for the LS will be submitted to the NRC several months in advance of the HS SARP.It is hoped that the experience gained from the LS SARP review will speed the approval of the HS SARP by NRC, though this obviously cannot be guaranteed.

Key Accomplishments to Date To date, the vendor has completed the following major tasks:* Package Designs are complete, manufacturing drawings have been prepared for the designs* Materials studies have been compiled for the stainless steel and DU components. Full testing of the proposed packing material is scheduled for August* Extensive work has been done on describing and evaluating the means to contain the nearly 50 radionuclides that MURR will require to be listed on the eventual Certificate of Compliance, including the design of shielded re-usable containers that will be packed in the containment vessel" Finite Element Analysis (FEA) for Stress has been performed for the package designs, analyzing the outer stainless steel shell, packing material and inner containment vessel* Shielding calculations have been performed for the package designs using worst-case scenarios for placement and activity of radioactive material" Orders have been placed with a specialty manufacturer to forge depleted uranium shields for the HS prototype* The vendor's Quality Assurance program was audited by the NRC in May of 2008 and approval granted to conduct all design, testing and SARP work* Drop tests have been performed at both ambient temperature and -40 0 C, from 9 meters, on a "pre-prototype" unit to confirm structural properties of the stainless steel and MURR Packaging Extension Request Page 12 of 14 22 August 2008 packing material, as well as to acquire g-loadings for use in further FEA Stress calculations Significant progress on a draft SARP for each design has been made The above tasks are merely highlights of the work conducted to date.Upcoming Tasks Some key upcoming task items and due dates are provided in Table 4 below.Table 4 Key Upcoming Tasks for MURR Type B Package Replacement Project Estimated Task Etioate Comments Completion Date LS Prototype 29 August 2008 Manufacture LS Prototype Tests 13 October 2008 Includes steady state thermal testing and all drop tests and comparison to computer models LS SARP 23 March 2009 Completion date is the expected submission date Compilation of Rev 0 to NRC Issuance of SER This is an estimate and dependent upon the NRC and Certification by January 2010 review process.NRC LS Manufacturing May 2010 This is entirely dependent upon the NRC review process HS Prototype 12 December Manufacture 2008 HS Prototype Tests 23 January 2008 Includes steady state thermal testing and all drop tests and comparison to computer models HS SARP 11 May 2009 Completion date is the expected submission date Compilation of Rev 0 to NRC Issuance of SER This is an estimate and dependent upon the NRC and Certification by March 2010 review process.NRC HS Manufacturing July 2010 This is entirely dependent upon the NRC review process MURR Packaging Extension Request Page 13 of 14 22 August 2008 Please refer to Appendix C for a complete Project Plan and Gantt chart that has been provided to MURR by the vendor. The Gantt chart provides a detailed list of both accomplished tasks and future work.Conclusion The University of Missouri Research Reactor has made every effort to obtain compliant packaging so that we may continue our safe and responsible shipment of Type B quantities of radioactive materials throughout the United States. This request provides information and background material supporting the request that NRC allow MURR to continue to operate its existing fleet of 6M and 20WC packages for two (2) years past the October 1, 2008 deadline.As MURR serves radiopharmaceutical companies with materials shipped in Type B quantity, we would appreciate the NRC notifying MURR as soon as practicable with their response to this request. MURR is obligated to provide our customers with as much lead time as possible to help them arrange for an orderly shutdown of production and for notification of cancer patients scheduled to receive treatments. Your time and attention to our request is appreciated. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me at the address, phone number or email address above. In addition, you may contact Mr. Michael Flagg, the technical point of contact for this project at MURR, via email at FlaggM@missouri.edu or by phone at 573-882-5364. Sincerely, Ralph A.

INTRODUCTION By this document the University of Missouri Research Reactor (MURR) establishes a Shipping Quality Assurance (QA) Program in accordance with 10 CFR 71, Subpart H. The MURR Shipping QA Program establishes requirements applicable to procurement, use, maintenance, and repair of packaging used in transport of licensed material in excess of a Type A quantity. The program includes the purchase, handling, shipping, storing, cleaning, assembly, inspection, testing, operation, maintenance, and repair of Type B shipping containers regulated by 10 CFR 71. The Shipping QA Program applies to those activities affecting the casks and their components, which are significant to safety. Quality assurance comprises those planned and systematic actions necessary to provide adequate confidence that a system or component will perform satisfactorily in service. Shipping casks regulated by 10 CFR 71 will be released for shipping only after they have satisfactorily met the requirements of the MURR Shipping QA Program.11. QUALITY ASSURANCE I. Organization The Associate Director of the MURR Regulatory Assurance Group (RAG) is responsible for the Shipping QA Program and shall assure the program complies with 10 CFR 71, Packaging and Transportation of Radioactive Material. The Associate Director (RAG) will have the following minimum qualifications: Bachelors degree in Engineering or related field; Certified Health Physicist (CHP); five years experience with reactors; and general knowledge of all aspects of research reactor operation. The Associate Director (RAG) shall designate individuals, in writing, as Shipping QA Supervisors who have the responsibility to ensure that all work in their assigned area complies with 10 CFR 71, Subpart H-Quality Assurance. The Associate Director (RAG) shall designate in writing Shipping QA Inspectors, who have the responsibility to ensure that all requirements of Shipping QA procedures have been performed and verified. The Shipping QA Supervisor and Shipping QA Inspector positions may be collateral duties of the designated staff members.Page 3 of 11 All Shipping QA Supervisors, Inspectors, and Performers have the authority to stop unsatisfactory work in order to comply with federal regulations and MURR Shipping QA procedures. If a difference in opinion or a safety concern occurs between a Shipping QA Inspector and other Shipping QA personnel concerning compliance with the Shipping QA Program, the work evolution involved shall be stopped and put in a safe condition. The Shipping QA Inspector shall show the individual(s) the basis for the requirement. If the difference of opinion still exists, the appropriate Shipping QA Supervisor shall resolve the difference after consultation with the Associate Director (RAG).MURR has divided the Shipping QA Program into four responsible groups: Hot Cell Operations, Radioactive Materials/Shipping, Reactor Operations and Hazardous Waste/Health Physics. Each group has a Shipping QA Supervisor to ensure that work in their assigned area meets the requirements of the MURR Shipping QA Program.The Supervisor, Hot Cell Operations, is responsible for the packaging of Type B radioactive by-product materials and their preparation for shipment. The Supervisor, Hot Cell Operations is designated as a Shipping QA Supervisor. The Health Physics Manager is designated as an alternate Shipping QA Supervisor for Hot Cell Operations. The Manager, Radioactive Materials/Shipping is responsible for all Type B shipments except for shipments of reactor spent fuel, fissile material and radioactive waste. The primary responsibility of the Manager, Radioactive Materials/Shipping is the safe transportation of Type B quantities of by-product radioactive materials. The Manager, Radioactive Materials/Shipping is designated as a Shipping QA Supervisor. The Health Physics Manager is designated as an alternate Shipping QA Supervisor for Radioactive Materials/Shipping. The Assistant Reactor Manager-Physics is responsible for Type B shipments of reactor spent fuel and/or fissile material. The primary responsibility of the Assistant Reactor Manager-Physics is the safe shipment of reactor spent fuel. The Assistant Reactor Manager-Physics is designated as a Shipping QA Supervisor. The Assistant Reactor Manager-Engineering is designated as an alternate Shipping QA Supervisor for spent fuel and/or fissile material shipments. Page 4 of 11 The Hazardous Waste Coordinator/Health Physicist is responsible for Type B shipments of radioactive waste. The main responsibility of the Hazardous Waste Coordinator/Health Physicist is the safe shipment of radioactive waste. The Hazardous Waste Coordinator/Health Physicist is designated as a Shipping QA Supervisor. The Health Physics Manager is designated as an alternate Shipping QA Supervisor for the Hazardous Waste Coordinator/Health Physicist. Per MURR Technical Specification 6.1, the Health Physics Manager shall annually review and approve the procedures for preparation of radioactive materials for shipping and the shipping of by-product material. The Assistant Reactor Manager-Physics shall annually review and approve all procedures for preparation and shipment of Type B radioactive materials of reactor spent fuel and/or fissile material.2. Quality Assurance Program The MURR Shipping QA Program establishes requirements applicable to procurement, use, maintenance, and repair of packaging used in transport of licensed material in excess of a Type A quantity. Where appropriate, procedures will be in place to ensure the implementation of the MURR Shipping QA Program requirements. Any action or procedure that could significantly affect the ability of any structure, system, or component to perform safely and as specified, falls within the scope of the MURR Shipping Quality Assurance Program.The Shipping QA Program will be applied in a graded approach to an extent consistent with the importance to safety. Because MURR does not design or manufacture Type B shipping casks, the regulations in 10 CFR 71, Subpart D-Application for Package Approval, Subpart E-Package Approval Standards and Subpart F-Package, Special Forms, and LSA-II1 Tests are not applicable to the MURR Shipping QA Program.Prior to use and shipment of Type B shipping packages, it is the responsibility of the appropriate Shipping QA Supervisor to ensure that MURR is registered with the NRC as an authorized user of the package and the shipment shall be made in accordance with the conditions of the NRC Certificate of Compliance. For international shipments of Type B packaging, it is the responsibility of the appropriate Shipping QA Supervisor to ensure that MURR is registered with the U. S. Certificate of Competent Authority as an authorized user of the package and the shipment shall be made in accordance with the conditions of the U. S. Certificate of Competent Authority. Page 5 of 11 All Shipping QA Supervisors and Shipping QA Inspectors will have their training and experience documented by completion of the appropriate training records. In their assigned areas, each Shipping QA Supervisor shall ensure that all personnel who perform work in accordance with their Shipping QA procedures are adequately trained and qualified to perform this work.3. Procurement Document Control Prior to the purchase of Type B shipping packages, it is the responsibility of the appropriate Shipping QA Supervisor to ensure that the manufacturer of the packaging supplies all appropriate certifications verifying the designated packaging (model and serial number) was manufactured under the control of an NRC-approved QA program, identifies the type of verification activities required during use and maintenance, and designates other pertinent documentation to be furnished with the packaging (certificate of compliance, as-built drawings, use and maintenance manuals, photographs). Prior to the purchase of replacement parts for Type B shipping casks, all parts important to safety will be reviewed by the appropriate Shipping QA Supervisor to ensure that all technical and QA requirements are included in purchase orders. When applicable, purchase orders shall be placed with suppliers/manufacturers previously qualified during fabrication of the packaging. For the purchase of replacement parts from suppliers/manufacturers not previously identified as qualified sources, it is the responsibility of the appropriate Shipping QA Supervisor to ensure that the replacement parts meet requirements at least as stringent as the original criteria.4. Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings Administratively controlled procedures shall be established for the use, maintenance, repair and preparation for transport of all Type B packaging.

5. Document Control Control will be exercised for Shipping QA documents.

Shipping QA documents consist of procedures, manuals, audits, instructions, specifications, training records, and drawings used in the procurement, use, maintenance, and repair of Type B shipping casks.Page 6 of 11 Prior to use, the Health Physics Manager will review and approve all Shipping QA procedures and revisions for the preparation and shipment of Type B quantities of by-product material. Prior to use, the Assistant Reactor Manager-Physics will review and approve all Shipping QA procedures and revisions for preparation and shipment of Type B quantities of reactor spent fuel and fissile material.Controlled copies of approved Shipping QA procedures will be made available to persons responsible for using those documents. In their assigned area, it is the responsibility of each QA Shipping Supervisor: to ensure the accuracy of all Shipping QA documents; to ensure that all personnel performing QA work are adequately trained and qualified to perform this work; and to ensure that all personnel performing QA work are aware of any revisions to the procedures. It is the responsibility of each Shipping QA Supervisor to ensure this training is completed and documented.

6. Control of Purchased Material, Equipment, and Services It is the responsibility of the appropriate Shipping QA Supervisor to ensure that purchased material, equipment, and services, whether purchased directly or through contractors, conform to the procurement documents.

Source surveillance, audits of records, inspection and examination of products on delivery shall be performed as appropriate to ensure that the design and fabrication of Type B packaging was performed under the control of NRC-approved QA programs.The appropriate Shipping QA Supervisor shall ensure that Type B packaging received at MURR is accompanied by appropriate documentation as identified in the purchase order. All documents that are referenced in the certificate of compliance, relate to the use and maintenance of the packaging, and identify necessary actions to be taken prior to the delivery of licensed material to a carrier for transport shall be present.Contractors and suppliers are selected on the basis of references, past performance to MURR, reputation and other investigation. Appropriate credentials, and licenses if required by law, code or regulation, will be furnished and retained on file. No deviations from procurement documents are allowed without written request by the vendor and approval by the Associate Director of the MURR Regulatory Assurance Group (RAG) or his designated representative.
