RT-100 Safety Analysis Report, Rev. 10 Docket No. 71-9365                                                                      June 20, 2023
: 1. GENERAL INFORMATION ROBATEL Technologies, LLC (RT) submits this Application and Safety Analysis Report (SAR),
Revision 10, to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to amend and renew the Certificate of Compliance (CoC) No. 9365, Revision No. 2 for the Model RT-100 Type B(U) Cask Package (RT-100).
This application is intended to meet the NRC regulation 10 CFR Part 71, and the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) regulation SOR/2000-208, and was prepared following the guidance of NUREG 1886. The RT-100 package and the SAR meet the more stringent of the two codes.
Chapter 1 of the SAR provides General Information that feeds information to later sections in this application according to Figure 1-1 on the following page. The RT-100 meets the following general requirements for all packages:
o The smallest overall dimension of the RT-100 is not less than 10 cm (4 in.).
o The outside of the RT-100 incorporates a feature that, while intact, is evidence that the package has not been opened by unauthorized persons.
1.1 Introduction The purpose of this application is to request the amendment of the CoC for the Model No. RT-100 type B(U) cask to allow for the transport of activated hardware or activated metal (terms used interchangeably) contents packaged in a secondary container in addition to contaminated spent resins and filters as specified on the current CoC. Moreover, this license amendment is to provide the flexibility to ship contaminated spent resins/filters and activated hardware of varying activities by limiting the wastes mass.
This application does not request the packaging and/or transport of fissile material in quantities exceeding those exempted from consideration in accordance with 10 CFR 71.15 [Ref. 2] and thus, the Criticality Safety Index (CSI) is non-applicable.

The maximum (empty) weight of the RT-100 including impact limiters is 34,696 kg.
1.2.1.3 Containment Features The containment vessel of the RT-100 cask consists of the inner shell, the bottom forging, the top flange, the primary lid, the primary lid inner O-ring, the stainless steel vent port cover plate and its inner O-ring, the secondary lid and the secondary lid inner O-ring. The containment system prevents leakage of radioactive material from the cask cavity and allows pre-shipment leakage testing of the assembled cask configuration.
1.2.1.4 Neutron and Gamma Shielding Features The RT-100 is not designed to carry fissile material or neutron sources (except typical small quantities consistent with contaminated resins and filters as discussed in Chapter 5) and thus, provision of neutron shielding is not required for the RT-100.
In regards to gamma shielding, the RT-100 cask walls provide a shield thickness of 90 mm of lead and 70 mm of stainless steel including the thermal shield plate of 5 mm thickness (65 mm used for HAC analysis). The cask bottom end provides a shield thickness of 75 mm of lead and 80 mm of stainless steel. The top end provides a shield thickness of 210 mm of stainless steel for the primary lid and a shield thickness of 60 mm of lead and 110 mm of stainless steel for the secondary lid.
Contents are limited such that the radiological shielding provided assures compliance with U.S.
Department of Transportation (DOT) regulatory requirements.
1.2.1.5 Shielding Features for Personnel Barriers The RT-100 does not require the use of personnel barriers to meet 10 CFR 71 dose rate limits.
1.2.1.6 Criticality Control Features The RT-100 contents are activated hardware and spent resins and filters from commercial nuclear power plants that contain only trace quantities of fissile radionuclides. As such, the contents meet the requirements of 10 CFR 71.15 [Ref. 2] and are exempt from classification as fissile material.
As a result, the RT-100 does not require any criticality control features.
1.2.1.7 Structural Features - Lifting and Tie-Down Devices The RT-100 cask employs lifting devices that are a structural part of the package. Two lifting pockets are welded to the cylindrical cask body as shown in Drawing RT100 PE 1001-02, Rev. H (Chapter 1, Appendix 1.4, Attachment 1.4-3). The pockets engage the arms of a separate lifting yoke used to lift the package. When not in use for package lifting, the pockets are rendered inoperable so they cannot be inadvertently used as cask tie-downs. Removable lifting lugs are Robatel Technologies, LLC                                                                    Page 1-4

Refer to Chapter 2, Section 2.5.1 for a detailed analysis of the structural integrity of the lifting devices.
Two tie-down arms are welded to the external cask shell and are considered a structural part of the package. When not in use for package tie-down, the arms' holes are rendered inoperable preventing the tie-down arms from being used to lift the packaging. Refer to Chapter 2, Section 2.5.2 for a detailed analysis of the structural integrity of the tie-down arms.
1.2.1.8 Structural Features - Impact Limiters The impact limiters have an outside diameter of 2587 mm. The lower impact limiter extends 494 mm beyond the base of the cask. The upper impact limiter extends 498 mm beyond the cask primary lid. The impact limiter external shells are stainless-steel, allowing them to withstand large plastic deformation without fracturing. The volume inside the shell is filled with crushable shock-absorbing and thermal-insulating polyurethane foam. The polyurethane is preformed and inserted into the shell to the void space. The use of preformed foam ensures homogeneous density. Several different foam densities are used to customize the shock absorbing performance of the impact limiters during hypothetical accident conditions. The rationale for use of preformed foam blocks and the use of different foam densities is presented in detail in Chapter 2, Section 2.2.
The impact limiters are attached to the cask via two stainless-steel bolt ring flanges located on the exterior cask body. The flanges are welded along the cask circumference and considered a structural part of the package. Each impact limiter is equipped with twelve (12) M36 studs and attached to the bolt ring using twelve (12) M36 stainless steel hex head nuts. The purpose of the bolt rings and bolts are to ensure the impact limiters remain attached to the cask body for all Normal Conditions of Transport (NCT) and Hypothetical Accident Conditions (HAC) events.
Additionally, use of bolt rings facilitates removal of the impact limiters during loading and unloading operations.
1.2.1.9 Structural Features - Internal Supporting or Positioning Features The RT-100 cask interior has no supporting or positioning features. The waste contents shall be pre-packaged in liners and placed into the cask cavity. Waste liners may require appropriate shoring to prevent movement during transit. It is the responsibility of the shipper to provide shoring that meets DOT requirements.
1.2.1.10 Structural Features - Outer Shell or Outer Packaging The external surface of the cylindrical cask body is comprised of a 35 mm thick stainless-steel outer shell.

1.2.2.1 Identification and Maximum Quantity of Radioactive Material The contents of the RT-100 cask are limited to activated hardware and contaminated resins and filters containing byproduct or otherwise radioactive nuclear material.
The maximum quantity of material is defined as a Type B quantity of radioactive materials not to exceed 3000 A2. The activity of beta, gamma and neutron emitting radionuclides will not exceed the limits established in the shielding evaluation provided in Chapter 5 and using the procedure presented in Chapter 7.
1.2.2.2 Identification and Maximum Quantity of Fissile Material The RT-100 will not transport fissile material exceeding the quantities exempt in 10 CFR 71.15
[Ref. 2]. Thus, Section 1.2.2.2 is non-applicable.
1.2.2.3 Physical and Chemical Form - Density, Moisture Content and Moderators The type/form of material is defined as byproduct, source, or special nuclear material in the form of resins, filters, activated low-density hardware, activated high-density hardware, and mixtures of resins, filters, low-density hardware, and high-density hardware contained within a secondary container. The chemical forms of the contents are resins and filter media containing radioactive materials and metallic activated hardware segments in the form of dispersible solids. There are no contents in powdered form. The resin and filter contents may include the metal housings associated with the media.
1.2.2.3.1 Ion-Exchange Resins Single or mixed bed ion exchange resins are used in deep bed filter demineralizers for reduction of particulate matter and dissolved contaminants in utility power plant condensates. Radioactive waste systems in nuclear power plants include ion exchange systems for the removal of trace quantities of radioactive nuclides from water that will be released to the environment. The primary resin system used is the mixed bed.
Conventional ion exchange resins consist of a cross-linked polymer matrix with a relatively uniform distribution of ion-active sites throughout the structure. Ion exchange resin materials are sold as spheres or sometimes granules with a specific size and uniformity to meet the needs of a particular application. Ion exchange resins can contain up to 66% water when delivered from the manufacturer. This is essentially the same moisture content within the resin when delivered for disposal. The majority are prepared in spherical (bead) form, either as conventional resin with a polydispersed particle size distribution from about 0.3 mm to 1.2 mm (50-16 mesh) or as uniform particle sized (UPS) resin with all beads in a narrow particle size range. In the water swollen state, ion exchange resins typically show a specific gravity of 1.1-1.5.

RT-100 Safety Analysis Report, Rev. 10 Docket No. 71-9365                                                                        June 20, 2023 column includes a normal 35-40 percent voids volume for a spherical conventional resin product.
Bulk densities in the range of 560-960 g/l (35-60 lb/ft3) are typical for wet resinous products [Ref.
7].
The contents are limited by the maximum overall weight limit of 6,804 kg as described in Section 1.2.1.2. The radioactive inventory of the contents are limited as a function of the activity concentration as described in Chapter 5.
1.2.2.3.2 Filters Filters packaged in the secondary liner are designed for use in a nuclear power plants pure water chemistry; therefore, the housings are a non-corrosive and non-reactive material. Filter housings may be stainless steel or a thermoplastic such as polyethylene or polypropylene. They are designed to filter radioactive material from the water, and thus are acceptable for use in a radiation environment. The filter housings do not interact with the secondary container and therefore do not interact with the RT-100 metal cavity.
1.2.2.3.3 Activated Hardware Activated hardware contents include low-density hardware, such as aluminum and zircoloy and high-density hardware, such as steel and Inconel. Low-density hardware is limited to hardware with a density greater than or equal to 2 g/cm3 and less than 7.5 g/cm3. High density hardware is limited to hardware with a density greater than or equal to 7.5 g/cm3 and less than or equal to 9.0 g/cm3. Common examples of activated hardware that could be shipped in the RT-100 Cask include but are not limited to fuel channels, velocity limiters, and reactor vessel internals from PWRs and BWRs.
1.2.2.3.4 Secondary Containers Secondary containers may be constructed of carbon steel or stainless steel, or a thermoplastic such as polyethylene or polypropylene. The secondary containers are used to package contaminated spent resins/filters, activated low-density hardware, activated high-density hardware, or a mixture of spent resins/filters with activated hardware generated by nuclear power plants. There is a long history of transporting resins and filters via typical polyethylene or metal liners in metal casks by the nuclear power industry and other low-level waste generators. Secondary containers are required to be passively vented within the cask cavity during shipment. The RT-100 stainless steel inner cavity does not interact with polyethylene or metal liners typically used in the nuclear industry for the shipment of resins and filters. Secondary containers may be positioned or braced within the cavity using shoring. This shoring may be constructed of carbon steel or stainless steel, wood, or a thermoplastic material or any combination thereof.
1.2.2.4 Location and Configuration The contents shall be packaged in secondary containers. Except for close fitting contents, shoring Robatel Technologies, LLC                                                                    Page 1-8

Providing appropriate shoring is the responsibility of the shipper.
1.2.2.5 Use of Non-Fissile Materials as Neutron Absorbers/Moderators The RT-100 does not contain non-fissile materials as neutron absorbers/moderators.
1.2.2.6 Chemical/Galvanic/Gas Generation Chemical Reaction and Galvanic Reactions The contents do not include materials that may cause any significant chemical, galvanic, or other reaction.
Gas Generation Secondary packages containing water and/or organic substances may generate combustible gases via radioanalytical reactions. A maximum molar quantity of 5% hydrogen by volume at standard temperature and pressure is allowed. The time duration is calculated as twice the expected shipment time.
Determination of hydrogen generation is made using the methods in NUREG/CR-6673 [Ref. 5],
Hydrogen Generation in TRU Waste Transportation Packages, and supplemented with data from EPRI NP-5977 [Ref. 6], Radwaste Radiolytic Gas Generation Literature Review. NUREG/CR-6673 provides equations that allow prediction of the hydrogen concentration as a function of time for simple nested enclosures and for packages containing multiple contents packaged within multiple nested confinement layers. The inputs to these equations include the bounding effective G(H2)-value for the contents, the G(H2)-values for the packaging material(s), the void volume in the containment vessel and in the confinement layers (when applicable), the temperature when the package was sealed, the temperature of the package during transport, and the contents decay heat.
EPRI NP-5799 provides G-Values for a wide range of ion exchange resins [Ref. 6].
For any package delivered to a carrier for transport, the secondary container is prepared for shipment in the same manner in which the determination for gas generation is made. Shipment period begins when the package is prepared (sealed) and is completed within a time period that is one half the time used in the hydrogen generation calculation. It is the shippers responsibility to ensure that hydrogen generation in the cavity will be below 5% by volume, representing the lower flammability limit for hydrogen. The maximum allowable shipping time is not restricted for any other reason. Detailed discussion of the hydrogen generation calculations are provided in Chapter 4, Section 4.4, and Chapter 7, Section 7.5.
Secondary packages with radioactive contents less than Low Specific Activity (LSA) and shipped within 10 days of preparation (or within 10 days of venting the secondary container) do not require Robatel Technologies, LLC                                                                  Page 1-9

: 2. STRUCTURAL EVALUATION Chapter 2 describes the structural evaluation for the RT-100 under the RT Quality Assurance Program [Ref. 1] and summarizes the results to demonstrate compliance with the structural requirements of 10 CFR Part 71 [Ref. 2]. These evaluations follow nuclear industry standards
[Refs. 3 - 20]. Chapter 1 General Information and Chapter 3 Thermal Evaluation provide input to the Chapter 2 Structural Evaluation; furthermore, these three chapters feed information to later Chapters of the SAR as demonstrated in Figure 2-1 on the following page.
The RT-100 structural performance under 10 CFR Part 71 [Ref. 2] Normal Conditions of Transport (NCT) and Hypothetical Accident Conditions (HAC) significantly affects the package ability to meet the thermal, containment, shielding and subcriticality requirements. Consequently, results from the structural evaluation are used in the thermal, containment, and shielding evaluations (Note: criticality issues are not applicable to the RT-100).
The foremost structural requirement of the RT-100 is to withstand NCT and HAC loadings with sufficient structural integrity to maintain shielded containment. Evaluations in the following sections demonstrate the RT-100 package design satisfies these requirements. Before presenting these detailed evaluations, a general description of the RT-100 cask design is provided and includes complete specifications for the containment boundary.
2.1 Description of Structural Design Major design features that govern the structural performance of the RT-100 under NCT and HAC conditions are the impact limiters (upper and lower) and the cask body including the impact limiter attachment rings, bolting ring, primary and secondary lids, lifting pockets and tie- down arms.
These features are sufficiently designed so that the structural response of the RT-100 exceeds all 10 CFR 71 [Ref. 2] requirements.
Appendix 1.4 (Attachment 1.4-2 thru 1.4-8) shows the general assembly drawings of the RT-100 Cask Package. The major components are identified and include the impact limiters and cask body.
As subsequently discussed in Section 2.1.1.1, the package containment boundary is defined by the inner surfaces of the cask body, and the primary and secondary lids. Shielding is provided by the following features:
o Cask bottom and sidewall that contain 75 and 90 mm lead layers, respectively o 210 mm thick stainless steel primary lid o 170 mm (nominally) stainless steel secondary lid with embedded 60 mm thick lead layer Robatel Technologies, LLC                                                                  Page 2-1

RT-100 Safety Analysis Report, Rev. 10 Docket No. 71-9365                                                                      June 20, 2023 2.1.1 Discussion The RT-100 cask body is a cylindrical container with an outside diameter of 2060 mm and an overall height of 2321 mm (including lids). The sidewalls are nominally 165 mm thick, consist of a 90 mm thick lead layer encased by 30 mm thick internal and 35 mm thick external (ASTM A240, Type 304) stainless steel shells, have a 5 mm thick ceramic insulation layer, and have an outer 5 mm thick protective shell (ASTM A240, Type 304L stainless steel). The cask sidewall design varies from the above description in the following areas:
o  Regions of the cask body encompassed by the impact limiters o  Impact limiter attachment rings o  Lifting pocket locations o  Tie-down arm attachment pads.
The specific sidewall configuration at each of these locations is further described and fully considered in all subsequent evaluations.
The bottom end of the cask body consists of a 75 mm thick lead layer encased by a 50 mm thick (ASTM A240, Type 304L) stainless steel bottom forging on top, and a 30 mm thick external stainless steel bottom plate underneath. The bottom forging is connected to the inner shell with full penetration welds. The bottom plate is connected to the outer shell with a full penetration weld.
The top end of the cask body consists of an upper forging (ASTM A240, Type 304L), and two lids (primary and secondary, both ASTM A240, Type304L). The upper forging is connected to the inner shell with full penetration welds. The upper forging is connected to the cask outer shell with full penetration welds. Thirty-two (32) M48x2d threaded holes for securing the primary lid are equally spaced along the upper forging top surface. The upper forging top surface also provides a seating surface for the primary lid seals. The primary lid is nominally 210 mm thick.
The primary lid has thirty-two (32) clearance holes near its outer periphery for the M48 bolts (ASTM A354 Gr. BD or equivalent), which secure it to the bolting ring. These clearance holes are sufficiently counter-bored to preclude direct impact to the M48 bolts during a drop.
Additionally, the primary lid has a central 737 mm diameter through-hole with a 2016 mm OD x 82 mm deep counter-bore. The counter-bore surface has eighteen (18) M36x2d equally spaced threaded holes for securing the secondary lid and also provides a seating surface for the secondary lid seals. The secondary lid is nominally 170 mm thick with an embedded 60 mm thick lead layer.
The secondary lid has eighteen (18) clearance holes near its outer periphery for the M36 bolts (ASTM A354 Gr. BD or equivalent) used to attach it to the primary lid. The primary and secondary lids have one vent port each which allows for leakage monitoring.
The impact limiters are cylindrically-shaped components that surround the top and bottom ends of the cask as shown in Chapter 1, Figure 1.2.1-1. Each impact limiter has twelve (12) M36 studs.
The impact limiters are attached to the cask with these studs that pass through clearance holes in the top and bottom impact limiter attachment rings, and accept M36 stainless steel nuts. The impact limiters are comprised of segmented polyurethane foam blocks encased in relatively thin stainless Robatel Technologies, LLC                                                                  Page 2-3

The outer coverings are 4 mm thick except near the cask surface where the thickness is 10 mm. During NCT and HAC tests, the impact limiters are designed to protect the cask by absorbing energy and for providing thermal insulation.
2.1.1.1 Containment Boundary As shown in Chapter 4, Figure 4.1.2-1 (Illustration of Containment Boundary), the containment boundary of the RT-100 cask is defined by the following specific features of the cask body and the primary and secondary lid.
o  Bottom forging at the bottom end of the cask o  Inner shell that forms the wall of the cask with a full penetration weld o  Full penetration weld between the inner bottom forging and the inner shell bottom o  Top forging at the top of the cask o  Full penetration weld between the upper forging and inner shell top o  Primary lid and inner O-ring o  Vent port cover plate and inner O-ring o  Secondary lid and inner O-ring 2.1.2 Design Criteria The RT-100 design satisfies the NCT requirements of 10 CFR 71.71 [Ref. 2], and HAC requirements of 10 CFR 71.73 [Ref. 2]. Furthermore, the design complies with General Standards for All Packages as specified in 10 CFR 71.43 [Ref. 2], and the Lifting and Tie- Down Standards specified in 10 CFR 71.45 [Ref. 2]. These criteria are demonstrated in Sections 2.5.1 and 2.5.2.
The design criteria used in the qualification of the RT-100 were selected based on guidance provided in Regulatory Guide 7.6 [Ref. 4]. Regulatory Guide 7.6 provides design criteria based on the ASME B&PV Code, Section III [Ref.7], and is intended for Type B packages used to transport irradiated fuel assemblies. Therefore, allowable stresses values for NCT Service Level A Limits and HAC Service Level D Limits are conservatively adopted from Regulatory Guide 7.6
[Ref. 4] for the qualification of the RT-100 cask body.
Allowable stresses are derived from the Stress Intensity values appropriate to ASME B&PV Code, Section III, Subsection ND [Ref. 7]. Stress Intensity values based on Subsection ND are presented in Table 2.2.1-1.
The load combinations used in performing the structural evaluations of the RT-100 cask are in accordance with Regulatory Guide 7.8 [Ref. 3]. Load combinations for the RT-100 cask body analysis are summarized in Table 2.1.2-1.

          =            Min (0.42Su, 0.6Sy) at temperature and all other terms are as previously defined.
2.1.2.3 Lead The structural integrity of the RT-100 cask does not depend on lead strength and thus, no lead strength criteria are specified. Mechanical and thermal properties which are important to the RT-100 cask structural performance are discussed in Sections 2.2, 2.14, and 3.2 2.1.2.4 Foam Criteria of the polyurethane foam used in the impact limiters are provided in Appendix 2.12 Impact Limiter Evaluation.
2.1.3 Weights and Centers of Gravity The nominal RT-100 weights and centers of gravity are shown in Table 2.1.3-1. Refer to RT100 PE 1001-1 Rev. H - Robatel Transport Package RT-100 General Assembly Sheet 1/2 (Chapter 1, Appendix 1.4, Attachment 1.4-2) for identification of assemblies and centers of gravity data. These weights are utilized in the structural evaluation presented in this chapter.
With the exception of the impact limiter, all analyses are performed with no less than a minimum gross weight of 41,500 kg. The impact limiter calculation is performed using 41,000 kg. The reason for this is that the max crush is obtained by using the minimum density of the foam. The calculation package RTL-001-CALC-ST-0401 Rev. 6 [Ref. 40] calculates the maximum g-load using both 41,500 kg and 41,000 kg. It is shown that max g-load is obtained using a gross weight of 41,000 kg. Thus, the impact limiter calculation is performed using a gross weight of 41,000 kg.

Maximum.
: 2. A minimum weight of 41,000 kg was used in all structural evaluations.
: 3. Value determined using payload center of gravity at 10% of cask interior height below or above the cask interior geometric centerline.
As shown in Table 2.1.3-1, the center of gravity of the empty RT-100 cask is approximately 1650 mm above the bottom of the cask. This location is just 20 mm lower than the 1630 mm elevation of the center of the inner cavity. Further, the maximum payload weight is less than 17%
(= 6,805/40,845 x100%) of the loaded cask weight. Thus, payload weight and/or center of gravity variations will not result in large changes to the loaded RT-100 cask center of gravity. Indeed, locating the payload center of gravity within 10% of the cavity internal height above or below the cavity centerline elevation moves the loaded RT-100 cask center of gravity by no more than +/- 28 mm. Such minor variations are insignificant during either NCT or HAC.
2.1.4 Identification of Codes and Standards for Package Design Since the package is used to transport contents with 3,000 A2 (as defined in 10 CFR 71.4 [Ref. 2]),
the RT-100 cask is a Type B Category II package per Regulatory Guide 7.11 [Ref. 5]. The codes and standards used in the design of the RT-100 cask are selected based on guidance provided in Regulatory Guide 7.6 [Ref. 4 and NUREG/CR-3854 [Ref. 6] for packages transporting Category II contents.
Per NUREG/CR-3854 [Ref. 6], the package containment system is fabricated in accordance with the ASME Code, Section III, Subsection ND [Ref. 7], and the tie-downs are fabricated in accordance with Subsection NF [Ref. 8]. These codes are applicable to the RT-100 cask design as they were developed for components of similar material as well as, for similar loading operations and potential package failures.
Several regulatory guides and NUREGs are used to design and evaluate the RT-100 package.
Regulatory Guide 7.8 [Ref. 3] is used in identifying the load combinations to be used in package design evaluation. Regulatory Guide 7.6 [Ref. 4] is used to determine the design criteria.
NUREG/CR-4554 [Ref. 9] is used in evaluating buckling of the containment vessel. NUREG/CR-Robatel Technologies, LLC                                                                          Page 2-7

2.2 Materials Material properties used in the RT-100 cask structural analyses are shown in Tables 2.2.1-1, 2.2.1-2, and 2.2.1-3. Material properties for the structural analyses of the polyurethane foam used in the impact limiter evaluations are provided in Appendix 2.12. Properties of both cask materials and foam used in the thermal analyses are provided in Section 3.2.1.
2.2.1 Material Properties and Specifications Structural components of the cask body are specified to be ASME A240 Type 304/304L steel, with the exception of the tie-down straps, which are ASME A240 UNS No. S31803 (Type 318) stainless steel. The primary and secondary lids are ASME A240 Type 304/304L steel, and the M36 and M48 bolts used to secure the lids are fabricated to meet the critical characteristics given in Chapter 8. These materials meet the requirements of ASME Section III, Subsection ND [Ref. 7].
Strength properties for these materials are presented in Table 2.2.1-1 using material information taken from ASME Section II-D [Ref. 31]. Table 2.2.1-2 provides density and Poissons ratio values also from ASME Section II-D.
The shielding is specified to be ASTM B-29 lead. The lead properties are provided in NUREG/CR-0481[Ref. 11] and are presented in Table 2.2.1-2.
EPDM (material designation per ASTM D1418) is used for all O-rings as part of the containment boundary. They serve as one of the boundaries for the cask. These O-rings have a usable temperature range going from -50&deg;C up to 150&deg;C; this temperature range meets or exceeds both NCT and HAC requirements.
RT verifies that all the materials of structural components have sufficient fracture toughness to preclude brittle fracture under NCT and HAC. Regulatory Guides 7.11 [Ref. 5] and 7.12 [Ref. 16]
are used to provide criteria for fracture toughness. RT shall procure all materials under the RT Quality Assurance Program [Ref. 1] with the specifications for each material. Regulatory Guides 7.11 and 7.12 do not apply to the RT-100; use of Stainless Steel ASTM A-240 type 304, ASTM A-240 type 304L, and ASTM A-240 UNS S31803 precludes brittle fracture under both NCT and HAC.
RT verifies that all material properties are appropriate for the load conditions specified in Regulatory Guide 7.6 [Ref. 4] and temperatures at which allowable stress limits are defined are consistent with minimum and maximum service temperatures. Allowable stresses based on Regulatory Guide 7.6 [Ref. 4] at the bounding NCT temperature of 100&deg;C are provided in Table 2.2.1-3. Allowable stress intensities at other temperatures considered to be the bounding condition for a specific case are defined as needed in the section where that analysis is presented.
RT verifies that all the force-deformation properties for impact limiters are based on appropriate test conditions and temperature. Test parameters for qualifying the foam material are identified in Chapter 2, Appendix 2.13.

All phases of operation, loading, unloading, handling, storage, and transportation, are considered (in conjunction with the procedures described in Chapter 7) for the environments that may be encountered under normal, off-normal, or accident conditions. Based on the evaluation, there are no potential reactions that could adversely affect the overall integrity of the cask or the structural integrity and retrievability of the contents from the cask. The evaluation conforms to the guidelines of NRC Bulletin 96-04, Chemical, Galvanic, or Other Reactions in spent Fuel Storage and Transportation Casks, dated July 5, 1996 [Ref. 52], and demonstrates that the RT-100 cask meets the requirements of 10 CFR 71.43(d) [Ref. 2].
2.2.2.1 Component Material Categories The component materials evaluated are categorized based on similarity of physical and chemical properties and/or on similarity of component functions. The categories of materials that are considered are as follows:

RT-100 Safety Analysis Report, Rev. 10 Docket No. 71-9365                                                                        June 20, 2023 o Stainless/nickel alloy steels o Nonferrous metals o Shielding materials o Criticality control materials o Energy absorbing materials o Cellular foams and insulations o Lubricants and greases o O-rings o Secondary Containers and Shoring o Filters These categories are evaluated based on the environment to which they could be exposed during operation or use of the RT-100.
The RT-100 component materials are not reactive among themselves, with the casks contents, nor with the casks operating environments during any phase of normal, or accident condition loading, unloading, handling, storage or transportation operations. No reactions occur, and no gases or other corrosion byproducts are generated.
2.2.2.1.1 Stainless/Nickel Alloy Steels No reaction of the cask components (stainless or nickel alloy) is expected in any environment.
During the fabrication process of the RT-100 ridges and crevices on the external surfaces are reduced through the finishing process and the external surface is passivated to prevent corrosion.
Galvanic corrosion between the stainless steels and nickel alloy steels does not occur due to the lack of effective electrochemical potential difference between these metals. No coatings are applied to the stainless steel or nickel alloy steels.
There is no potential for a reaction between stainless steel and any silicone products, fluorocarbon elastomers, dry film lubricants, blended polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), or ethylene glycol.
Based on the foregoing discussion, there are no potential reactions expected with the stainless steel cask components.
2.2.2.1.2 Nonferrous Metals There are no nonferrous metals used in the RT-100. Therefore, no electrochemical driving potential exists.
2.2.2.1.3 Shielding Materials The primary shielding materials used in the RT-100 is lead which is completely enclosed and sealed in stainless steel. Therefore, there are no potential reactions associated with the cask shielding materials.

Therefore, no potential reactions associated with these materials exist.
2.2.2.1.5 Energy Absorbing Material The RT-100 utilizes polyurethane foam for energy absorption in the impact limiters. The foam is completely enclosed (sealed) in stainless steel and there are no potential reactions between the foam and the stainless steel shells. The foam is cured, cut, and machined prior to installation. During fabrication the machined foam blocks are inserted into the impact limiter stainless steel shell.
During the welding process backing strips, high temperature heat tape, and rock wool are used to protect the foam. Therefore, no potential reactions associated with the energy absorbing material exists.
2.2.2.1.6 Cellular Foam and Insulation The RT-100 does not utilize cellular foam or insulation. Therefore, no potential reactions associated with the cellular foam or insulation exists.
2.2.2.1.7 Lubricant and Grease The dry film lubricants used with the RT-100 meet the performance and general compositional requirements of the nuclear power industry. These lubricants are used primarily on threaded/mechanical connection surfaces. These lubricants are insoluble in most solutions. There are no potential reactions associated with these lubricants or grease.
2.2.2.1.8 O-Rings The RT-100 utilizes seals formed from EPDM. EPDM is a synthetic rubber elastomer. Elastomer O-rings are used for transport cask applications because of their excellent short-term sealing capabilities, ease of handling, and more economical cost. Seal and gasket materials have stable, non-reactive compositions. There are no potential reactions associated with the RT-100 seal materials.
2.2.2.1.9 Secondary Containers and Shoring Secondary containers and shoring features may be constructed of carbon steel, stainless steel, wood, or a thermoplastic such as polyethylene or polypropylene.
2.2.2.1.10 Filters Filters shipped for disposal may be constructed from stainless steel or thermoplastic such as polyethylene or polypropylene.
2.2.2.2 General Effects of Identified Reactions No significant potential galvanic or other reactions have been identified for the RT-100. Therefore, no adverse conditions can result during any phase of cask operations for NCT or HAC.

RT-100 Safety Analysis Report, Rev. 10 Docket No. 71-9365                                                                        June 20, 2023 2.2.2.3 Adequacy of the Cask Operating Procedures Based on the results of this evaluation, it is concluded that the RT-100 operating controls and procedures presented in Chapter 7 are adequate to minimize occurrence of hazardous conditions.
2.2.2.4 Effects of Reaction Products No significant potential chemical, galvanic, or other reactions are identified for the RT-100.
Therefore, the overall integrity of the cask and the structural integrity and retrievability of the contents are not adversely affected for any cask operations throughout the design basis life of the cask. Based on the evaluation, no significant reactions are identified and thus, there is no change in cask properties, no binding of mechanical surface, and no degradation of any safety components either directly or indirectly.
2.2.3 Effects of Radiation on Materials Gamma radiation has no significant effect on metal and therefore, the radiation produced by the contained radioactivity does not cause any measurable damage to the cask metallic components (stainless steel, carbon steel and lead).
For seals, the absorbed dose in a year is expected to be below 350 rad which is significantly below the polymer damage threshold of 1x105 rad. Additional support information about EPDM resistance to radiation up to 5x108 rads while retaining reasonable flexibility and strength, hardness and very good compression set resistance is provided by an IEEE paper [Ref. 54].
For the ceramic thermal shield, the absorbed dose is expected to be below 350 rad. However, ceramic materials are insensitive to gamma radiation damage and thus, the ceramic thermal shield is expected to be unaffected by radiation.
2.3 Fabrication and Examination The following subsections provide a summary description of fabrication and examination of the RT-100. A more detailed description is provided in subsequent sections of the SAR.
2.3.1 Fabrication The RT-100 packaging is designed as a category II container, as mentioned in Section 2.1.4.
Fabrication and procurement of the containment components is based on ASME B&PV code, section III, Subsection ND [Ref. 7]. The other components (non-containment) are fabricated based on ASME B&PV code, Section III, subsection NF [Ref.8]. See Sections 2.1.2 and 2.1.4 for additional information.
2.3.2 Examination Examination of the RT-100 during and after fabrication is conducted in accordance with the requirements of the ASME B&PV code, Section III, Subsection ND-5000 [Ref. 7]. The non-containment components examination is conducted in accordance with the requirements of ASME B&PV Code, Section III, Subsection ND-5000 or NF5000 [Ref. 8]. See Chapter 8, Sections 8.1 and 8.2 for additional information.

RT-100 Safety Analysis Report, Rev. 10 Docket No. 71-9365                                                                        June 20, 2023 2.4 General Requirements for All Packages The RT-100 meets or exceeds all the requirements in 10 CFR 71.43 [Ref 2]. Also, the RT-100 meets the general package requirements Regulatory Guide 7.9 [Ref. 49] as listed below:
o Smallest overall dimension is greater than 10 cm (4 in).
o Outside of the cask incorporates a feature, such as a seal, that is not readily breakable and that, while intact, would be evidence that the package has not been opened by unauthorized persons.
o Cask includes a containment system closed by a positive fastening device that cannot be opened unintentionally or by a pressure that may arise within the package.
The following sections describe compliance of the RT-100 with these requirements.
2.4.1 Minimum Package Size This section is not applicable since the RT-100 has dimensions larger than 10 cm (4 inches). The smallest overall dimension of the cask body is the outer diameter, which is over 200 cm.
2.4.2 Tamper-Indicating Feature The RT-100 upper impact limiter covers the upper end of the cask including the primary and secondary lids, which prevents access to the cask lids. Therefore, tamper-indicating devices are attached to the impact limiter aligning pin. Impact limiters are installed on the cask body following the lid closure operation. Once the impact limiters are installed on the cask body, the attachment nuts are threaded on the attaching studs and hand-tightened (drop testing has shown that torquing of the attachment bolts is not necessary). A tamper-indicating seal is installed on the aligning pin of the upper impact limiter to ensure that removal of the impact limiter by unauthorized individuals can be detected.
2.4.3 Positive Closure The RT-100 design includes a containment system that is bounded by the inner shell, primary lid, secondary lid, and vent port cover plate. Each lid and the cover plate are secured to the cask body by multiple bolts. These bolts are tightened during the loading process to a set torque value that cannot be inadvertently loosened. Additionally, the stress analysis of the bolts presented in Section 2.6.7 demonstrates that the bolts can maintain positive closure during operation.
2.5 Lifting and Tie-Down Standards for All Packages The RT-100 lifting and tie-down components are evaluated structurally in the following sections.
The lifting and tie-down requirements are as specified in 10 CFR 71.45 [Ref. 2].
2.5.1 Lifting Devices The primary lifting device for the RT-100 is the set of two lifting pockets that are welded to the outer shell of the cask. After removal of the impact limiters, the lifting pockets are designed to allow the loaded cask to be lifted using a lifting yoke. The primary and secondary lids and the upper/lower impact limiters are fitted with threaded bolt holes; these bolt holes provide for attachment of lifting rings that are used in lifting each component.

The lifting devices are also designed so that any failure of the lifting device under excessive load would not impair the ability of the RT-100 to meet other requirements of 10 CFR 71.45 [Ref. 2]. The design weights used in the lifting evaluation are as follows:
o  Fully loaded RT-100 with maximum contents and the lower impact limiter is 41,500 kg o  Primary lid with secondary lid in place is 4,505 kg o  Secondary lid is 857 kg o  Upper impact limiter is 2,541 kg o  Lower impact limiter is 2,448 kg 2.5.1.2 Lifting Device Descriptions In this section, the following RT-100 components are evaluated for lifting:
o  Lifting Pockets o  Primary Lid o  Secondary Lid o  Lower Impact Limiter o  Upper Impact Limiter The lifting pockets are utilized to lift the assembled cask; the bounding configuration is the cask loaded with the maximum payload weight and the lower impact limiter attached. Additionally, the primary and secondary lids and the upper and lower impact limiters are evaluated for lifts using removable lifting rings.
2.5.1.3 Lifting Device Evaluations In the following sections, each device used for lifting is evaluated for stress. The details of each evaluation are presented including the worst-case stress results and safety factors. Additional details supporting these calculations are provided in Calculation Package RTL-001-CALC-ST-0201, Rev. 5 [Ref. 33].
2.5.1.3.1 Cask Body Lifting Evaluation The cask is lifted by using the two lifting pockets that are welded to the cask exterior sidewall on opposite sides of the cask body. The assembled and loaded cask is lifted with the upper impact limiter removed to accommodate the connection between the lift yoke and the lifting pockets. The cask lifting load is the total weight of the fully assembled cask, including the payload, but with the upper impact limiter load removed. The upper impact limiter is lifted separately. The lifting pockets are evaluated for the tear-out stress, bearing stress, and weld stress due to the required lifting activities. The lifting pockets are also evaluated for pure shear stress as described in ASME Section III Subsection NF [Ref. 8].

RT-100 Safety Analysis Report, Rev. 10 Docket No. 71-9365                                                                          June 20, 2023 A Dynamic Load Factor (DLF) of 1.35 is applied to the lift forces that act on the cask components during movement. ANSI N14.6 [Ref. 56] requires additional safety features for handling of critical loads. One option identified is to apply increased stress design factors on the load-bearing members; however, the standard does not recommend a value for the stress design factor. The German Nuclear Safety Standards Commission provides standard KTA-3905 for lifting loads in nuclear power plants. [Ref. 57] This standard requires a live load factor of 1.35 for dead weight lifts. This calculation uses the KTA-3905 live load factor value as the dynamic load factor. The dynamic load factor is applied to all load bearing members.
2.5.1.3.1.1 Lifting Pocket Design Features The lifting pockets are manufactured from blocks of ASTM A240 Dual Certified Type 304/304L stainless steel that are welded to opposite sides of the outer shell of the cask body, also manufactured from ASTM A240 Type 304/304L stainless steel. The weld material is SA-279 Grade ER308 UNS S30880. The welds extend down both sides and along the bottom of the lifting pockets, forming a U shape. The lifting pockets have a cutout that allows the lifting yoke to pass downward and through the lifting pocket. The connection is completed with a rectangular shaped retaining pin that is inserted through cutouts in both the lifting pocket and the lifting yoke.
Figure 2.5.1-1 provides the configuration and dimensions of the lifting pockets and shows the cutouts for the lifting yoke and retaining pin. The design loads and material strengths of the lifting pocket base metal and weld materials are as follows:

Figure 2.5.1-1    RT-100 Lifting Pocket Dimensions 2.5.1.3.1.2 Lifting Pocket Tear-out Stresses The lifting pockets are used for lifting the assembled and loaded cask body, without the upper impact limiter, and are rendered inoperable by removing the lifting attachment from the lifting pocket during transport. The lifting pockets are considered to be a structural part of the package with respect to lifting and shall be designed for the factor of safety against yielding and ultimate stresses. A lifting yoke is used to lift the assembled cask body and to ensure that the lifting straps or cables remain parallel to the body of the cask during lifting operations. The tear-out stresses for the lifting pocket retaining pin hole are as follows:

Based on the safety factors for the lifting pocket, yielding controls the weld evaluation. The stresses and allowables are determined as described in Design of Welded Structures [Ref. 25] and Calculation Package RTL-001-CALC-ST-0201, Rev. 5 [Ref. 33]
Conservatively, the upper section of the pocket is considered to take the full lifting load. The lifting pocket is seal welded to and bears upon the cask bolting ring. The lifting load is therefore shared between the lifting pocket weld and the bolting ring. Conservatively, the full load is considered to be taken by the lifting pocket weld only.

Based on the safety factors for the lifting pocket, yielding controls the weld evaluation. The welds on the lifting pockets are evaluated as a line force on the weld as described in Design of Welded Structures [Ref. 25] (Refer to pages 7.4-6 and 7, Tables 4 and 5). Since the cask is lifted using a yoke that maintains the force in a vertical direction, there are no bending or twisting loads, so the section Modulus and the polar moment of inertia are zero and can be ignored.

The lifting rings for the primary lid can only be used when the cask lid is separated from the cask body. The secondary cask lid is also removable, so the primary lid may be lifted with the secondary lid attached or separated from the primary lid.
Conservatively, the combined primary and secondary lid is used for the lifting evaluation. The primary lid design information is:

The primary lid is manufactured from ASTM A240 Type 304L SS material.
This material is weaker than the M20 lifting ring material (ASTM A-354 Gr. BD), so failure will occur at the root of the primary lid material threads. The minimum required thread engagement length that prevents primary lid material failure is:

Therefore, the factor of safety is:

The lifting rings are designed to remove the impact limiter from the cask body and not to lift the cask body while still attached. In the following sections, the impact limiter is evaluated for the working load limit in the lifting ring and the lifting ring thread engagement. The upper impact limiter design information is:

As such, it cannot be lifted while attached to the cask body. The lower impact limiter is evaluated for the bolt stresses and for minimum thread engagement in the lower impact limiter during lifting activities. The lower impact limiter design information is:

Since the constants in the equation assume U.S. customary units, the metric units used in this calculation are converted for determination of the required engagement length. The minimum required thread engagement length that prevents upper impact limiter material failure is:

                              =      = 39.5 = 1.90 > 1.0 Therefore, the lower impact limiter lifting ring configuration is acceptable for the required loads.
2.5.2 Tie-down Devices The RT-100 cask utilizes two sets of tie down arms, as shown in Chapter 7, Figure 7.4.4-1. These tie-down arms are welded to two different tie-down plates that in turn are welded to the outer shell of the cask body. Each set of arms on opposite sides of the cask are designed to cross over and securely position the cask, and to absorb the latitudinal, longitudinal and vertical forces required by 10 CFR 71.45 [Ref. 2]. The tie-down arms and plates are a structural part of the package, and must withstand the following loads without impairing the safety of the cask:
o Two (2) times the loaded weight of the cask in the vertical direction o Ten (10) times the loaded weight of the cask in the direction of travel o Five (5) times the loaded weight of the cask transverse to the direction of travel These loads are considered to act simultaneously on the cask and the tie-down arms.
The lifting pockets on the cask body are the only other parts of the cask that could possibly be used to tie down the cask. As such, these pockets are rendered inoperable for tie-down during transport by ensuring that the lift yoke retaining pins are installed in place prior to transport.
2.5.2.1 Tie-down Load Calculation The maximum forces applicable in each of the three loading directions are calculated in this section.
This calculation is accomplished by using the mass of the fully loaded cask along with the gravitational acceleration and the vertical, longitudinal and lateral factors specified in 10 CFR 71.45
[Ref. 2]. The loaded weight of the cask is specified in Chapter 1, Section 1.2.1.2.
Gravitational Acceleration:          g = 9.81 m/s2 Cask Mass:                            Mc = 34696 kg Payload Mass:                        Mp = 7060 kg Total Mass:                          M = Mc + Mp = 34696 kg, assume 42000 kg Total Weight:                        W = Mg = 412.02 kN Vertical Acceleration                dv = 2 Robatel Technologies, LLC                                                                    Page 2-28

Figure 2.5.2-1 and Figure 2.5.2-2 illustrate the details of the tie-down system geometry. Shear stops are utilized to convert some of the cask loads into turning moments that are restricted by the tie-down arms. As shown on drawing RT PE 1001-1 Rev. F - Robatel Transport Package RT-100 General Assembly Sheet 1/2 (Chapter 1, Appendix 1.4, Attachment 1.4-2), the tie-down arms have slightly different angles in the front and rear of the casks. These differences are summarized in Table 2.5.2-1. The horizontal angles from the cask body to each arm varies from 40o and 44o on one end of the cask and 37o and 41o on the other.

The evaluation is bounded by analyzing the high average angle (42o) caused by longitudinal forces on the tie-down arms on the rear of the cask, and the low average angle (32o) caused by longitudinal forces on the tie-down arms on the front of the cask. The shear stop forces at the bottom of the package are represented by the orthogonal components of a single force vector, S, making an angle of  with the global yaxis. The stresses in the members are determined by considering the component loads (10W, 5W, and 2W) individually and superimposing the results. The geometry of the arms has a slight asymmetry so that the tie downs can cross one another; this slight asymmetry is ignored and average dimensions are used for calculation purposes. A detailed force analysis is conducted using the dimensions and notations shown in the figures; other terms are defined below:
W: weight of cask, kN Tx: tensile force in member 2 and 3 resulting from 5W load, kN Ty: tensile force in member 1 and 2 resulting from 10W load, kN Tz: tensile force in each member resulting from 2W load, kN T1,2,3,4: total tensile force in subscripted member, kN Fx: total force in the x direction resulting from 5W load, kN Robatel Technologies, LLC                                                                    Page 2-29

and are developed via summing the moments about the center of gravity. A summary of the values calculated using Figure 2.5.2-1 and Figure 2.5.2-2 are provided in Table 2.5.2-2. The maximum calculated forces using these values is provided in Table 2.5.2-3. The results show that the front arms with the lower horizontal angle are subjected to the greater forces. The evaluation of the longitudinal loads on the two front tie-down arms bounds the evaluation of all other load conditions on the cask. The tension calculations and safety margin evaluations contained in the following sections focuses on the front tie-down arms.

This load is applied to the tie-down arm design to ensure that stresses are within allowable limits. As show in the drawings presented in (Chapter 1, Appendix 1.4, Attachments 1.4-2 through 1.4-8) the tie-down arm is reinforced in the portion containing the attachment hole. This reinforcement ensures that the loads in this area of reduced cross-section can be transmitted safely into the rest of the tie-down arm. Stresses for the tie-down arm and its connection to the exterior cask shell are calculated as follows:
Arm Tension Stress at Hole Arm Cross-Sectional Area at Hole, Anet = 11,450 mm2 Arm Tension Stress, net = Tmax / Anet = 298.74 MPa Stress Allowable, allow = 437.2 MPa (@50&deg;C per Table 2.2.1-1)

2.5.2.4 Tie-down Arm & Plate Weld Evaluation The stresses in the welds attaching the tie-down arms to the tie-down plates and the plates to the cask body are found by applying the loads from the attachment arms to the weld around the perimeter of the plates. The maximum load on the tie-down arm welds are the sum of the loads in two connecting arms. Thus, from inspection of Figure 2.5.2-2, the maximum tie-down arm load is calculated as follows:
Tie-down Arm Weld Force, Ftotal = 2Tx + Ty +2Tz = 5269.76 kN Weld axial load            Fx = Ftotal x (b / L) = 3564.43 kN Weld vertical load        Fy = Ftotal x (c / L) = 2594.96 kN Weld transverse load      Fz = Ftotal x (a / L) = 2886.42 kN Arm tensile strength:      437.2 MPa Cask tensile strength:    199.3 MPa Weld tensile strength:    450 MPa, weld between tie-down arm and plate [Ref. 34]
420 MPa, weld between tie-down plate and cask [Ref. 34]
The weld length, b, is 1583.36 mm, the weld height d for the tie- down arm plate is the 260 mm height of the arm, and weld height d for the weld between tie- down plate and cask body is 388.03 mm (Calculation Package RTL-001-CALC-ST-0202 Rev. 4 [Ref. 34]). These dimensions and loads are used in the following weld stress calculations.

The smallest factor of safety is 1.16 against tie-down arm tension. Under excessive loading, the failure of the tie-down system occurs by yielding in the tie-down arm. This failure does not impair the packages ability to meet other regulatory requirements since the tie-down arms are welded to a plate that is in-turn welded to the cask body. Damage to the tie-down arm does not damage any component integral to the cask body and therefore, does not compromise the cask body shell.
2.6 Normal Conditions of Transport This Section describes the RT-100 evaluation for the normal conditions of transport specified in 10 CFR 71.71[Ref. 2]. The requirements of 10 CFR 71.71 state that the RT-100 shall be structurally adequate for the following normal conditions of transport:
o  Heat o  Cold o  Reduced external pressure o  Increased external pressure Robatel Technologies, LLC                                                                  Page 2-35

During the free drop analyses, the cask impact orientation evaluated is the orientation that inflicts the maximum damage to the cask. Also, the requirements of 10 CFR 71.71 [Ref. 2] specify that the evaluation of the RT-100 for the normal conditions of transport be evaluated at the most unfavorable ambient temperature in the range from -29C to +38C. The normal conditions of transport evaluations presented in this section show that the package satisfies the applicable performance requirements specified in the 10 CFR 71.71 [Ref. 2]. The scale drop testing and analytical analyses demonstrate that there is no decrease in the RT-100 Cask Package effectiveness as follows:
o No loss or dispersal of contents o No structural changes reducing the effectiveness of components required for shielding, for heat transfer, or for maintaining subcriticality or containment o No changes to the package affecting its ability to withstand HAC.
The normal conditions evaluations described in the following sections are performed in accordance with the design criteria and load combinations as identified in Section 2.1.2. Each of the following subsections addresses each normal conditions requirement.
2.6.1 Heat The RT-100 cask body and closure lids are analyzed for structural adequacy in accordance with the thermal evaluation of the RT-100 for the temperatures specified in 10 CFR 71.71(c)(1) [Ref. 2] is presented in Chapter 3. The thermal evaluation demonstrates that the cask component temperatures are maintained within their safe operating ranges for all normal conditions of transport. The following subsections discuss the structural evaluation of the RT-100 using the appropriate component temperatures as determined in Chapter 3.
2.6.1.1 Summary of Pressures and Temperatures The pressures and temperatures occurring in the RT-100 as a result of the 10 CFR 71 [Ref. 2]
normal conditions of transport thermal conditions are an important consideration for the structural evaluations presented in this chapter. The internal pressure induces stresses on the containment system; the temperatures affect the selection of temperature-dependent material properties as well as, the internal pressures that occur as a result of the ambient temperatures and solar insolation specified in 10 CFR 71.71 [Ref.2]. The material properties utilized are based on the maximum calculate temperatures of each component or higher temperatures which are conservative. For all NCT structural analyses and finite element analyses, a minimum normal operating pressure of 35 psig is uniformly applied to the interior of the inner shell [Ref. 35, Section A.4.]. Note that a reference to the assumed minimum normal operating pressure may appear in psia unit in various sections of the SAR.

RT-100 Safety Analysis Report, Rev. 10 Docket No. 71-9365                                                                      June 20, 2023 The maximum normal operating pressure evaluation for the RT-100 is presented in Chapter, 3 Section 3.3.2. As described in this section, the calculated maximum pressure for normal conditions is 182.71 kPa (26.5 psia). For conservatism, the structural evaluations involving internal pressure use a maximum normal operating condition pressure of 342.7 kPa (49.7 psia).
The maximum component temperatures in the RT-100 for normal conditions are presented in Chapter 3, Table 3.1.3-1 RT-100 Maximum Normal Condition Temperature Summary (Found in Chapter 3). The temperatures are utilized to determine the stress allowables used in the structural evaluation for the normal conditions of transport.
2.6.1.2 Differential Thermal Expansion As shown in Chapter 3, Table 3.1.3-1, the temperatures of the components of the cask differ by only a few degrees under normal conditions of transport thermal ambient conditions. This difference is due in part to the relatively low decay heat of the contents. The RT-100 is evaluated for differential thermal expansion as described in Section 2.6.7 in combination with normal pressure and inertial loads under the following conditions:
o  Ambient temperature, 38&deg;C o  Initial temperature, 38&deg;C o  Heat transfer to ambient by natural convection, still air o  Heat transfer to ambient by radiation o  Steady-state solar insolation o  Internal heat load as a uniform heat flux, 13.04 W/m2 2.6.1.3 Stress Calculations Regulatory Guide 7.6 [Ref. 4] requires that the range of primary plus secondary stress intensities during normal conditions of transport be less than 3.0 Sm. To evaluate this condition, the range of primary plus secondary stresses for the combined normal events (including heat, cold, normal operating pressure, 0.3-m end drop, and 0.3-m side drop conditions) are analyzed using the finite element model presented in 2.6.7.2.
2.6.1.4 Comparison with Allowable Stresses The combined stress results are presented in Tables 2.6.7-1 and 2.6.7-2. Since the margins of safety are all positive, the RT-100, therefore, satisfies the requirements of 10 CFR 71.71(c)(1) [Ref. 2] for the heat (normal transport) condition.
2.6.2 Cold The RT-100 cask body and closure lids are analyzed for structural adequacy in accordance with the thermal evaluation of the RT-100 for the temperatures specified in 10 CFR 71.71(c)(2) [Ref. 2] is presented in Chapter 3. The thermal evaluation demonstrates that the RT-100 component temperatures are maintained within their safe operating ranges for all normal conditions of transport. Using the same methodology presented in Section 2.6.1, the RT-100 is evaluated for cold conditions. The following thermal case is used to calculate the thermal stress under cold conditions:

RT-100 Safety Analysis Report, Rev. 10 Docket No. 71-9365                                                                      June 20, 2023 o  Initial temperature, -40&deg;C o  Heat transfer to ambient by natural convection, still air o  Heat transfer to ambient by radiation o  No solar insolation, in shade o  Internal heat load as a uniform heat flux, 13.04 W/m2 The combined stress results are presented in Tables 2.6.7-1 and 2.6.7-2. Since the margins of safety are all positive, the RT-100, therefore, satisfies the requirements of 10 CFR 71.71(c)(2) [Ref. 2] for the cold (normal transport) condition.
2.6.3 Reduced External Pressure The drop in atmospheric pressure to 24 kPa (3.5 psia), as specified in 10 CFR 71.71(c)(3) [Ref. 2],
effectively results in an additional internal pressure in the cask of 77 kPa (11.2 psig). This additional pressure has a negligible effect on the RT-100 because, in Section 2.6.1.1, the cask is analyzed for a normal transport conditions internal pressure of 241 kPa (35 psig). Maximum internal pressure is included in combination with internal loads (see Tables 2.6.7-1 and 2.6.7-2).
Since the margins of safety are all positive, the RT-100 satisfies the requirements of 10 CFR 71.71(c)(3) for reduced external pressure.
2.6.4 Increased External Pressure An increased external pressure of 20 psia (5.3 psig external pressure), as specified in 10 CFR 71.71(c)(4) [Ref. 2], has a negligible effect on the RT-100 because of the thick outer shell and end closures of the cask. Section 2.6.7 addresses many different loading cases which exceed these prescribed external pressure requirements. Therefore, the requirements of 10 CFR 71.71(c)(4)
[Ref. 4] are satisfied.
2.6.5 Vibration 10 CFR 71.71 (c)(5) [Ref.4] requires that vibration normally incident to transport be evaluated.
The RT-100 package consists of think section materials that are unaffected by vibration normally incident to transport, such as over the road vibrations.
2.6.5.1 Vibration Evaluation of the RT-100 Cask Primary Lid Bolts The RT-100 may be subjected to a cycle range typically associated with high-cycle fatigue (> 108 cycles). Therefore, the endurance limit of the material for the high cycle fatigue can be approximated by using a 60% reduction, rh, of the ultimate tensile strength (AISC [Ref. 26]) with an additional 10% reduction rg, for the connection surface (Machinerys Handbook [Ref. 27]).
Thus the endurance limit for the material is:
Sa =      (1  rh ) (1  rg ) Sub where:
Sub =    Bolt Ultimate Stress
                        =  1030 MPa          (ASTM A354 Grade B, Table 2.2.1-3)

The maximum shock loading coefficient for the three orthogonal directions is specified as 2.9 (NUREG-0128 [Ref. 30]). The RT-100 primary lid is subjected to shock loading during transport.
The primary lid closure bolts are shown to withstand a 125g impact load (Section 2.13.3.3), which is much larger than the 2.9W shock loading during transport. Therefore, the primary lid closure bolts are acceptable for shock loading by comparison.
2.6.5.2 Vibration Evaluation of the RT-100 Cask Secondary Lid Bolts Per Section 2.6.5.1, the components of the package are in the high-cycle fatigue range (> 108 cycles).
The endurance limit of the material for the high cycle fatigue for the secondary lid bolts is the same as for the primary lid bolts. The RT-100 lid is subjected to vibration in the vertical direction. A notch factor, fN, of 3.0 is used and is conservative (AISC [Ref. 26]). The vibration stress in the bolts is:

The maximum shock loading coefficient for the three orthogonal directions is specified as 2.9 (NUREG-0128 [Ref. 30]). The cask primary lid is subjected to shock loading during transport.
The secondary lid closure bolts have been show to withstand a 125g impact load (Section 2.12.4.1),
which is much larger than the 2.9W shock loading during transport. Therefore, the secondary lid closure bolts are acceptable for shock loading by comparison.
The RT-100 satisfies the requirements for normal vibration incident to transport as required by 10 CFR 71.71(c)(5) [Ref. 2].
2.6.6 Water Spray Water causes negligible corrosion of the stainless shell of the RT-100. The cask contents are protected in the sealed cavity. A water spray as specified in 10 CFR 71.71(c)(6) [Ref. 2] has no adverse impact on the package. The cask surface temperature specified during the water spray is between 38C and -29C. Consequently, the induced thermal stress in the cask components is less than the thermal stresses that occur during the extreme temperature conditions for normal transport.
Therefore, the requirements of 10 CFR 71.71(c)(6) [Ref. 2] are satisfied.
2.6.7 Free Drop The RT-100 is shown to meet the free drop requirements of 10 CFR 71.71 [Ref. 2] through a combination of classic calculations, finite element analyses and scale model drop testing (RTL-001-CALC-ST-0402, Rev. 4 [Ref. 35]). The evaluations include the qualification of the RT-100 cover bolt design for the combined effects of free drop impact force, internal pressures, thermal stress, O-ring compression force, and bolt preload following the methodology of NUREG/CR-6007
[Ref. 10] (Appendix 2.13). The combined effects of inertial loads, internal pressures, and thermal stress are considered for packaging components.
2.6.7.1 Methodology The RT-100 is designed in accordance with Regulatory Guide 7.6 [Ref. 4]. The design criteria for NCT and HAC are presented in Table 2.1.2-2. Load combinations for the structural analysis of shipping casks for radioactive materials are defined by Regulatory Guide 7.8 [Ref. 3]. The load combinations for all normal and accident conditions and corresponding ASME service levels are shown in Table 2.1.2-1. Material properties used in this evaluation are presented in Section 2.2.1.
Stress intensities caused by pressure, thermal expansion, and mechanical loads are combined before comparing to ASME, Section III, Subsection ND [Ref.7] stress allowables, which are listed in Table 2.2.1-3.
2.6.7.2 Finite Element Analysis The finite element code ANSYS [Ref. 28] is used to generate a three-dimensional model of the RT-100 and to determine its response to normal conditions of transport (NCT) and hypothetical accident conditions (HAC) (Section 2.7.1). Specifically, a one-half (180&deg;) 3D model of the RT-100 inner and outer shells, outer and inner lids, bottom plate and lead shields is constructed using ANSYS [Ref. 28] solid elements. The interaction between components is modeled using gap elements. Stability of the model is assured by using weak springs. Boundary conditions are applied Robatel Technologies, LLC                                                                Page 2-41

RT-100 Safety Analysis Report, Rev. 10 Docket No. 71-9365                                                                        June 20, 2023 to the model simulating the loading conditions the cask will experience during normal and accident transport conditions. Pressure loads are applied to the cask inner shell to simulate bounding contents loads and internal pressurization. Thermal stresses are calculated using input temperatures from the NCT thermal analyses. Bolt preloads are applied to represent the bolt torque at the time the cask is readied for shipment. Post-processing is accomplished by linearizing the stress across locations where maximum stresses are calculated. The analyses assume linear elastic behavior of the cask. Therefore, calculated stress intensities are compared to appropriate allowables (Table 2.2.1-1) and the margin of safety is calculated.
2.6.7.2.1 Model Description Finite element analysis methods are used to perform the stress evaluation of the RT-100 for normal and accident free drop conditions. Each drop condition is analyzed using a three- dimensional finite element model using the computational modeling software ANSYS [Ref. 28]. Figure 2.6.7-1 shows the major components of the RT-100 represented in the model including the inner and outer shells, flange, bottom plate, primary and secondary lids, and closure bolts.
As shown in Figure 2.6.7-1, the model (which corresponds to half (180&deg;) of the cask body) is generated by de-featuring the SolidWorks solid model used to develop the manufacturing drawings and exporting the model to a .STEP file format. The .STEP file is imported directly into ANSYS [Ref.28] where the finite element model is developed following the guidance presented in ISG-21 [Ref. 53]. The resulting finite element model of the cask body is represented using solid elements, contact elements, mass elements and spring/damper elements (Figure 2.6.7-2).
The solid portion of the model is constructed using ANSYS solid (SOLID185) elements. Surface-to-surface contact elements are used to simulate the interaction between adjacent components.
Specifically, contact between the cask shells and lead shielding are modeled using CONTAC174/TARGE170 surface-to-surface contact elements with zero friction, which allows the lead to float between the inner and outer shells. Contact elements are also used to bond dissimilarly meshed components. To simulate the impact limiters, the interaction between the cask body and impact limiters is modeled using CONTAC52 gap elements (Figure 2.6.7-3), which acts as a compression only element. The size of the CONTAC52 gaps is determined from nominal dimensions between the impact limiter and cask body. Spring elements (COMBIN14) are inserted automatically during the solution to help stabilize the model. ANSYS [Ref. 28] assigns low spring stiffness so their presence does not adversely affect the accuracy of the solution.
Finite element model verification and mesh density study are presented in Appendix A.4 of Calculation Package RTL-001-CALC-ST-0402, Rev. 4 [Ref. 35]. During the development of the finite element model each part and interface was considered on an individual basis. The RT-100 outer shell was meshed using the sweep method and the element size was varied until there was a sufficient number of elements across the shell thickness. The element ratio was reviewed to ensure adequate results. To test a component, in this case the outer shell, the ends were fixed and a pressure load was applied to the inner surface and a solution was obtained. If a singularity or discontinuity was noted, the mesh was refined until uniform results were obtained. As a second check, a hand calculation was performed on to ensure that the stress calculated by ANSYS [Ref. 28] is giving expected results. Hoop stresses were also calculated and compared to the results. As the model was developed the same philosophy was applied to the intersection of the shell and bottom plate.

The choice of element type was evaluated by running a series of sensitivity studies. For this case, a high order 8-node brick element was chosen over brick element with mid-side nodes. This choice was made because of the relatively thin section of the RT-100 shell versus the length, which made it possible to increase the total number of elements without compromising the run time performance. Several cases were run to vary the total mesh density to see how the stress results varied versus performance of the model. In the extreme case, an overly dense mesh produced excessively long run times and un-converged solutions. Models with low mesh densities that were too low resulted in unrealistic stress results. After numerous runs a balance was found between consistent results and model performance with variations in stress results of less than 1% when comparing high mesh densities to adequate mesh densities. Therefore, it was concluded that the cask model was a quality model and met the intent of ISG-21 [Ref. 53].
At the time the analyses were performed, analyses were generally compared to models previously generated for other 10 CFR 71 [Ref. 2] cask designs. The results of the RT-100 cask analysis are consistent with these previous designs and where peak stress are expected. Additionally, confirmatory scale model testing of the RT-100 demonstrated that the methods used to calculate the cask accelerations and impact limiter deformation are consistent with the drop test results.
Therefore, the inertial loads applied to the cask body are conservative.

RT-100 Safety Analysis Report, Rev. 10 Docket No. 71-9365                                                                      June 20, 2023 2.6.7.2.2 Boundary Conditions Boundary conditions are applied to the model to simulate the loading conditions the RT-100 experiences during NCT and HAC. The five categories of cask loading considered in the free drop event are closure lid bolt preload, internal pressure load, thermal load, inertial body load and displacement.
o Closure Lid Bolt Preload: The required total bolt preloads on the cask outer and inner lid bolts are 130.6 kN and 72.2 kN, respectively (10). To apply the bolt preload ANSYS
[Ref. 28] pre-tension elements (PRETS179) are used to define the 3-D pre-tension section within the meshed bolt. The PRETS179 element uses a single translation degree of freedom to define pretension direction (Figure 2.6.7-4). The pretension Section is modeled by a set of pretension elements defined by the bolt shaft.
o Pressure Loading: A pressure of 241 kPa (35 psig) is used to envelope the maximum normal operating pressure for all impact loadings considered (Calculation Package RTL-001-CALC-TH-0102, Rev. 6 [Ref, 42]). For accident conditions, a pressure value of 588 kPa (85.3 psig) is used to represent the pressure experienced during fire conditions (Calculation Package RTL-001-CALC-TH-0202, Rev. 6 [Ref. 43]). The internal pressure load is applied as an equivalent static pressure load uniformly applied on the interior surface of the cask.
o Pressure loading contentscask end drop: For the end drop analyses, the content weight is assumed to be uniformly distributed on the cask end and over an area determined by the inside diameter of the RT-100. Therefore, one-half the contents weight of 6,804 kg (15,000 lb) is applied to the cask inner shell bottom plate. The contents pressure load is multiplied by the appropriate g-load to accurately represent the 304.8 mm (1-foot) and 9144 mm (30-foot) end drop. The pressure value is conservatively multiplied by 1.05 to account for the difference between the solid model surface and the tessellated area of the element mesh.
o Pressure loading contentsside drop: For the side drop condition, the contact area between the contents and the cask cavity is approximately 180&deg; (90&deg; on each side of the drop centerline). The inertial load produced by the 6,804 kg (15,000 lb) contents weight is represented as an equivalent static pressure applied on the interior surface of the RT-100. The pressure is uniformly distributed along the cavity length and is varied in the circumferential direction as a cosine distribution. The pressure value is conservatively multiplied by 1.05 to account for the difference between the solid model surface and the tessellated area of the element mesh. The maximum pressure occurs at the impact centerline; the pressure decreases to zero at locations that are 90 either side of the impact centerline, as illustrated in Figure 2.6.7-5. The following formula is used to determine the contents pressures for the side drop analyses, which vary around the circumference.

RT-100 Safety Analysis Report, Rev. 10 Docket No. 71-9365                                                                        June 20, 2023 This method uses a summation scheme to approximate the integration of the cosine-shaped pressure distribution:
P 18 F total    =          max A i cos (i ) cos (i )
i =1 F total    =    6,804/2 kg Where Pmax      =    maximum pressure (at impact centerline) i        =    average angle of subtended arc of ith element measured from centerline at point of impact to obtain vertical component of pressure i          = ith circumferential sector i        = normalized angle to peak at 0o and to be zero at 90o Ai        = ith circumferential area over which the pressure is applied Gap elements are defined at both ends of the cask to simulate the pressure applied by the impact limiters during side drop conditions. This is accomplished by defining the gap stiffness as a cosine function from a maximum value 175 x 106 N/m (1 x 106 1b/in) at the center line to 15.3 x 106 N/m (87,156 1b/in) at 85o from the center line of impact, and a minimal value 175 x 10 3 N/m (100 1b/in) from 90o to 180o. The load distribution that results from the crushing of the impact limiter is shown in Figure 2.6.7-3.
o Thermal: Four bounding load cases are analyzed to evaluate the RT-100 for the range of temperature and solar insolation conditions specified in 10 CFR 71.71 [Ref. 2] for normal conditions that bound the load combinations presented in Regulatory Guide 7.8
[Ref. 3]. To determine the worst-case conditions, an additional study run evaluates extreme cold (-40&deg;C) without internal heat load. The cases that result in the worst-case thermal expansion are as follow:
Condition 1 - Hot Case 1:
: a. Ambient temperature, 38oC
: b. Initial temperature, 38oC
: c. Heat transfer to ambient by natural convection, still air
: d. Heat transfer to ambient by radiation
: e. Steady-state Solar insolation
: f. Internal heat load as a uniform heat flux, 13.04 W/m2 Condition 2 - Hot Case 2:

: e. No solar insolation
: f. Internal heat load as a uniform heat flux, 13.04 W/m2 Heat Conditions 1 and 3 bound the differential the worst case thermal expansion between dissimilar materials. Therefore, Heat Conditions 2 and 4 are not considered.
The cask temperature distributions calculated for Conditions 1 and 3 are used as inputs to the ANSYS [Ref. 28] analyses. The ANSYS analyses determine the stresses arising from the thermal expansion of the cask from its initial 21&deg;C condition, including the effects of the differential thermal growth within the components; these effects are a result of the temperature difference across the cask walls. The cask temperature distributions are also used to determine the values of the temperature-dependent material properties.
The temperatures for the structural analysis are obtained from the results file and database file of the thermal analysis by writing the results to an ASCII file using the ANSYS BFINT command.
Nodes for the structural model are transferred to the same coordinate system as used by the thermal run and the thermal results are interpolated for each thermal condition.
o Inertial body load: The inertial effects, which occur during impact, are represented by equivalent static forces, in accordance with the D'Alembert's principle. The inertial body load includes the weight of the empty cask and the weight of the cavity contents.
Accelerations are calculated in Appendix 2.13. An acceleration of 44g and 52g are applied to the model to simulate end drop and side drop conditions, respectively. The inertial load is applied to the cask body using the ANSYS ACEL command equivalent to the normal and accident conditions accelerations corresponding to the 0.3 meter and Robatel Technologies, LLC                                                                    Page 2-49

Since the lead shield is attached to the steel shells with frictionless contact elements, the lead represents the largest physical load applied to the cask structure.
o Displacement boundary conditions: Displacement boundary conditions are applied to enforce symmetry at the cut boundary of the 3D model. All nodes on the symmetry plane are fixed in the UZ direction. The overall model is stabilized by the gap elements (CONTAC52) that represent the impact limiter, which are connected to the cask body with the outer nodes or ground nodes representing the impact limiter fixed.

RT-100 Safety Analysis Report, Rev. 10 Docket No. 71-9365                                                                    June 20, 2023 2.6.7.3 Side Drop In accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 71.71 [Ref. 2], the RT-100 is structurally evaluated for the normal condition of transport 0.3 meter side-drop. During the 0.3 meter side-drop event, the cask (equipped with an impact limiter over each end) falls a distance of 0.3 meter onto a flat, unyielding, horizontal surface. The cask strikes the surface in a horizontal position, thereby resulting in a side impact of the cask. The types of loading involved in a side-drop event are lid closure bolt preload, internal pressure load, thermal load, and inertial body load.
Stress results for the 0.3 meter side drop combined loading conditions discussed previously are documented in Table 2.6.7-1. The table documents the primary membrane (Pm), primary membrane plus primary bending (Pm+Pb), primary membrane plus primary bending plus secondary peak stress (Pm+Pb+Q) in accordance with the criteria presented in Regulatory Guide 7.6 [Ref. 4].
As shown in Table 2.6.7-1, the margins of safety are positive when compared to the stress intensity for each category. The most critically stressed component in the system is the inner lid. The minimum margin of safety is found to be +0.8 for primary membrane plus bending stress intensity.
The locations of the critical sections correspond to the maximum stress location shown in Figures 2.6.7.3-1 through 2.6.7.3-11. The minimum margin of safety for primary plus secondary stress intensity is +1.5.

In this event, the cask (equipped with an impact limiter over each end) falls a distance of 0.3 m onto a flat, unyielding, horizontal surface. The cask strikes the surface in a vertical position; consequently, an end impact on the bottom end or top end of the cask occurs.
As discussed previously, stress results for the 1-ft top and bottom-end drop combined loading conditions are documented in Table 2.6.7-2. The table documents the primary membrane (Pm),
primary membrane plus primary bending (Pm+Pb), primary membrane plus primary bending plus secondary peak stress (Pm+Pb+Q) in accordance with the criteria presented in Regulatory Guide 7.6
[Ref. 4].
As shown in the Table 2.6.7-2, the margins of safety for the primary stress intensity category are positive for all of the 0.3 m top-end drop conditions. The most critically stressed component in the system is the cask flange region due to the bending of the flange due to the inertial load imposed by the cask lids. The minimum margin of safety is found to be +2.4 for primary membrane plus bending stress intensity. The locations of the critical sections correspond to the maximum stress location shown in Figure 2.6.7-12 through Figure 2.6.7-17. The minimum margin of safety for primary plus secondary stress intensity is +0.2.

Also, the weight of the RT-100 exceeds 100 kg. According to 10 CFR 71.71(c)(8) [Ref. 2], the corner drop test is not applicable to the RT-100.
2.6.9 Compression According to 10 CFR 71.71(c)(9) [Ref. 2], the compression test is not applicable to the RT-100 because the package weight is greater than 5,000 kg.
2.6.10 Penetration According to 10 CFR 71.71(c)(10) [Ref. 2], a penetration test involving a 13-lb (6-kg) penetration cylinder dropped from a height of 1 m is required for evaluation of packages during normal conditions of transport. However, Regulatory Guide 7.8 [Ref. 3] states that the penetration test of 10 CFR 71.71 [Ref. 2] is not considered by the NRC staff to have structural significance for large shipping casks (except for unprotected valves and rupture disks) and is not considered as a general requirement. A penetration test is not performed since the RT-100 has no unprotected valves or rupture disks that could be affected by normal conditions of transport.
2.7 Hypothetical Accident Conditions The RT-100 Cask meets the standards specified in 10 CFR 71.51 [Ref. 2] when subjected to the conditions and tests specified in 10 CFR 71.73 [Ref. 2] for hypothetical accidents. In accordance with 10 CFR 71.73 [Ref. 2], the RT-100 is structurally evaluated for hypothetical accident scenarios of free drop, puncture, fire, crush, and water immersion. In the free-drop and puncture analyses, the cask impact orientation evaluated is the one that inflicts the maximum damage to the cask. The most unfavorable ambient temperature condition during operation in the range from -40&deg;C to 38&deg;C is assumed. The following sections contain the evaluation of the cask for structural integrity under the hypothetical accident conditions.
2.7.1 Free Drop The RT-100 Cask is required by 10 CFR 71.73(c)(1) [Ref. 2] to demonstrate structural adequacy for a free drop through a distance of 9 meters onto a flat, unyielding, horizontal surface. The cask payload is oriented to strike the surface to inflict the maximum damage. In determining the orientation that produces the maximum damage, the cask is evaluated for impact orientations in which the cask strikes the impact surface on its bottom end and side. Evaluation of each drop orientation is performed by using finite element analysis techniques. A complete description of the 3-D model used to analyze the cask body is presented in Section 2.6.7.2. The results of each drop orientation listed above are presented in this section. The impact limiters are evaluated in Appendix 2.12 for all loading conditions and orientations. These analyses provide the inertial loads (maximum g-loads) imparted to the cask for each drop orientation (Table 2.12.6-1). Cask body decelerations used in NCT and HAC finite element analyses are shown in Table 2.7.1-1.

For the accident condition, stresses arising from thermal expansion are not considered. However, for determination of properties, the temperatures are considered. The mean normal operating pressure of 241 (kPa) 35 psig is applied in the finite element models to produce the bounding critical stress condition in conjunction with the other loads previously discussed. A separate analysis evaluates the stresses associated with the accident pressure of 588 kPa (85.3 psig) that results from the regulatory fire event. Note that 85.3 psig accident pressure was employed as an equivalent static pressure load uniformly applied on the interior surface of the cask for HAC finite element structural analyses [Ref. 35, Section 7.2.2], this pressure may appear in psia unit in various sections of the SAR. Closure lid bolt preload is considered (Appendix 2.13 and Section 2.6.7.2.2) and fabrication stresses are discussed (Appendix 2.14). The following method and assumptions are adopted in all the hypothetical accident drop analyses:
The following sections contain the evaluation of the RT-100 for impact orientations in which the cask strikes the impact surface on its bottom end and side. The impact conditions (in accordance with Regulatory Guide 7.8 [Ref. 3] and the categories of load to be considered for the hypothetical accident conditions) are similar to those for the 0.3 meter free drops under normal conditions of transport as discussed in Section 2.6.7. Therefore, the discussions in the following sections refer to Section 2.6.7 wherever applicable.
Three categories of loadclosure lid bolt preload, internal pressure, and inertial body loadsare considered on the cask. The inertia loads imposed upon the cask by the impact limiter result from the mass of the entire assembly being acted upon by a design deceleration value of 123 g for the 30-ft end-drop case. The closure lid bolt preload, internal pressure load, and contents loads considered for the 30-ft end-drop condition are similar to those considered for 1-ft end-drop condition in Section 2.6.7.2, with the exception that thermal stresses are not considered for accident conditions.
The material properties of the components are considered to be temperature dependent.
The allowable stress limits criteria are discussed in Section 2.6.7.1. These criteria are used to determine the allowable stresses for each cask component, conservatively using the maximum operating temperature within a given component to determine the allowable stress throughout that component. For cask body analyses presented in this section, the maximum heat conditions (thermal condition 1) are 38&deg;C ambient temperature, maximum decay heat load, and maximum solar insolation.
During fabrication of the RT-100, thermal stresses can be introduced in the inner and outer shells as a result of pouring molten lead between them. Residual stresses may be induced in the inner shell (containment boundary) and the outer shell due to shrinkage of the lead shielding subsequent to lead pouring operations; however, these stresses are relieved early in the life of the cask because Robatel Technologies, LLC                                                                    Page 2-69

Therefore, the effects of stresses resulting from the cask fabrication processes are considered negligible. Further discussion of fabrication stresses is provided in Appendix 2.14.
2.7.1.1 End Drop In accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 71.73(c)(1) [Ref. 2], the RT-100 is structurally evaluated for the 30-foot end-drop condition. In this hypothetical accident, the cask including the payload, spacer (if appropriate), and the impact limiters falls 30 feet onto a flat, unyielding, horizontal surface. The cask strikes the surface in a vertical position and results in an end impact on the bottom of the cask. The types of loading involved in an end-drop accident are closure lid bolt preload, internal pressure, and inertial body load. Section 2.6.7.2 describes the application of each loading condition.
2.7.1.1.1 End Drop Evaluation In accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 71.73(c)(1) [Ref. 2], the RT-100 is structurally evaluated for the 30-foot end-drop condition. In this hypothetical accident, the cask including the payload and the impact limiters falls 30 feet onto a flat, unyielding, horizontal surface. The cask strikes the surface in a vertical upright position. For the RT-100 cask, the bottom end drop is bounding. In the bottom down position, the prying load on the closure bolts is maximized.
Stress results for the 9-meter bottom end drop combined are documented in Table 2.7.1-2. The table documents the primary membrane (Pm), primary membrane plus primary bending (Pm+Pb) stresses in accordance with the criteria presented in Regulatory Guide 7.6 [Ref. 4].
As shown in Table 2.7.1-2, the margins of safety when compared to the stress intensity for each category are positive. The most critically stressed component in the system is the flange; this result is due to bending as a result of the inertial loads on the cask lids. The minimum margin of safety is found to be +1.5 for primary membrane plus bending stress intensity. The locations of the critical sections correspond to the maximum stress location shown in Figure 2.7.1-1 through Figure 2.7.1-6.
2.7.1.1.2 Lead Slump Evaluation The following sections provide the lead slump evaluation of the RT-100. During an end drop accident, the shielding capability of the RT-100 cask may be reduced as a result of lead slump.
2.7.1.1.2.1 Elastic Deformation The maximum lead slump occurs during the previously analyzed bottom end drop in Section 2.7.1.1.1. The relative displacement is obtained from the finite element analysis. Figure 2.7.1-7 shows the exaggerated displacement plot under this drop orientation. The total elastic displacement of the lead column is 1.62 mm.
2.7.1.1.2.2 Plastic Deformation with Maximum Gap Maximum plastic deformation of the lead shield occurs when the package experiences extreme cold conditions prior to the end drop. During extreme cold conditions, the contraction of the lead shield forms a small gap at the top of the lead column. The reduced height of the lead shield due to contraction is:

For this evaluation, the interference fit between the cask inner shell and lead shield is ignored because during thermal contraction, the lead applies pressure to the steel inner shell. Since the yield strength of lead is low compared to the steel shell, the lead will conform to the shape of the inner shell. Therefore, the lead volume is not lost during the contraction process and the physical gap between lead and outer shell if any will be significantly less than the values predicted in this calculation.

Vf =      Af x hc = 1.0784x109 mm&#xb3;
: Where, Af    =  (ro&#xb2; - ri&#xb2;) = 5.293x105 mm&#xb2;      Cross-sectional area of lead shield ro    =  983.3 mm                          Outside radius of lead shield at -40&deg;C ri    =  893.6 mm                          Inner radius of lead shield at -40&deg;C hc    =  2037.4 mm                          Height of lead column at -40&deg;C The cross sectional area of the annulus between the inner and outer shells following exposure to extreme cold conditions (-40&deg;C) is:
Ai =      (ro&#xb2; - ri&#xb2;) = 5.3013x105 mm&#xb2;
: Where, ro =      984.1 mm                          Inside radius of steel outer shell at -40&deg;C ri =      894.3 mm                          Outside radius of steel inner shell -40&deg;C Lead Slump Accounting for the contraction of the steel shells and lead shield the reduced height of the lead column based on the net gap is:
hfinal =  Vf / Ai = 2034.2 mm Subtracting the reduced height of the lead column from the height of the annular region and ignoring the elastic deformation, the lead slump is:
hslump    =    hsteel - hfinal = 2039.0 - 2034.2 = 4.8 mm Robatel Technologies, LLC                                                                      Page 2-72

In this event, the cask including the payload and impact limiters falls 30 feet onto a flat, unyielding, horizontal surface. The package strikes the surface in a horizontal position resulting in a side impact. The types of loading involved in a side drop accident are closure lid bolt preload, internal pressure, and inertial body load.
As previously discussed, stress results for the 9-meter side drop combined loading conditions are documented in Table 2.7.1-3. The table documents the primary membrane (Pm), primary membrane plus primary bending (Pm+Pb), stresses in accordance with the criteria presented in Regulatory Guide 7.6 [Ref. 4].
As shown in Table 2.7.1-3, the margins of safety are positive when compared to the stress intensity for each category. The most critically stressed component in the system is the cask outer shell; this condition is due to ovalization of the cask body and the inertial load of the lead shield. The minimum margin of safety is found to be +0.2 for primary membrane plus bending stress intensity.
The locations of the critical sections correspond to the maximum stress location shown in Figure 2.7.1-8 through Figure 2.7.1-13.

Based on the impact limiter analysis provided in Appendix 2.12, Table 2.7.1-4 demonstrates that the end and side drop accelerations bound the CG over corner drop acceleration.

Once scaled, the resulting axial and lateral component stresses are summed and compared to the allowable stress intensity.
Stress results for the 9-meter corner drop combined loading conditions are documented in Table 2.7.1-5. The table documents the primary membrane (Pm), primary membrane plus primary bending (Pm+Pb) stresses in accordance with the criteria presented in Regulatory Guide 7.6
[Ref. 4].
As shown in Table 2.7.1-5, the margins of safety when compared to the stress intensity for each category are positive. The most critically stressed component in the system is the inner lid. The minimum margin of safety is found to be +1.0 for primary membrane plus bending stress intensity.

RT-100 Safety Analysis Report, Rev. 10 Docket No. 71-9365                                                                      June 20, 2023 2.7.1.4 Oblique Drops In accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 71.73(c)(1) [Ref. 2], the RT-100 is structurally evaluated for the hypothetical accident 30-foot oblique drop condition. Based on the following analysis, the cask velocities and stresses generated by an oblique-angle drop are bounded by those produced by the side drop. For a shallow angle drop, it is assumed that no energy is absorbed by the first impact limiter that contacts the impact surface, which causes all of the rotational inertia generated by the cask into the second impact limiter. The analysis is performed according to the following basic inertial equations in Standard Handbook for Mechanical Engineers, 7th Edition
[Ref. 51]
Assumptions:
o The rotational inertia of the cask is approximated by a solid cylinder o The cask does not slide along the impact surface o No gravitational acceleration is assumed to occur after initial contact of the cask with the impact surface The equation for the rotational inertia of a cylinder is:
1          l2 Icyl= Icyl = 4 xMx (r2 + 3 )
Where M = mass of cask r = radius of cask l = length of cask R = distance from CG to corner of impact limiter a = angle of the cask at impact For this configuration, the angular momentum of the cask before impact, L1, is represented by:
l L1= Mx1 x ( - tan (a)) x cos (a) 2 Where 1 = impact velocity After impact the angular momentum, L2, of the cask is:
L2= Iimp x2 2
Where Iimp= Icyl +MxR 2 = angular velocity of cask following impact Substituting the rotational inertia for a cylinder, Icyl:
r2  l2 Iimp= Mx ( +          +R2 )
4  12 Because no external moments are applied to the cask, angular momentum is conserved.

L1= L2 Substituting:

                                  +    + R2 4    12 The maximum angular velocity occurs when the impact angle equals zero. Therefore, the velocity of the secondary impact is:
s = l x 2 Substituting the angular velocity:
l
( - r x tan (a))x cos (a) s = l x 1 x      2 r2    l2
                                        +    + R2 4    12 The limiting case occurs when the secondary impact velocity equals the initial impact velocity.

l
              = 1.37 D
Where D = diameter of cask This evaluation shows that cask designs with a length-to-diameter ratio greater than 1.37 may result in oblique impact velocities greater than the side drop. However, the length of the RT-100 Robatel Technologies, LLC                                                                      Page 2-92

Therefore, impact velocities and resulting stresses in the RT-100 during the oblique drop event are less than those experienced during the side drop.
2.7.1.5 Summary of Results Structural analyses are performed for the RT-100 for hypothetical accident conditions free drop conditions. To evaluate the RT-100, 3D ANSYS [Ref. 28] is used to analyze the governing drop cases. All structural members have a positive margin of safety under worst case loading conditions.
It is concluded that the RT-100 is structurally adequate for the HAC free drop conditions.
Therefore, the requirements of 10 CFR 71.73(c)(1) [Ref. 2] have been satisfied.
2.7.2 Crush In accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 71.73(c)(2) [Ref. 2], the RT-100 is to be subjected to a dynamic crush test by evaluating the package on essentially unyielding horizontal surface so as to suffer maximum damage by the drop of a 500-kg mass from 9 m onto the package. The mass must consist of a solid mild steel plate 1 m x 1 m and must fall in a horizontal attitude. The crush test is required only when the specimen has a mass not greater than 500 kg, and overall density not greater than 1000 kg/m3 based on external dimension. The crush condition is not applicable since the RT-100 weighs more than 500 kg and overall density is greater than 1000 kg/m3.
2.7.3 Puncture In accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 71.73(c)(3) [Ref. 2] related to puncture (hypothetical accident condition), the RT-100 Cask is analyzed for structural adequacy (Calculation Package RTL-001-CALC-ST-0403 Rev. 4 [Ref. 36]). The cask is assumed to be in a horizontal position and dropped 1 m onto a 15 cm diameter, mild steel bar, oriented vertically on an unyielding surface. The structural evaluation of the RT-100 is performed by classical elastic analysis and finite element analysis methods.
2.7.3.1 Lid Puncture Finite element analysis methods are used to perform the stress evaluation of the RT-100 for the end puncture conditions. The end puncture is analyzed using a three-dimensional finite element model using the computational modeling software ANSYS [Ref. 28]. To simplify the pin puncture analysis, only the upper end of the cask is considered for this evaluation. Figure 2.7.3-1 shows the pin puncture model.
2.7.3.1.1 Lid Puncture Boundary Conditions The puncture load is applied to a 152 mm (6 in) diameter region which corresponds to a 152 mm diameter pin. The load is simulated with an evenly distributed pressure load equal to the dynamic flow stress of the pin; the dynamic flow stress is taken to be 324 MPa (47,000 psi). As discussed in the cask body analysis, the preload torque is included as an initial condition. In addition, the maximum normal operating pressure of 241 KPa (35 psig) is applied to the interior surface of the RT-100.
2.7.3.1.2 Lid Puncture Results Stress results for the 1-meter pin puncture combined loading conditions are documented in Table Robatel Technologies, LLC                                                                  Page 2-93

The table documents the primary membrane (Pm), primary membrane plus primary bending (Pm+Pb) stresses in accordance with the criteria presented in Regulatory Guide 7.6 [Ref. 4].
Stresses are linearized across critical sections to determine the membrane and bending stresses and subsequently, are compared with allowable stress intensities.
As shown in Table 2.7.3-1, the margins of safety are positive when compared to the stress intensity for each category. The most critically stressed component in the system is the flange; this condition is due to bending as a result of the pin puncture probe striking the center of the lid. The minimum margin of safety is found to be +0.2 for primary membrane plus bending stress intensity. The locations of critical section correspond to the maximum stress location are shown in Figure 2.7.3-2.

2.7.3.2.1 Cask Side Puncture Minimum Wall Thickness A series of pin puncture tests (performed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory) are used to develop an empirical equation to determine the stress in the outer wall of a multi-wall cask as a function of the mass of the cask and the thickness of the cask outer wall material. This equation (Nelm's equation
[Ref. 59]) applies to steel-lead-steel cask wall construction and is used to demonstrate pin puncture adequacy for casks with stainless steel walls; this equation has been the basis for the puncture analysis of several previously licensed casks. Solving Nelms equation [Ref. 59] for the RT-100 outer shell:
W 0.71 t    =    (S)      = 1.16 in (29mm) < 35 mm
: where, W =      92,594 lb (42,000 kg), maximum gross weight of the package S =      75,000 psi (517.1 MPa), ultimate tensile strength of the outer shell Nelms equation [Ref. 59] shows that the cask outer shell is sufficient to resist puncture.
2.7.3.2.2 Cask Sidewall Bending Stresses When the cask sidewall impacts the puncture pin, the bending force is:
Mxc b =            =  15.3 MPa I
Conservatively assuming the compressive and tensile stresses occur at the same location, the stress intensity is doubled to 30.6 MPa. Therefore, the factor of safety is:
517.1 FS =                =    15.7 > 1 30.6

2.7.3.3 Lead Deformation during Side Puncture Following the postulated side puncture of The RT-100, the cask may experience localized deformation in the outer shell. Behind this localized deformation a slight flattening may occur, and results in shielding loss. To quantify this loss, the local stiffness of the cask wall is determined to calculate the energy absorbed by the package. To calculate the total deformation of the lead shield, it is conservatively assumed that the available potential energy of the 1 meter puncture drop is converted to strain energy.
The maximum deformation occurs during postulated puncture event when the cask strikes the puncture probe approximately mid-span on the cask outer shell. Figure 2.7.3-3 shows the side puncture details. For the purposes of this evaluation, the cask is considered a closed cylinder subjected to a concentrated load at the mid-span. The deformation is obtained from Table 31, Case 9 of Roarks Formulas for Stress and Strain, 6th Edition [Ref. 29]. The deflection of the outer shell due to the applied load is:

Thermal expansion of the bolts is evaluated to ensure the containment boundary is maintained. Similarly, the cask body is evaluated for pressures associated with the fire accident; during the accident, the cask is assumed to be subjected to a fire that produces a surrounding environment of 800C for a period of 30 minutes. The thermal evaluation of the hypothetical fire transient is presented Section in 3.4.
2.7.4.1 Summary of Pressures and Temperatures Cask components temperatures under varying conditions are evaluated using the ANSYS finite element computer code [Ref. 28]. The cask cavity pressure is estimated based on the surface averaged temperature of the inner shell at the cavity side. The detail of the thermal analyses is documented in Chapter 3, Section 3.1. Table 3.1.3-1 presents the normal condition maximum temperature along with the maximum surface averaged temperature of inner shell surface at the cavity side. Chapter 3, Table 3.1.3-2 presents the maximum temperatures under hypothetical accident conditions along with the maximum surface averaged temperature of inner shell surface at the cavity side. The surface averaged temperature of the inner shell at the cavity side is used to predict the gas pressure inside the cask; Chapter 3, Table 3.1.4-1 summarizes the maximum NCT and HAC pressures.
2.7.4.2 Differential Thermal Expansion Per the guidance provided by Regulatory Guide 7.6 [Ref. 4] and ASME Section III Appendix F, stresses resulting from Service Level D (HAC) thermal expansion need not be evaluated. However, differential thermal expansion from exposure to the transient fire event is not of concern for the RT-100 cask components. All the structural materials for the cask body assembly are stainless steel that have the same thermal expansion coefficients, as shown in Table 2.2.1-1.
Proprietary Information Content Withheld Under 10 CFR 2.390(b)
For the RT-100 Cask, the closure bolts are the only components of concern during the fire accident that may experience thermal expansion. The bolting evaluation in Appendix 2.13 evaluates the effects of thermal expansion on the closure bolts.
2.7.4.3 Stress Calculations The following Section evaluates the stresses in the bolts and cask body during hypothetical accident conditions.

RT-100 Safety Analysis Report, Rev. 10 Docket No. 71-9365                                                                      June 20, 2023 2.7.4.3.1 Bolt stresses during fire accident The bolt stress evaluation is presented in Appendix 2.13. The evaluation shows that the bolt stresses are less than the allowables. Therefore, the bolts continue to provide a tight seal and containment is maintained.
2.7.4.3.2 Pressure stress during fire accident In accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 71.73(c)(4), the RT-100 Cask is structurally evaluated when subjected to an accident internal pressure of 689.4 kPa (100 psia). The pressure is based upon an average cask temperature of 73.1&deg;C. For conservatism, the stress intensity values are compared to allowable stress values at 150&deg;C. To obtain pressure stress results, a uniform internal pressure is applied to the ANSYS finite element model.
2.7.4.4 Comparison with Allowable Stresses The accident pressure stresses are presented in Table 2.7.4-1. The table documents the primary membrane (Pm), primary membrane and plus primary bending (Pm+Pb) stresses in accordance with the criteria presented in Regulatory Guide 7.6. As Table 2.7.4-1 shows, the margins of safety are positive when compared to the stress intensity for each category. The most critically stressed component in the system is the inner lid; this condition is due to prying load at the interface of the closure bolt and lid. The minimum margin of safety is found to be +6.4 for primary membrane plus bending stress intensity. The margins of safety are all positive and thus, the RT-100 satisfies the requirements of 10CFR71.73(c)(4) for thermal HAC.

RT-100 Safety Analysis Report, Rev. 10 Docket No. 71-9365                                                                        June 20, 2023 2.7.5 Immersion - Fissile Material This Section is not applicable. The RT-100 does not have any fissile material subject to the requirements of 10 CFR 71.55 [Ref. 2].
2.7.6 Immersion - All Package According to the requirements of 10 CFR 71.73(c)(6) [Ref.2], a package must be subjected to water pressure that is equivalent to: immersion under a head of water of at least 15 meters for a period of 8 hours. Also, 10 CFR 71.61 [Ref. 2] requires that a packages undamaged containment system be able to withstand an external water pressure of 2000 kPa for a period of not less than one hour without collapse, buckling or in-leakage of water. The outer lid is shown to be structurally adequate for a maximum external dynamic crush pressure of the top impact limiter. Therefore, the RT-100 satisfies all of the immersion requirements for a package that is used for the international shipment of radioactive materials.
2.7.7 Deep Water Immersion Test (for Type B Packages Containing More than 105 A2)
This Section is not applicable. The RT-100 is limited to a maximum of 3000 A2.
2.7.8 Summary of Damage The analytical results reported in Section 2.7.1 through 2.7.7 indicate that the damage incurred by the RT-100 during the hypothetical accident is minimal, and such damage does not diminish the cask ability to maintain the containment boundary. A 9-meter drop or a 1-meter pin puncture accident may damage the outer shell and result in a localized reduction in shielding ability.
However, the shielding remains intact to satisfy the accident shielding criteria. Based on the analyses of Section 2.7 through 2.7.7, the RT-100 fulfills the structural and shielding requirements of 10 CFR 71[Ref. 2] for all of the hypothetical accident conditions.
2.8 Accident Conditions for Air Transport of Plutonium This Section is not applicable. The RT-100 cask is not to be used to transport Plutonium by air transport.
2.9 Accident Conditions for Fissile Material Packages for Air Transport This Section is not applicable. The RT-100 is limited by 10 CFR 71 [Ref. 2] for quantities of fissile material. However, the RT-100 is not used to transport any fissile material by air transport.
2.10 Special Form This Section is not applicable. The RT-100 is not to be used to transport special form materials as specified in 10 CFR 71.75 [Ref. 2].
2.11 Fuel Rods This Section is not applicable. The RT-100 is not to be used to transport fuel rods.

RT-100 Safety Analysis Report, Rev. 10 Docket No. 71-9365                                                                          June 20, 2023 2.13 Appendix - Closure Bolt Evaluation The RT-100 package is designed with two sets of closure bolts: 18 M36 hex head bolts at the secondary lid and 32 M48 hex head bolts at the primary lid. These two sets of bolts are credited with maintaining positive closure of the package under all accident conditions. The purpose of this evaluation is to structurally qualify these bolts for the loadings associated with the normal conditions of transport and the hypothetical accident conditions.
2.13.1 Methodology Bolt loadings under the various normal and accident conditions are determined in accordance with the recommendations of NUREG/CR-6007 [Ref.10]. Stresses resulting from these loads are compared with the design criteria in Section 2.1.2.2. Note that in many cases, calculations are made using exact values, not the rounded numbers shown in intermediate steps. In certain situations, the numbers displayed may not be capable of providing the exact final solution. Using the exact numbers, however, provides the most accurate solution possible. Calculation Package RTL-001-CALC-ST-0203, Rev. 6 [Ref. 60] provides additional information.
2.13.2 Loads The following loads are evaluated in this section:
o  Internal pressure loads o  Temperature loads o  Bolt preload o  Impact loads o  Puncture loads o  External pressure loads o  Gasket seating load These loads are combined per NUREG/CR-6007 [Ref. 10] in Section 2.13.3.
2.13.2.1 Internal Pressure Loads Per Table 4.3 of NUREG/CR-6007 [Ref. 10], the forces and moments generated under the internal pressure load are a tensile load Fap, a shear load Fsp, a fixed edge closure force Ffp, and a fixed edge closure moment Mfp. These factors are evaluated for the primary and secondary lid bolts.
2.13.2.1.1 Internal Pressure Loads for Primary Lid Closure Bolts The tensile force per bolt due to internal pressure, Fap, is:

                                      =  65 mm (neglecting lead)
The remaining terms are as previously defined. However, this expression for shear force does not apply to the RT-100 cask design because the maximum gap between the lid and cask body (4 mm
= 1741 - 1737) per RT100 PE 1001-1 Rev. H, Detail 1, Chapter 1, Appendix 1.4, Attachment 1.4-

: 47) per RT100 PE 1001-1 Rev. H (Chapter1, Appendix 1.4, Attachment 1.4-2) and Machinerys Handbook [Ref. 27]). Thus, the RT-100 primary lid bolts are not subjected to any shear loads.
Additionally, tolerance stackup based on actual cask dimensions show a minimum clearance of 0.517 mm for the primary lid bolts. Furthermore, thermal expansion and contraction calculations demonstrated that bolt clearance is maintained during NCT and HAC conditions to prevent loading the primary lid bolts in shear.

Only the bolt diameter in the previous equation must be changed since the primary and secondary lids are constructed of the same materials and experience essentially the same temperature. As shown in the following calculations, the cold case is neglected since the tensile force per bolt is negative, and the hot case is considered in the analysis (+ve). The secondary bolt diameter is 36 mm. The tensile force per bolt due to temperature Fat is:

Fpl =
K L x Db where, Db      =        Nominal Bolt diameter
                                          =        36 mm T        =        Applied Torque
                                          =        350 N-m +/-10%
Other terms are as previously defined. The maximum preload Fpsmax for the secondary lid bolts is obtained by using a nut factor K of 0.15 (lubricated) and a tightening torque of 390 N-m (conservatively bounding the 350 N-m+10% maximum).

Using the NUREG terminology, the primary lid bolts are evaluated as closure bolts for an unprotected lid, and the secondary bolts are evaluated as components of a protected lid. This approach means the primary bolt evaluation includes the impact or inertial forces of the entire cask; the secondary lid bolts are evaluated only for the forces due to the inertia of the secondary lid.
2.13.2.4.1 Dynamic Load Factors Drop impact loadings are generally considered triangular or half-sine loadings; NUREG/CR-3966 [Ref. 17] presents dynamic load factor (DLF) charts for either pulse shape. For this analysis, results are compared and loading with the higher DLF is utilized.
Dynamic load factors for triangular and half sine loadings are shown in Figures 2.3 and Figure 2.15 of NUREG/CR-3966 [Ref. 17]. This information is presented as graphs where the DLF is the ordinate and td/T is the abscissa. The latter quantity td/T is the ratio of the impact duration td and the natural period of the impacting object T.
The period of the lids T is considered for bolt closure analyses. T is determined by the lids lowest mode frequency.

Thus, the value of td/T is 4.6 or more. With this value, the maximum DLF can be determined from Figures 2.3 and 2.15 (NUREG/CR-6007 [Ref. 10]) to be approaching unity. For consistency with the primary lid bolt analyses, the DLF for the secondary lid bolts is set conservatively to 1.15 for both NCT and HAC drops.

2.13.2.4.4 Corner Drop Evaluations The closure bolt evaluations for the corner drop impact are conducted very similarly to the end drop analyses in Section 2.13.2.1.3. The cask body acceleration is changed and the impact angle xi is set equal to 52.5&deg; (corresponding to a 37.5&deg; angle between cask axis and vertical line).
Additionally, an acceleration of 120 g is used in this analysis (which bounds the 116 g maximum reported in Section 2.12.4.1). Results are summarized in Table 2.13.2-1.

Therefore, no shear load is imparted to the bolts from the cask body. Since the side impact drop primarily generates shear loads with respect to the bolts, the primary and secondary closure lid bolts do not receive any significant loading from the side impact drop and are acceptable with respect to the end and corner impact drop.

                                  =    -64.2 The maximum gap between the lid and cask body is less than the minimum gap between the bolt clearance holes and bolt shank (see Section 2.13.2.1.3). Thus, the RT-100 secondary lid bolts are not subjected to any shear loads. Therefore, Fs = 0.0 kN/bolt.
2.13.2.7 Gasket Seating Load A small closure force is required to maintain a positive seal between the cask lid and the cask body.
However, this closure force is much less than the minimum preloads provided for the closure bolts at the primary and secondary lids. Therefore, the gasket seating load is negligible, and F = 0.
2.13.2.8 Vibration-induced Loads Although vibration-induced loads are not significant, they are considered during normal conditions of transport. The loads that are generated due to vibration are outlined in Table 4.8 of NUREG/CR-6007 [Ref. 10].

RT-100 Safety Analysis Report, Rev. 10 Docket No. 71-9365                                                                      June 20, 2023 The total tensile bolt force (Fa) is obtained by adding the combined non-prying tensile bolt forces (Fa_c) and the combined prying tensile bolt forces (Fap_c), according to the method presented in Table 4.9-III of NUREG/CR-6007 [Ref. 10].
Fa = Fa_c + Fap_c The non-prying tensile bolt forces are combined per Table 4.9-I of NUREG/CR-6007. The preload and temperature loads are summed together to give Fa_pt, and the remaining loads are added for Fa_al. Because the gasket seating load is zero, the primary contribution to Fa_al is the combination of the internal pressure and free drop. The 0.3 meter and 9-meter drop accelerations are considered for NCT and HAC cases, respectively. Then the maximum of Fa_pt and Fa_al is considered for the combined non-prying tensile bolt load (Fa_c).
Fa_c = Max (Fa_pt and Fa_al) where:
Fa_pt = (operating preload + temperature load)
Fa_al = (impact + pressure + gasket)
The combined prying tensile bolt forces and bending moments are calculated using the combined fixed edge force (Ff_c) and the combined fixed edge moment (Mf_c) per the methods presented in Table 4.9-II, and Table 2.1 and Table 2.2 of NUREG/CR-6007 [Ref. 10]. The NCT impact bounds the NCT vibration loads for the primary and secondary lid bolts, respectively. Therefore, the variables Ff_c and Mf_c are calculated by combining the internal pressure and NCT impact. Ff_c is calculated by adding fixed edge forces of internal pressure and impact. Similarly, Mf_c is calculated by adding fixed edge moments of internal pressure and impact. Because the fixed edge forces and moments from the 9-meter drop bound the pin puncture and external pressure, it is conservatively added with the fixed edge from the internal pressures for the HAC cases.
The sections below detail the NCT and HAC bolt load combinations for the primary and secondary lids and the calculations of Fap_c based on the procedure described in this section.

2.13.4.1 Fatigue Analysis for Primary Lid Bolts 2.13.4.1.1 Normal Operation Cycles Fatigue due to operating loads is documented based on the maximum NCT cases. The direct stress is obtained by combining the axial and bending stresses. The shear stress is obtained by combining the average shear load and torsional bolt moment. The maximum principal stress (S) is calculated from the combined direct and shear stress.

The corresponding alternating stresses (Sa) are calculated using a fatigue reduction factor (RF) of 4 [Ref. 66]. Also, since the fatigue curve (ASME Section III, Figure I-9.4) is based on a modulus of elasticity of 30 x 103 ksi, which is different than the modulus of elasticity of the bolt materials, a ratio of the modulus of elasticities is considered in calculating the alternating stress per NB-3232.3 [Ref. 65].

Using the yield stress as the stress limit for average tensile bolt stress, as per NUREG/CR-6007 [Ref. 10], implies that a small amount (0.02%) of plastic deformation is permitted. The following calculations show that the O-rings will continue to provide positive sealing of the closure lids even with this small plastic deformation.

G (Chapter 1, Appendix 1.4, Attachment 1.4-2). This may result in a separation between the primary lid and cask flange mating surfaces of 0.0134 mm (= 67mm x 0.0002). However, the primary lid seals are 12
+/-0.3 mm diameter EPDM rubber and the grooves for these seals are 9.4 +/- 0.15 mm deep (Drawing RT-100 PE 1001-1, Rev. G Appendix 1.4). Thus, the seal is minimally compressed 2.15 mm (= (12 - 0.3) - (9.4 + 0.15)). Considering that EPDM O-rings have a compression set of up to 45% at 150 &deg;C (Figure 2.13.5-1), the minimum compression in the seal is 1.18 mm (= 2.15 -
0.45x2.15). Since the minimum seal compression greatly exceeds the separation due to possible plastic deformation, the primary lid/cask flange containment boundary will remain sealed following an HAC drop event.
2.13.5.2 Secondary Lid Seals The 0.02% bolt plastic deformation permitted in NUREG/CR-6007 [Ref.10] is distributed over the 43 mm bolt shank dimension shown in Detail 2 of Drawing RT-100 PE 1001-1 Rev G, (Chapter 1, Appendix 1.4, Attachment 1.4-2). This may result in a separation between the secondary and primary lid mating surfaces of 0.0086 mm (= 43mm x 0.0002). However, the secondary seals are 12 +/-0.3 mm diameter EPDM rubber and the grooves for these seals are 9.4 +/- 0.15 mm deep (Drawing RT-100 PE 1001-1 Rev G (Chapter 1, Appendix 1.4, Attachment 1.4-2).

The evaluation shows that the RT-100 seal region does not undergo inelastic deformation.

RT-100 Safety Analysis Report, Rev. 10 Docket No. 71-9365                                                                      June 20, 2023 the lid component is first selected as shown in Figure 2.15.4-1. As shown in Figure 2.15.4-2, the elements comprising the lid gasket region are then selected to evaluate the stresses specific to the primary gasket location. Visual inspection of the model shows the location of the peak stress in the gasket region and the nodes are identified to calculate the average stress. The ANSYS finite element program [Ref. 28] calculates the average stress across a section by identifying the nodal points using the ANSYS APDL commands PATH, PDEF and PPATH. Figure 2.15.4-2 provides an example of where 2 points are defined across the gasket region. Once the points and path are defined, the ANSYS APDL command PRSECT reports the average stresses.
2.15.2 Stress Concentration Factors Trapezoidal grooves are cut into the primary and secondary lids to allow the gaskets to properly seat during the closure process. Figure 2.15.4-3 shows the lid/gasket geometry. Under load, the grooves can cause a stress riser at the radius, r, where the groove transitions from horizontal to vertical (Standard Handbook for Mechanical Engineers [Ref. 55]). For this evaluation, the load is in the form of a bending moment. Using the dimensions provided in Figure 2.15.4-3 and Table 2.15.4-1, the resulting stress concentration factors are calculated in terms of the ratios of D/d and r/d. For the primary and secondary lids, the stress concentration factors are 2.6 and 2.2, respectively.
2.15.3 Seal Region Stress Results The contact stresses that represent the maximum nodal stresses on the sealing surfaces are summarized in Table 2.15.4-2. The resulting membrane plus bending stresses are compared to the yield stress of the material at the maximum NCT temperature for each HAC case.
For the lid gasket grooves, the linearized stress is calculated for each peak stress location as described in Section 2.15.1 and multiplied by the stress concentration factor calculated in Section 2.15.2. Table 2.15.4-3 provides a summary of the resulting factored stress values. As the table shows the minimum factor of safety is 1.2 in accordance with Regulatory Guide 7.6 [Ref.4], the RT-100 seal region experiences no inelastic deformation during all HAC events.
2.15.4 Displacement Results To determine whether the seal remains tight during HAC, the relative displacement of each sealing surface is determined. Table 2.15.4-4 calculates the relative displacement for each sealing surface and Figure 2.15.4-4 through Figure 2.15.4-9 provide graphical representations of the displacement for each case. From the containment evaluation, the permanent plastic deformation for the EPDM O-ring is approximately 25%. Therefore, based on the seal dimensions, the maximum permissible gap is 1.61mm. Reviewing the relative displacements from Table 2.15.4-4, the maximum separation that occurs is 0.07706mm. Since this maximum separation is less than the permissible gap, the seals are predicted to remain tight during all HAC events.

: 3. THERMAL EVALUATION Robatel has performed a thermal evaluation of the RT-100 using the Nuclear Industry standards and under the RT Company Quality Assurance Program [Ref. 1]. This thermal evaluation shows that the RT-100 meets or exceeds all the 10 CFR 71 regulatory requirements [Ref. 2]. The thermal review is based in part on the descriptions and evaluations presented in the General Information Chapter 1 and Structural Evaluation Chapter 2 of the application. Similarly, results of the thermal review are considered in the review of several other sections of the application. An example of information flow for the thermal review is shown in Figure 3-1.
RT identified, described, discussed, and analyzed the principal thermal engineering design of the RT-100, components, and systems that are important to safety. Section 3 describes how the package complies with the performance requirements of 10 CFR 71 [Ref. 2]. Results of the thermal evaluation verified that the thermal performance of the RT-100 design (for both NCT and HAC) meets the thermal regulatory requirements as follows:
o The RT-100 design is evaluated to demonstrate that it satisfies the thermal requirements of 10 CFR 71.31(a)(1) ]; 10 CFR 71.31(a)(2); 10 CFR 71.33, and 10 CFR 71.35(a) [all Ref. 2].
o The application identifies the established codes and standards used for the thermal design according to 10 CFR 71.31(c) [Ref. 2].
o The performance of the RT-100 is evaluated under the tests specified in 10 CFR Part 71.71 [Ref. 2] for NCT and 10 CFR Part 71.73 [Ref. 2] for HAC and also referenced 10 CFR 71.41(a) [Ref. 2].
o The RT-100 is designed, constructed, and prepared for transport so that there is no significant decrease in packaging effectiveness under the tests specified in 10 CFR 71.71 (NCT) and references in 10 CFR 71.43(f) and 71.51(a)(1) [all Ref. 2].
o The RT-100 is designed, constructed, and prepared for transport so that the accessible surface temperature does not exceed the regulatory limits specified in 10 CFR 71.43(g)
[Ref. 2].
o The RT-100 design does not rely on mechanical cooling systems to meet containment requirements in reference to 10 CFR 71.51(c) [Ref. 2].
o The RT-100 has adequate thermal performance to meet the containment, shielding, sub-criticality, and temperature requirements of 10 CFR 71 [Ref. 2] for (NCT/HAC).

RT-100 Safety Analysis Report, Rev. 10 Docket No. 71-9365                                                                        June 20, 2023 3.1 Description of Thermal Design The thermal design aspects of the RT-100 are related primarily to protecting the sensitive components of the cask and the contents from the elevated temperatures produced by the hypothetical fire accident. The primary thermal criteria that are applied to the thermal evaluation are maintaining the lead shielding in the cask body and secondary lid below the melting temperature of lead, and the maximum temperature of the O-ring seals below their maximum operating temperature. The components primarily responsible for maintaining the temperatures of these components below their acceptance criteria are the impact limiters covering the top and bottom of the cask, and the thermal shield on the radial cask surface.
The impact limiters are made from a polyurethane foam material that has a low thermal conductivity. The impact limiters cover the top and bottom ends of the cask. They protect the lead in the bottom of the cask body and the O-rings in the primary lid, secondary lid, and the vent port cover plate. The impact limiters are designed to remain attached to the cask during normal operations and hypothetical accident conditions, and to insulate the lead and O-rings from the high temperatures of the hypothetical fire accident. The thermal shield covering the radial cask surface is made of a ceramic fiber material with a very low thermal conductivity. The ceramic fiber is covered by a thin, stainless steel cover that protects it from damage during normal handling. The ceramic fiber material is designed for use in insulating refractory furnaces, and providing an excellent thermal barrier for the fire accident, thus preventing the radial lead from exceeding its melting point.
The RT-100 is designed to accommodate contents with a maximum decay heat of 200 watts. This low decay heat value does not produce a significant temperature gradient through the cask body, and as a result, no specific design features are required to facilitate removing the heat from the cavity.
3.1.1 Design Features As briefly described in Section 3.1, the RT-100 design has two primary thermal design features:
the impact limiters and the radial thermal shield. These features are identified in Chapter 1, Figure 1.2.1-1 which highlights the primary components of the cask.
3.1.1.1 RT-100 Description The RT-100 cask body consists of inner and outer shells constructed of 304/304L stainless steel.
Lead shielding is provided between these radial shells, as well as between the 304/304L stainless steel bottom forging and bottom plate. The upper end of the cask comprises the upper 304/304L stainless steel forging that is attached to the inner and outer shells, and contains the mating surface for the primary lid. The primary and secondary lids are constructed of 304L stainless steel, as is the cover plate. The primary lid is attached using thirty-two (32) M48 hex head bolts and the secondary lid is secured using eighteen (18) M36 hex head bolts. The upper and lower impact limiter cover each end of the cask, and are constructed of 304L stainless steel shells containing polyurethane foam blocks. The impact limiters are secured to the body via twelve (12) M24 threaded studs. The RT-100 is described in greater detail in Chapter 1, Section 1.2.1.
Most of the outer shell of the cask is covered by a ceramic fiber thermal shield that is secured by a thin 304L stainless steel cover. Other portions of the radial cask surface are covered by the 318 Robatel Technologies, LLC                                                                    Page 3-3

RT-100 Safety Analysis Report, Rev. 10 Docket No. 71-9365                                                                      June 20, 2023 stainless steel tie-down arms and tie-down arm baseplate, and by the 304L stainless steel lifting blocks. The exposed surfaces of the tie-down arm baseplate are covered by the ceramic fiber thermal shield and 304L stainless steel cover.
3.1.1.2 RT-100 Dimensions The RT-100 thermal analysis is performed using the basic cask dimensions as presented in Appendix 1.4. The inner and outer shell thicknesses at the side of the cask are reduced to account for minimum thickness due to manufacturing tolerances. Specifically, the following material thicknesses are reduced by 2mm:
o  Thicknesses of the cask body inner and outer stainless steel shells o  Bottom end of the cask body o  Stainless steel bottom forging welded to the inner shell o  Stainless steel bottom plate welded to the outer shell.
To represent the condition of undersized shells with a poured lead fill, lead thickness in both the sidewalls and the cask bottom end are simultaneously increased by 4 mm. This approach is conservative as it reduces the amount of stainless steel material protecting the lead from the HAC fire temperatures and thus, maximizes temperatures in the lead.
In order to maximize the amount of heat that can enter the cask body during the fire, no gaps are assumed between the lead and the outer shell. The lead and stainless steel outer shell are assumed to be in perfect contact. No other gaps are assumed in the thermal evaluation between the various components of the cask.
3.1.2 Contents Decay Heat The RT-100 is designed for a maximum decay heat of 200 watts. This value is selected as the design basis.
The analysis of the cask for normal condition of transport (NCT) and hypothetical accident conditions (HAC) is performed using the ANSYS finite element computer code [Ref. 3]. In this analysis, the decay heat of the contents is modeled as a uniform heat flux on the internal surfaces of the cask cavity.
To calculate this uniform heat flux over the inside surface of the cask, the inside diameter and the height of the cask cavity is used.
Ain  = dL + 2(d2/4) where Ain    = inside surface area of the cask (m2) d      = inside diameter of the cask (m)
L      = height of the cavity (m)

The area is then Ain = x1.730x1.956 + 2(x1.7302/4) = 15.332 m2 The uniform internal heat flux, qint, is then qint = 200W / 15.332 m2 = 13.04 W/m2 3.1.3 Summary Tables of Temperatures Section 3.1.3 presents summary tables of maximum temperatures occurring in the RT-100 as a result of the NCT and HAC evaluations described in detail in Sections 3.3 and 3.4. Limiting temperatures for consideration in the structural and containment evaluations are the maximum temperatures. Therefore, the following tables present maximum temperatures that occur in the various cask components under NCT and HAC. Table 3.1.3-1 presents the NCT maximum temperatures while Table 3.1.3-2 and Table 3.1.3-3 present the maximum temperatures HAC. For the fire accident evaluation, the time at which the component reaches its maximum temperature is listed along with the temperature. In some cases, temperatures are after cessation of the fire transient.
The tables also present the maximum averaged surface temperature of the inner shell at the cavity side. These averaged surface temperatures are used to predict the cavity pressure under normal and hypothetical conditions, respectively.

3.1.4 Summary Tables of Maximum Pressures The maximum internal pressures in the RT-100 are determined using the maximum temperatures presented in Table 3.1.3-1, Table 3.1.3-2, and Table 3.1.3-3 above. Details of these pressure calculations are presented in Section 3.3.2 for NCT and in Section 3.4.3 for HAC. Table 3.1.4-1 presents a summary of the maximum pressure calculations for normal and accident conditions.
These pressures are utilized in the structural evaluation presented for the cask body in Sections 2.6 and 2.7.

The thermal absorptivities and emissivities are appropriate for the package surface conditions and each thermal condition. When reporting a property as a single value, the evaluation shows that this value bounds the equivalent temperature-dependent property. This section includes references for the data provided.
Only room temperature values of conductivity, density, and specific heat are available for General Plastics FR-3700 series LAST-A-FOAM [Ref. 10, 11, and 12]. Quantitative temperature dependent material properties are not provided. However, most of the foam remains at temperatures close to ambient due to the dimensions of the RT-100 impact limiters which result in long heat conduction paths (see Figure 3.3.1-3). Thus, reduction in the foam thermal properties due to elevated temperatures will not be significant. Therefore, the use of temperature-independent thermal properties is justified.
Information on the EPDM O-ring material is provided in TRELLEBORG, Aug. 2011 Edition
[Ref. 8] and PARKER O-RING Handbook [Ref. 16] for two different suppliers. The temperature range specified in Table 3.2.1-1 is conservative from the values specified in those two references. Additional information on the O-rings is presented in Appendices Attachment 3.5-1 and Attachment 3.5-2.

The contents include secondary containers and may also include shoring. Resins are made of thermoplastics such as polystyrene, or material such as inorganic carbon or zeolite. Filters may be constructed from thermoplastics such as nylon, polyester, or polypropylene, or paper. Activated hardware are solid metallic components that are classified as high-density hardware or low-density hardware. Secondary containers are constructed of either coated/painted carbon steel or stainless steel, or a thermoplastic such as polyethylene or polypropylene. The filter media may be held within a stainless steel cartridge. Shoring can be made of wood or one or several of the materials comprising the secondary containers.
Based on the ASME code, Section II-D [Ref. 13], the acceptable temperature of the carbon steel and stainless steel material is approximately 525&deg;C (977oF) for the range of loads and stresses occurring under NCT and HAC.
The melting temperatures of thermoplastics range from 100&deg;C (212oF) up to 250&deg;C (482oF) SFPE Handbook of Fire Protection Engineering, [Ref. 21], which typically soften at these temperatures and do not produce volatiles that could react with any of the contents. The auto-ignition temperature of thermoplastics is above 300&deg;C (572oF) [Ref. 21].
The auto-ignition temperatures of paper and wood vary widely and are a function of their specific composition and moisture content. A commonly accepted value for the auto-ignition point for paper is 232&deg;C (450&deg;F) Fundamentals of Combustion Processes, [Ref. 22]. The auto-ignition point for wood has been shown to be at least 300&deg;C (572oF) An Experimental Study of Autoignition of Wood, T. Poespowati, World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology 23, 2008. [Ref. 23].
A summary of the maximum temperature specifications for the RT-100 contents is provided in Table 3.2.3-1.

3.3.1 Heat and Cold Section 3.3.1 demonstrates that the tests for NCT do not result in a significant reduction in the RT-100 effectiveness. The following items are considered and addressed:
o Degradation of the heat-transfer capability of the packaging (such as creation of new gaps between components) o Changes in material conditions or properties (e.g., expansion, contraction, gas generation, and thermal stresses) affecting structural performance o Changes in the packaging affecting containment, shielding, or criticality (such as thermal decomposition or melting of materials) o Ability of the packaging to withstand the tests under HAC The component temperatures and pressures are compared to their allowable values and do not exceed them. This section explicitly shows that the package meets the maximum temperature of the accessible package surface is less than 50 &deg;C (122 &deg;F) for non-exclusive-use shipment or 85 &deg;C (185 &deg;F) for exclusive use shipment when the package is subjected to the heat conditions of 10 CFR 71.43(g) [Ref. 2].

RT-100 Safety Analysis Report, Rev. 10 Docket No. 71-9365                                                                          June 20, 2023 3.3.1.2 Analytical Model The thermal evaluation of the RT-100 is performed using the ANSYS finite element computer software [Ref. 3]. The cask model is made of 3D thermal solid elements (SOLID90) that represent the major components of the cask. Contact between the lead and the inner and outer shells are modeled as bonded surfaces for thermal analyses in order to maximize heat input to the lead. The contact between the upper flange and the primary lid is modeled by a pair of 3D thermal contact elements (CONTA174) and 3D target elements (TARGE170), as are the other contacts between the primary lid and the secondary lid, the bolts with the primary lid, and the bolts with the secondary lid.
For conservatism, the top impact limiter is modeled as without the stainless steel plate covering the central hollow portion of the limiter. Thus, the concave area on the top impact limiter is exposed to solar insolation and/or fire. This approach leads to a conservatively high temperature over the top impact limiter. The contacts between the impact limiters and the cask body are also modeled by pairs of 3D thermal contact elements (CONTA174) and 3D target elements (TARGE170) between the relative surfaces.
A depiction of the ANSYS thermal model of the RT-100 is provided in Figure 3.3.1-1 and Figure 3.3.1-2. Additional details regarding the modeling and analysis of the RT-100 are presented in Calculation Package RTL-001-CALC-TH-0201, Rev. 6 [Ref. 4].

RT-100 Safety Analysis Report, Rev. 10 Docket No. 71-9365                                                                          June 20, 2023 3.3.2 Maximum Normal Operating Pressure The maximum pressure in the RT-100 for NCT is calculated using the maximum temperatures determined for the range of normal condition load cases. The calculation considers possible sources of gases including the following:
o Gases initially present in the package o Saturated vapor, including water vapor from the contents or packaging o Hydrogen or other gases resulting from thermal- or radiation-induced decomposition of materials such as water or plastics Summary of the pressure calculation is provided in the following sections. Additional details are provided in Calculation Package RTL-001-CALC-TH-0102, Rev. 6 [Ref. 6].
3.3.2.1 Calculation Method To determine the maximum normal operating pressure, the temperature of gas mixture within the cask is evaluated. Maximum temperature of the cask cavity under normal condition is bounded by the upper and lower temperature range of 80 &deg;C (176oF) to -29 &deg;C (-20oF). The total pressure in the cavity is represented by the sum of the primary contributors to the pressure. These are the pressure due to the increased temperature of the cavity gas (ideal gas law), the pressure due to the presence of water vapor, and the pressure due to the generation of gas via radiolysis.
The restriction of the contents to inorganic materials eliminates the potential for gas generation due to thermal degradation or biological activity. Thus, these gas sources are not considered in the evaluation. However, water vapor is present in trace quantities. Therefore, the analysis considers the contribution from the radiolytic decomposition of residual water in the cask cavity.
Per the ideal gas law, air pressure and water vapor pressure are directly proportional to the temperature, and with increase in temperature the pressure also increases. The upper bound temperature results in a higher maximum normal operating pressure for the cask compared to the lower bound. The gas mixture in the cavity is conservatively assumed to be at 80 &deg;C (176oF).
3.3.2.2 Pressure Due to the Initially Sealed Air in the Cavity Per the ideal gas law, the partial pressure of the air (Pair) initially sealed in the fixed volume of the cask at the ambient temperature as it is heated to 80 &deg;C (176 &deg;F) is:
P1 x T2 = P2 x T1 Pair = 101.35 kPa[(353.15 K) / (294.25 K)] = 121.64 kPa (17.64 psia) 3.3.2.3 Pressure Due to the Water Vapor in the Cask The cask cavity is assumed to contain a small amount of water. By conservatively assuming a condensing surface temperature of 80 &deg;C (176 &deg;F), the water vapor pressure, Pwv, at this temperature is:

Adding the water vapor pressure at 80 &deg;C (176 &deg;F) to the partial pressure of the air in the sealed cask at this temperature gives:
P2 = Pair + Pwv = 121.64 + 47. 34 = 169.0 kPa

3.3.2.4 Pressure Due to Generation of Gas Solidified or dewatered material may contain some water. Therefore, radiolytic generation of gases from this water could occur. Hydrogen and oxygen may be produced in the cask by radiolytic decomposition of residual water in the cask contents. As described in Chapter 1, Section 1.2.2.6, the maximum quantity of hydrogen must be limited to less than 5% to ensure that an explosive quantity does not accumulate.
The cask atmosphere can be assumed to contain 5% of hydrogen (H2) gas due to radiolysis of the water. By stoichiometry of the water molecule (H2O), the cask atmosphere will also contain 2.5%
oxygen (O2) gas generated by radiolysis. Partial pressures in an ideal gas mixture are additive and behave the same as ideal gas volume fraction or mole fractions. Therefore, the partial pressure of hydrogen is described by the following equation:
PH2 = 0.05 Ppt Where, Ppt = Pair + Pwv + PH2 + PO2 Combining Pair + Pwv = P2 and noting that PO2 = 0.5 x PH2.
PH2 = 0.05 x (P2 + 1.5 PH2)
Solving the equation explicitly for PH2 give:
PH2 = [0.05 P2] / [1 - 0.05 (1.5)]
            = [0.05
* 169.0 kPa] / [1 - 0.05 (1.5)]
            = 9.14 kPa [1.32 psia]
3.3.2.5 Total Pressure Based on the stoichiometric relationship between hydrogen and oxygen liberated by radiolysis of water, and again combining the pressure of the initially sealed air and water vapor as P 2, the total pressure in the cask at 80oC (176oF) is:
PTotal  = P2 + 1.5 PH2
                = 169.0 kPa + 1.5
* 9.14 kPa
                = 182.71 kPa [26.5 psia] (actual calculated MNOP)
The design basis maximum normal operating pressure (MNOP) value is conservatively set at 342.7 kPa (49.7 psia) for use in the cask structural analyses for NCT.

RT-100 Safety Analysis Report, Rev. 10 Docket No. 71-9365                                                                      June 20, 2023 3.4 Thermal Evaluation under Hypothetical Accident Conditions This section describes the thermal evaluation of the RT-100 under hypothetical accident conditions.
The RT-100 is evaluated by finite element computer analysis rather than physical testing to demonstrate the performance of the cask in response to the fire test conditions specified in 10 CFR 71.73(c) [Ref. 2]. The HAC defined in 10 CFR 71.73(c) [Ref. 2] are applied sequentially, considering the damaged condition of the packaging following the 30-foot free drop and pin puncture accident events prior to the fire transient. For the accident condition thermal evaluation, the general comments in Section 3.3 are considered and addressed, as appropriate.
As described in Chapter 2, Section 2.7.3 (Puncture), different pin puncture configurations are considered in order to determine the worst case for the accident event. For the structural evaluation, the orientations considered are directly in the middle of the secondary lid to maximize the bending loads in the primary and secondary lids and prying forces in the bolts. The second configuration considers the pin impact directly into the side of the RT-100 to ensure that the outer shell is not punctured by the pin. For the thermal analysis, these two events are also considered to be limiting.
The differences are in the location of the pin at impact.
3.4.1 HAC Fire AnalysisPin Puncture Damage to Top Impact Limiter The analytical model described in Section 3.3.1.2 is used to evaluate the RT-100 package with damage on the top impact limiter. For this case, the limiting configuration for the thermal analysis considers a pin puncture through the top impact limiter directly into the secondary lid at the location of the O-rings. The model placed a 150 mm (6 in) diameter hole through the upper impact limiter, directly exposing the secondary lid to the thermal environment of the hypothetical accident fire. The following section evaluates both pin puncture orientations to determine the effect to critical components such as the seal locations and lead shielding.
3.4.1.1 Initial ConditionsPin Puncture Damage to Top Impact Limiter Per Regulatory Position 1.1 in Regulatory Guide 7.8 [Ref. 20], the initial cask temperature distribution is considered to be at steady state with an ambient temperature of 38&deg;C (100oF) and solar insolation prior to the HAC fire accident. To meet this requirement, the steady-state solution for NCT hot case 1 is used, obtained to the initial temperatures of the cask prior to the fire. The steady-state temperatures are applied as the first load step of the transient solutions. To account for damage to the package that results during the sequential drop accidents, damage due to pin puncture is considered during the top and side puncture. For the top impact limiter 150 mm diameter volume of material including the steel shell and FR3740 foam is removed at the point closest to the elastomer O-ring. This is a conservative approach since the puncture probe will not penetrate through the top skin of the impact limiter and compressed foam will remain beneath the point of impact. Figure 3.4.1-1 shows the temperature contour of the package prior to the fire accident and localized higher temperatures in the region of the damaged impact limiter. Figure 3.4.1-2 and Figure 3.4.1-3 show the cask body and inner shell cavity temperature distribution prior to the fire accident.
3.4.1.2 HAC Fire and Cool-down AnalysisPin Puncture Damage to Top Impact Limiter The thermal analysis for HAC includes a 30 minute transient fire followed by the prescribed post-fire cool-down period. The FE model described in Section 3.3.1.2 is analyzed by applying the Robatel Technologies, LLC                                                                  Page 3-31

Following the initial load step in which the steady-state temperatures are applied, the analysis proceeds with the HAC fire transient for 30 minutes (1,800 seconds) followed by a cool-down period with the boundary conditions associated with NCT Hot case 1. The NCT Hot case 1 boundary conditions are applied as constants ignoring the day/night cool-down cycle. The following is a summary of the fire transient boundary conditions:
o  Environment temperature, 800&deg;C (1472&deg;F) o  No solar insolation, 0 W/m2 o  Forced convection, heat transfer coefficient = 10 W/m2&deg;C o  Radiation from the environment to package surface, flame emissivity = 0.9 o  Internal heat load as a uniform heat flux, 13.04 W/m2 The cool-down analysis is performed for 216,000 seconds (2.5 days) with the following boundary conditions:
o Environment temperature, 38&deg;C (100&deg;F) o Solar insolation applied as constant, 776 W/m2 for flat surfaces and 388 W/m2 for curved surfaces.
o Natural convection, heat transfer coefficient = 5 W/m2&deg;C o Radiation from package surface to the environment, package emissivity = 0.8 o Internal heat load as a uniform heat flux, 13.04 W/m2 Proprietary Information Content Withheld Under 10 CFR 2.390(b)

For this case, the limiting configuration considers the pin puncturing the thermal shield directly below the lifting block. This configuration increases the area of the outer shell of the cask that is not protected by the thermal shield and maximizes the heat input into the lead. The following section evaluates both pin puncture orientations to determine the effect to critical components such as the seal locations and lead shielding.
3.4.2.1 Initial ConditionPin Puncture Damage to the Side of the Cask Body Figure 3.4.2-1 shows the FE model of the cask body due to pin puncture damage on the side. The location of the damage is chosen below the lifting pocket in a region where no thermal insulation exists. Therefore, the heat flow is maximized into the package. The removed elements at this area cover a surface area greater than the area of the pin. As with the pin puncture on the top impact limiter case, NCT Hot case 1 steady state solution is used as the initial condition for the fire cases.
The steady-state temperatures are applied as a boundary condition during the first load step of the Robatel Technologies, LLC                                                                  Page 3-43

Figure 3.4.2-2 shows the package temperature distribution prior to the fire. The cask body and inner shell pre-fire temperatures are shown in Figure 3.4.2-3 and Figure 3.4.2-4.
3.4.2.2 HAC Fire AnalysisPin Puncture Damage to the Side of the Cask Body The thermal analysis for HAC includes a 30 minute transient fire followed by the prescribed post-fire cool-down period. The FE model described in Section 3.3.1.2 is analyzed by applying the following boundary conditions. Following the initial load step in which the steady-state temperatures are applied, the analysis proceeds with the HAC fire transient for 30 minutes (1,800 seconds) followed by a cool-down period with the boundary conditions associated with NCT hot case 1. The NCT hot case 1 boundary conditions are applied as constants, ignoring the day/night cool-down cycle. The following is a summary of the fire transient boundary conditions:

RT-100 Safety Analysis Report, Rev. 10 Docket No. 71-9365                                                                        June 20, 2023 3.4.3 Maximum Temperatures and Pressure This section summarizes the peak accident condition temperatures of RT-100 components as a function of time both during and after the fire, as well as the maximum temperatures from the post-fire, steady-state condition. This section includes those temperatures at locations in the package that are significant to the safety analysis and review. The calculations of transient temperatures trace the temperature-time history up to and past the time at which maximum temperatures are achieved and begin to fall. The calculations confirm that these temperatures do not exceed their maximum allowable values. It also confirms that lead shielding does not reach melting temperature.
The RT-100 is evaluated structurally for the maximum HAC temperatures and pressures in Chapter 2, Section 2.7.4 (Thermal).
3.4.3.1 Maximum Temperatures Section 3.4.1 and 3.4.2 present a summary of the evaluation of the RT-100 for the hypothetical accident condition fire transient. Provided in the summary are figures depicting temperature distributions and time histories as a function of time during and after the fire transient. Maximum temperatures for various cask components as a result of the HAC are presented in Table 3.1.3-2 and Table 3.1.3-3.
Of interest in this section is the determination of the maximum internal pressure in the cask cavity as a result of the fire test. As shown in Table 3.1.3-3, the maximum average inner shell temperature during the fire transient is 137&deg;C. The temperature of the cask body components is increased due to the fire transient, with a maximum normal condition inner shell temperature of 73.1&deg;C as reported in Table 3.1.3-1. Because the temperature of the inner shell of the cask is raised by 64&deg;C as a result of the fire transient and because the maximum internal decay heat of the contents is only 200 watts, it is conservative to assume that the cavity temperatures are bounded by the average inner shell temperatures. For conservatism, the inner shell can be assumed to be at 150&deg;C for the pressure calculations presented in Section 3.4.3.2.
As previously discussed, the primary components of interest during the fire transient from a temperature standpoint are the lead gamma shielding and the O-ring seals in the primary and secondary lids. As described in detail in Section 3.4.2, the lead and O-ring materials do not exceed their allowable, and in fact have safety margins of more than 23&deg;C below their maximum allowable temperatures. The temperature distributions within the cask, as a result of the hypothetical accident condition fire transient, are fully considered in the structural evaluation of the cask presented in Chapter 2, Section 2.7.4 (Thermal).
3.4.3.2 Maximum Accident Condition Pressure The evaluation of the maximum pressure in the RT-100 is based on the maximum normal operating pressure, and considers fire-induced increases in package temperatures, thermal combustion or decomposition processes, phase changes, etc. (Fuel rod failure is not applicable). The value of this maximum pressure is consistent with the values used in the Structural Evaluation and Containment sections.
Similar to the calculation of the maximum normal operating pressure in Section 3.3.2, the Robatel Technologies, LLC                                                                    Page 3-57

RT-100 Safety Analysis Report, Rev. 10 Docket No. 71-9365                                                                          June 20, 2023 maximum accident condition pressure is calculated using bounding assumptions for the temperatures in the cask as a result of the hypothetical accident condition fire transient. The maximum pressure is the sum of four components:
: 1. The pressure due to the initially sealed air in the cavity
: 2. The pressure due to water vapor in the cask
: 3. The pressure due to the hydrogen and oxygen gases generated by radiolysis
: 4. The pressure due to the thermal decomposition of the contents The following sections present a summary of the maximum accident condition pressure calculation.
Details of the calculation are provided in Calculation Package RTL-001-CALC- TH-0202, Rev. 6
[Ref. 7], and RTL-001-CALC-TH-0301, Rev. 1 [Ref. 25].
3.4.3.2.1 Calculation Method The internal cavity pressure due to accident condition temperatures is determined using the same method used to calculate the maximum normal condition pressure in Section 3.3.2. The method presented below is equal to that used previously, with the maximum normal operating pressure and internal temperatures used along with the maximum internal temperature determined in Section 3.4.3.1 to calculate the maximum accident condition pressure.
3.4.3.2.2 Pressure Due to the Initially Sealed Air in the Cavity Per the ideal gas law, the partial pressure of the air (Pair) initially sealed in the fixed volume of the cask at the ambient temperature as it is heated to 150 &deg;C is:
P1 x T2 = P2 x T1 Pair = 101.35 kPa[(423.15 K) / (294.25 K)] = 145.8 kPa (21.15 psia) 3.4.3.2.3 Pressure Due to the Water Vapor in the Cask The RT-100 cavity is assumed to contain a small amount of water. By conservatively assuming a condensing surface temperature of 150 &deg;C, the water vapor pressure, Pwv, at this temperature is 475.8 kPa [69 psia] Fundamentals of Engineering Thermodynamics, 5th Edition, Table A-2 on pg.
761 [Ref. 18], also see Attachment 3.5-4. Adding the water vapor pressure at 150 &deg;C to the partial pressure of the air in the sealed cask at this temperature gives:
P2 = Pair + Pwv = 145.8 + 475.8 = 621.6 kPa [90.16 psia]
3.4.3.2.4 Pressure Due to Generation of Gas Solidified or dewatered material may contain some water. Therefore, radiolytic generation of gases from this water could occur. Hydrogen and oxygen may be produced in the cask by radiolytic decomposition of residual water in the cask contents. As described in Section 1.2.2.6, the maximum quantity of hydrogen must be limited to less than 5% to ensure that an explosive quantity does not accumulate.

RT-100 Safety Analysis Report, Rev. 10 Docket No. 71-9365                                                                        June 20, 2023 The cask atmosphere can be assumed to contain 5% of hydrogen (H2) gas due to radiolysis of the water. By stoichiometry of the water molecule (H2O), the cask atmosphere will also contain 2.5%
oxygen (O2) gas generated by radiolysis. Partial pressures in an ideal gas mixture are additive and behave the same as ideal gas volume fraction or mole fractions. Therefore, the partial pressure of hydrogen is described by the following equation:
PH2 = 0.05 Ppt Where, Ppt = Pair + Pwv + PH2 + PO2 Combining Pair + Pwv = P2 and noting that PO2 = 0.5 x PH2.
PH2 = 0.05 x (P2 + 1.5 PH2)
Solving the equation explicitly for PH2 gives:
PH2    = [0.05 P2] / [1 - 0.05 (1.5)]
        = [0.05
* 621.6kPa] / [1 - 0.05 (1.5)]
        = 33.6 kPa [4.87 psia]
3.4.3.2.5 Total Pressure Based on the stoichiometric relationship between hydrogen and oxygen liberated by radiolysis of water, and again combining the pressure of the initially sealed air and water vapor as P2, the total pressure in the cask at 150 &deg;C is:
PTotal = P2 + 1.5 PH2
        = 621.6 kPa + 1.5
* 33.6 kPa
        = 672 kPa [97.47 psia]
The maximum pressure is 672 kPa [97.47 psia] under HAC. For conservatism, the maximum accident pressure is assumed to be 689.4 kPa [100 psia] for the structural analyses presented in Chapter 2, Section 2.7.4 (Thermal).
3.4.3.2.6 Total Pressure Accounting for Combustion of Contents In addition to the natural effect of temperature increases on pressure buildup in the package, other thermally driven phenomena can contribute to the pressure buildup within the containment boundary of a package. As discussed previously, these include phase transformation of materials in the package and radiolysis of the contents by radioactive decay. Additionally, the pressure increases due to the contribution of the partial pressure that results from the thermal decomposition of the package contents [Ref 25].
Solid polymeric materials, including cellulosics such as wood and paper, undergo both physical and chemical changes when heat is applied. Thermal decomposition is a process of extensive chemical species change caused by heat, generating gaseous fuel vapors which can burn above the Robatel Technologies, LLC                                                                  Page 3-59

RT-100 Safety Analysis Report, Rev. 10 Docket No. 71-9365                                                                        June 20, 2023 solid material. The process is self-sustaining when the burning gases feed back sufficient heat to the material to continue the production of gaseous fuel vapors or volatiles. These volatiles react with the oxygen in the air to generate heat, and part of this heat is transferred back to the polymer to continue the process.
The Robatel RT-100 contents include filters that may be constructed from thermoplastics (nylon, polyester, polypropylene) or paper and shoring made of wood may be contained in the package.
Although it is unlikely that temperatures under HAC will approach the auto-ignition temperatures of the contents, the following analysis is performed to evaluate the effect of combustion on the package pressure.
Combustion in a sealed container is limited by the amount of air present to support the chemical reaction for the thermal decomposition of the fuel. Heats from the exothermic combustion reaction will increase the temperature of the contents and packaging. The maximum temperature in a sealed container will determine the maximum pressure, along with some additional pressure from emitted gases. The sealed inner containment of the RT-100 cask contains only enough air (5.75 kg) for complete combustion of approximately 1.127 kg of cellulosic material, paper or wood; or 0.390 kg of polyethylene.
Gibbs-Dalton Law defines total pressure, PT, equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases present. The total pressure PT, in the package containment is the sum of pressures due to phase transformation of materials in the package Pv (Ref. 25, p. 25, where Pv = Psat),
radiolysis of the contents by radioactive decay Pr (1.5 PH2 from Section 3.4.3.2.5), and thermal decomposition of the package contents Pf (Ref. 25, p. 25, where Pf = Pfwood). The vapor pressure from the phase transformation of water and the partial pressures of hydrogen and oxygen gases generated from the radiolysis of water in the contents are considered in the total pressure calculation.
PT = Pv + Pr + Pf PT = 463.2 kPa + 50.4 kPa + 171.0 kPa = 684.6 kPa [99.3 psia]
where the total pressure of the inner cavity is based on the complete combustion of wood, which has the highest heat of combustion. Since the temperature required to ignite wood are not sustainable, complete combustion is not considered a credible event, therefore, the maximum pressure is taken as 97.47 psia as demonstrated in Section 3.4.3.2.5.
3.4.4 Maximum Thermal Stress The RT-100 cask is evaluated for the stresses produced by the temperature gradients in the cask body that result from exposure of the cask to the HAC fire transient. This evaluation, which utilizes the temperature distributions resulting from the fire accident as described in Section 3.4.3, is presented in detail in Chapter 2, Section 2.7.4 (Thermal).
3.4.5 Accident Conditions for Fissile Material Packages for Air Transport This Section is NOT APPLICABLE. The RT-100 is not be used for fissile material air transport.

: 4. CONTAINMENT EVALUATION Robatel performed the containment evaluation of the RT-100 using the Nuclear Industry standards and under the RT Company Quality Assurance Program [Ref. 1]. This Chapter demonstrates the RT-100 containment boundary compliance with the permitted activity release limits specified in 10 CFR 71.51(a)(1) [Ref. 2] and 10 CFR 71.51(a)(2) [Ref. 2] for both normal conditions of transport (NCT) and hypothetical accident conditions (HAC) of transport. The reference leakage rates for various cask conditions are normally calculated, and the most bounding value is chosen as the maximum allowable leakage rate for the cask in order to ensure compliance with regulatory limits.
Due to the variety of inventories, diversity in both isotopic composition and in total activity concentration, the RT-100 has been established as a leaktight container. Leaktight is a degree of package containment that in a practical sense precludes any significant release of radioactive materials.
This degree of containment is achieved by demonstration of a leakage rate less than or equal to 1 x 10-7 ref*cm3/s, of air at an upstream pressure of 1 atmosphere absolute and a downstream pressure of 0.01 atmosphere absolute or less (ANSI N14.5-2014 [Ref. 3]).
The containment review is based in part on the descriptions and evaluations presented in the General Information, Structural Evaluation and Thermal Evaluation sections of the application. Similarly, results of the containment review are considered in the review of Operating Procedures and Acceptance Tests and Maintenance Program. An example of the information flow for the containment review is shown in Figure 4-1 on the following page.
4.1 Description of Containment System Section 4.1 provides a detailed description of the containment system. This description includes the containment vessel, welds, seals, lids, cover plates, and other closure devices relevant to the containment boundary of the cask. Materials of construction and applicable codes and standards are presented in the RT100 NM 1000 Rev. G - Bill of Material (Chapter 1, Appendix 1.4, Attachment 1.4-1).
4.1.1 Containment Vessel The package containment system is defined as the inner shell of the shielded transport cask, together with the associated lid, O-ring seals, and lid closure bolts. The inner shell of the RT-100, or containment vessel, consists of a right circular cylinder of 1730 mm inner diameter and 1956 mm inside height. The shell is fabricated of stainless steel. At the base, the cylindrical shell is attached to a circular forged bottom with full penetration weld. At the top, the inner shell is attached to a circular forged flange with a full penetration weld. The primary lid is attached to the cask body with thirty-two (32) equally spaced M48 hex head bolts. A secondary lid covers an opening in the primary lid and is attached to the primary lid using eighteen (18) equally spaced M36 hex head bolts. Refer to Chapter 4, Section 4.1.4 for closure details. The inner shell is shown to maintain stresses within allowable limits in Chapter 2, Section 2.6.7 for NCT and in Chapter 2, Section 2.7 Robatel Technologies, LLC                                                                      Page 4-1

For each location, an inner O-ring seals the containment boundary.
o Primary lid o Secondary lid o Cask vent port cover plate A vent port penetrates the primary lid into the main cask cavity. The vent penetration contains a quick disconnect valve and is sealed with the vent port cover plate. The primary lid, secondary lid and the cover plate are sealed with EPDM O-rings. Figure 4.1.2-1 illustrates the containment boundaries of the RT-100 (in red). The RT-100 does not rely on any valve or pressure relief device to meet the containment requirements. The quick disconnect valve is protected by the vent port cover plate which protects the valve from unauthorized operation and provides a sealed enclosure to retain any leakage from the device.

Lid seals are EPDM O-rings and are further addressed in Section 4.1.4. O-rings may be supplied by manufacturers such as those in Parker O-Ring Handbook ORD 5700 [Ref. 10] and Trelleborg Sealing Solutions O-Ring and Backup Rings Catalog, August 2011 [Ref. 11]. Additional information on the O-rings taken from these references is provided in Attachment 4.5-1 through Attachment 4.5-5.
Parker O-Ring Handbook ORD 5700 [Ref. 10] and Trelleborg Sealing Solutions O-Ring and Backup Rings Catalog, August 2011 [Ref. 11] contain information regarding the operating temperature range, gap permeability, and compression set for the material. The temperature performance of the EPDM O-rings is presented in Chapter 3, Section 3.2.1 and the application of the O-rings in the primary and secondary lid seals is addressed in Chapter 2, Appendix 2.13. EPDM radiation resistance is addressed in Radiation Resistance of Elastomers, IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science, Vol. NS-32, No.5, October 1985 [Ref. 12], indicating that the material is radiation resistant up to 5x108 rads while retaining reasonable flexibility and strength, hardness, and very good compression set resistance. A copy of Reference 12 is provided in Attachment 4.5-5.
4.1.4 Closure The primary lid closure consists of a partially recessed, 210 mm-thick stainless steel plate. The lid is supported at the perimeter of the cylindrical body by a thick flange (upper forging) which is welded to the top of the inner and outer cylindrical shells. The Primary Lid is attached to the cask body by thirty-two (32) equally spaced M48 hex head bolts. Two (2) EPDM O-rings are retained in machined grooves at the lid perimeter. Groove dimensions prevent over-compression of the O-rings by the closure bolt pre-load forces and hypothetical accident impact forces.
The cask is fitted with a recessed secondary lid which consists of 100 mm thick plate, a 60 mm thick lead gamma shield, and 10 mm thick closure plate. The Secondary Lid is attached to the Primary Lid with eighteen (18) equally spaced M36 hex head bolts. Two (2) EPDM O-rings are retained in machined grooves at the lid perimeter.
The quick-disconnect valve is housed under a 10mm thick stainless steel cover plate. The Quick-Disconnect Valve Cover Plate is attached to the primary lid with six (6) equally spaced M10 hex head bolts. Two (2) EPDM O-rings are retained in machined grooves at the lid perimeter.
The torque requirements for these bolts may be seen below in Table 4.1.4-1. Due to this closure setup, continuous venting from the RT-100 is precluded.
As stated above, the containment system is sealed by multiple bolted closures. These closures contain numerous bolts that are required to be tightened to specified torques using approved procedures during the cask loading process. Secure closure is assured by the torque values specified Robatel Technologies, LLC                                                                  Page 4-5

The torques are specified in order to ensure that sufficient pre-load is applied to the bolts so that they will withstand loads from the maximum normal and accident condition pressures within the cavity.
The closure system is evaluated for NCT and HAC in Chapter 2, Appendix 2.13. Closure bolts are shown to maintain adequate design margin and allow the O-rings to maintain a positive seal at all times.

Using the equations for molecular and continuum flow provided in NUREG/CR-6487 [Ref. 7], the corresponding leak hole diameter is calculated for the RT-100 for standard test conditions by solving Equation 4.1 for D, the leak hole diameter. The capillary length required for Equation 4.1 for the containment system is conservatively chosen as the O-ring groove width in the vent port cover plate lid, which is 0.49 cm.

Pa      is the average pressure; Pa = (Pu + Pd)/2 for standard conditions [atm], and D      is the capillary diameter [cm].
The leak hole diameter is determined using the parameters for standard conditions presented in Table 4.1.5-3.
The allowable leakage rate for leaktight conditions is at the upstream pressure, the ratio presented in Equation 4.2 is used to convert Equation 4.1 to upstream leakage rate so that the capillary diameter can be determined.
Equation 4.2 Pu
                                              @ = L@Pu Pa where:
L@Pa is the allowable leakage rate at the average pressure [cm3/s] for standard conditions, L@Pu is the allowable leakage rate at the upstream pressure [cm3/s] for standard conditions, Pu      is the upstream pressure [atm],
Pd      is the downstream pressure [atm], and Pa      is the average pressure; Pa = (Pu + Pd)/2 [atm].
The sensitivity for the leakage test procedures is established by ANSI N14.5-2014 [Ref. 3] as shown in Equation 4.3.

  *Adjusted for the individual properties of the test gas (calculated below); sensitivity is LHe/2.
As shown in Table 4.1.5-1, the Maintenance, Fabrication, and Periodic leakage tests may be performed using helium as the test gas. The acceptance criterion for these tests is the equivalent reference leakage rate for helium gas, LHe, which is calculated below.
4.3.1 Determination of Equivalent Reference Leakage Rate for Helium Gas Section 4.3.1 determines the allowable leakage rate using the Helium gas which may be used to perform the annual verification leakage tests summarized in Table 4.1.5-1 above. This calculation uses formulas presented in ANSI N14.5-2014 [Ref. 3].
It is known that the reference air leakage rate, LR, is 1.00 x 10-7 ref*cm3/s based on leaktight criteria.
Using Equation 4.1 and Equation 4.2, the maximum capillary diameter, Dmax, was determined:

0.505
  @=                            +                              (1  0.01) (                )

(                                                      )
                  = 1107 3 /
Diameter values are inputted until the result of the above calculation is roughly equivalent to 1x10-7 ref*cm3/s. Solving for Dmax iteratively yields:
Dmax = 1.3261E-04 [cm]

The leakage tests are performed with an air/helium mixture. The helium partial pressures can vary from 0.25 atm to 1.0 atm. An example with a helium partial pressure of 0.7 atm has been provided to illustrate the process used to determine the value of the variables used to determine the acceptable test leakage rates.
Assume the cask void is evacuated to 0.3 atm and then pressurized to 1.0 atm with an air/helium mixture.
Pvoid = Pair = 0.3 atm Pmix= 1.0 atm PHe = Pmix - Pair = 0.7 atm The downstream pressure, Pd, under standard conditions is 0.01 atm.
Pa = 0.5 x (Pmix + Pd)  Pa = 0.505 atm From ANSI N14.5-2014 [Ref. 3]:
MHe = 4.0 g/mol                Mair = 29.0 g/mol He = 0.0198 cP                air = 0.0185 cP The mass of the mixture of air/helium gases is then determined:
MHe PHe + Mair Pair Mmix =                        Mmix = 11.5 g/mol Eqn. B.7 from ANSI N14.5-2014 [Ref. 3]
Pmix He PHe + air Pair mix =                      mix = 0.0194 cP      Eqn B.8 from ANSI N14.5-2014 [Ref. 3]
Pmix Change in viscosity as a function of temperature was taken into consideration by using the values listed in Table 4.3.1-1, and performing linear interpolation. Mixture viscosity was determined for each temperature using the same methodology described above.

Table 4.3.1-2 provides acceptable helium leakage rates for several helium partial pressures at temperatures ranging from 31.73 &deg;F (273 K) to 130.73
&deg;F (328 K). Figure 4.3.1-2 and Table 4.3.1-2 are to be used to determine the allowable leak rate LHe for the maintenance, fabrication, and periodic leak tests of the RT-100 based on partial pressure of helium and ambient temperatures used in the test. If the measured leakage rate is below the value shown in Figure 4.3.1-2, then the leaktight criteria has been met.
4.3.2 Determination of Equivalent Reference Leakage Rate for Air For the pre-shipment leakage test described in Table 4.1.5-1, the acceptance criteria is based on standard leakage test conditions. NUREG/CR-6487 Section 2.2.6 defines the standard leak rate as corresponding to the upstream volumetric flow rate of dry air with an upstream pressure of 1.0 atmosphere, a downstream pressure of 0.01 atmospheres, and a temperature of 298 K. Tests may be performed at other conditions, provided the acceptance criterion at the testing conditions correspond to the calculated standard leakage rate acceptance criterion [Ref. 4]. The method for determining the corresponding leak rate is described in ANSI N14.5-2014 Section B.4.4 [Ref. 3].

RT-100 Safety Analysis Report, Rev. 10 Docket No. 71-9365                                                                        June 20, 2023 Two pre-shipment leak test procedures are described in Chapter 8 of this SAR; a gas-pressure rise method (Section 8.2.2.2), and a gas-pressure drop method (Section 8.2.2.3). The gas-pressure drop method requires a set of conditions different than the standard leak rate conditions. In order to simplify this leak test, a pressure differential was selected that corresponds to a sensitivity of 1x10-3 cm3/sec. Given atmospheric air pressure conditions of 1 atm and a temperature of 298K, the upstream air pressure should be 1.67 atm, as described in Calculation Package 2014-020-CALC-LT-001, Rev. 0 [Ref. 25].
4.4 Hydrogen Gas Generation Hydrogen gas buildup in loads containing waste material typically occurs due to radiolysis of hydrogenous material in the contents. As hydrogen is generated, it could potentially accumulate within the cask cavity in flammable concentrations. Based on USNRC guidance, the flammability limit of 0.05 volume fraction (mole fraction and volume fraction is interchangeable when discussing ideal gas buildup) hydrogen in air was measured in accordance with NUREG/CR-6673 Hydrogen Generation in TRU Waste Transportation Packages [Ref. 16], and supplemented with data from EPRI NP-5977 Radwaste Radiolytic Gas Generation Literature Review [Ref.
21].
Materials that make up the contents that can undergo radiolysis include primarily ion exchange resins, with lesser quantities of polystyrene and polyamides (nylon). Materials that make up the secondary container and shoring that can undergo radiolysis include polyethylene, wood, and polypropylene. Free water in the contents and moisture in the resin beads are also included in the analysis. In order to provide a bounding analysis, it is assumed that all of the decay energy in the contents produces gas generation in the waste or secondary container.
The rate of gas generation by radiolysis in these materials is dependent upon the type of incident radiation. Alpha emitters tend to generate more hydrogen per unit of energy deposited than gamma/beta emitters. Typical resin and filter waste produced at commercial nuclear power reactor facilities contains a high percentage of gamma in relation to alpha emitters. Typical examples of historical shipment data are provided with RT100-REF-01-01 Historical Cask Summaries by Waste Category [Ref. 22]. Because NUREG/CR-6673 is primarily focused on the alpha radiation predominant in TRU waste, EPRI NP-5977 is utilized to obtain gamma radiation G Values for these primary waste materials.
The typical shipment data referenced above indicates that the decay energy is approximately 90~100% from gamma radiation. In order to bound these shipments and to facilitate the utilization of a loading curve as a function of decay heat and waste volume in the cask, a decay energy distribution of 80% gamma and 20% alpha decay energy is assumed. The evaluation presented in Sections 4.4.1, 4.4.2, and 4.4.3 utilize this distribution as a way of illustrating the calculational method. Section 4.4.4 provides the user with a simplified model used to develop the loading curve Robatel Technologies, LLC                                                                    Page 4-16

RT-100 Safety Analysis Report, Rev. 10 Docket No. 71-9365                                                                    June 20, 2023 (Figure 4.4.4-1) in order to determine the maximum allowable decay heat as a function of waste volume. Section 4.4.5 provides the user with an analytical model along with a set of G Values for the bounding waste material as a function of the gamma and alpha decay energy distribution for cases that do not fit the loading curve.
Package material and content that can generate flammable gas shall be appropriately assigned as part of the ionic resin bead waste or polyethylene container when using the Loading Curve (Figure 4.4.4-1) or detailed analysis (Section 4.4.5) to determine acceptable hydrogen gas generation-related parameters of shipping time and decay heat. For example, waste filters (made of material other than polypropylene or polyethylene) shall be grouped as ionic bead waste and wood shoring would be grouped as part of the polyethylene container. If filters are made of polyethylene or polypropylene, they are to be included in the secondary container volume for the hydrogen gas generation detailed analysis. When no hydrogenous materials are included in the contents, a hydrogen buildup calculation is not required. For example, if the only radioactive contents are activated hardware and the secondary container and all shoring are metallic or non-hydrogenous, no calculations for hydrogen gas generation and buildup are required. When mixed with hydrogen generating contents, the effect of non-hydrogenous materials, such as activated hardware contents, is only from the volume that they occupy in the cavity.
4.4.1 Determination of Bounding G Values The first step in performing a gas generation calculation is to determine the G Values. As such, the following sections describe the steps in this process.
4.4.1.1 G Values for Waste and Secondary Container Materials A list of G Values is provided in Table 4.4.1-1 and are taken from NUREG/CR-6673 [Ref. 16],
EPRI NP-5977 [Ref. 21], and RH-TRU 72-B SAR [Ref. 23]. These materials represent all potential cask contents as indicated in Section 1.2.2.3, Physical and Chemical Form - Density, Moisture Content and Moderators. Potential materials in the waste that can undergo radiolysis are polystyrene, nylon, polyamides, ion exchange resins, and any residual water. Secondary container and shoring materials include polyethylene, wood and polypropylene.

The G Value of ionic resin for gamma radiation is taken from EPRI NP-5977, which indicates that fully swollen ionic exchange resins have flammable gas G Values of up to 0.62.
Ionic resins are dewatered before transport, meaning most of the free water is removed. Even in a fully dewatered state, ion exchange resin beads can contain from 50% to 66% moisture, per NUREG/CR-6673 and EPRI NP-5977. The term dewatered should not be confused with the term dry for ionic resins. Based on Section 4 of EPRI NP-5977, the G Values for fully dried resins are a factor of 10 less than swollen resin beads (from 0.001 to 0.067 in recorded experiments). As such, it can be concluded that the G values for ionic resins are primarily driven by moisture content and the values utilized in Table 4.4.1-1 already take into consideration the moisture content in the resin.
5 Based on NUREG/CR-6673, Section D.7.22 [Ref. 16], nylon is a polyamide. Polyamides are bounded by these values.
6 The GFG value for ionic resin is used for GT because no value is provided in EPRI NP-5977 [Ref. 21]. Less non-flammable gas production will decrease the amount of time required to achieve a flammable mixture, making this a bounding assumption.
7 Based on NUREG/CR-6673 Table D.1 [Ref. 16], the largest G(H2) for liquid water subjected to gamma radiation is 0.45 molecules/100eV.
8 For water, The GT value is set to the GFG value, as explained later in Section 4.4.1.1.

This results in the fraction of flammable gas to the total gas generated () of 1.0 in Equation 4.8 of NUREG/CR-6673 [Ref. 16]. Including oxygen in the total gas generation from the radiolysis of water would decrease the mole fraction of hydrogen (XH) in the free gas volume. This is because the alpha term would be less than 1.0. Thus, using the value of 1.0 would yield the most bounding result.
4.4.1.2 Calculation of Effective G Values Table 4.4.1-1 lists the G Values for the hydrogenous material that could be transported in the cask.
Both alpha and gamma G Values are provided for the most predominant waste contents of resin and water. For other materials, the more conservative alpha radiation values are utilized. As noted in Section 4.4, hydrogen gas generation calculations for typical resin waste contents are performed assuming that the decay energy of the waste is 80% gamma and 20% alpha. The effective G Values for these materials is calculated using these fractions applied to the corresponding G Value.
Materials without a gamma G Value are taken as the alpha G Value. The effective G Values are provided in Table 4.4.1-2.

This is contingent upon the activation energy of the material being shipped in the cask. The activation energies for the materials used in the hydrogen generation calculations are shown in Table 4.4.1-3, and are based on Table 3.11 of NUREG/CR-6673 and RH-TRU 72-B Appendices [Ref. 23]. The activation energy for ionic resin is not specifically listed in NUREG/CR-6673, but RH-TRU 72-B SAR specifies that organic resins have an activation energy of 2.1 kcal/mole.

While polyamides have a slightly higher G(flammable gas) value than the resins, resins were chosen as the bounding contents because resins have a much higher density when loaded than the polyamides which form a small part of filters. In addition, hydrolysis of polyamides produces nonflammable gas which would tend to dilute hydrogen concentration. If polyethylene or polypropylene filters are loaded into the cask, their volumes shall be accounted for as a polyethylene secondary container in the calculation. Therefore, resin and water are selected for utilization in the gas generation calculations.
The secondary container and shoring materials are assumed to be polyethylene. Like polyamides in the waste, wood has a slightly higher G Value than polyethylene. However, wood has a significantly higher total gas G Value, which offsets the impact of flammable gas generation by generating more than 2 moles of non-flammable gas for every mole of flammable gas.
Additionally, the wood would be present only in limited quantities as shoring material on the outside of the secondary container.

In fact, much of the gamma radiation emitted from the waste escapes the cavity and is absorbed in the casks lead shielding material.
These G values are then utilized to calculate the hydrogen gas generation rates as described in Section 4.4.3.
4.4.2 Hydrogen Gas Generation by Radiolysis For the hydrogen generation evaluation, the RT-100 is treated as a single rigid non-leaking enclosure. Using Equation 4.8 on page 31 of NUREG/CR-6673 [Ref. 16], an equation characterizing the mole fraction of hydrogen (or flammable gas) in the RT-100 over time for a single material generating hydrogen is shown below.

Based on Section 5 of NUREG/CR-6673 [Ref. 16], shipping periods other than one year need to be defined as one half the time it takes for hydrogen to accumulate in the package to a concentration equivalent to the lower flammability limit. To ensure that this is taken into consideration in the calculations, the equation above has been adjusted to incorporate a multiple of 2 times the shipping period required. Equation 4.4 is also limited to providing hydrogen mole fraction over time for one hydrogenous material. In this analysis there are three hydrogenous materials that are taken into consideration, water in the waste material, the resin, and the polyethylene container.

Determining the fraction of decay heat energy absorbed by the free water in the waste material (FW), ionic resin and stainless steel filters in the waste material (Fi), and by the polyethylene container, shoring, and polyethylene or polypropylene filters in the waste material (FC) is approximated by assuming that the energy absorbed is proportional to the volume of the material in question divided by the total volume of hydrogenous material being shipped in the cask. It is assumed the decay heat is entirely absorbed by hydrogenous materials and none is absorbed or dissipated by the activated hardware contents which is conservative. Thus, the fractions can be described as follows:
                                              =
                                                      +  +

where: VW            = volume of free water in the waste Vi        = volume of dewatered10, ionic resin in the waste, including absorbed moisture, and stainless steel filters in the waste material VC        = volume occupied by the secondary container, shoring, and polyethylene or polypropylene filters in the waste material Water is present in resin bead shipments in two distinct forms; one is absorbed moisture within the resin bead itself; the other is free water that is present between the resin beads. The absorbed moisture within the resin bead is considered in the hydrogen generation analysis as it is incorporated into G Value of the resins.
9 For water, The GT value is set to the GFG value to obtain an  value of 1.0.
10 The term dewatered resin refers to resins in which free water has been removed from between the resin beads at the time of preparation for storage or transportation. The amount of free water in dewatered resins is typically around 1% after mechanical draining (EPRI NP-5977 Radwaste Radiolytic Gas Generation Literature Review, page 10 [Ref. 21]). The term dewatered should not be confused with dry. Dewatered resin beads shipped in the RT-100 could have a moisture content up to 50~66% based on NUREG/CR-4062 Extended Storage of Low-Level Radioactive Waste, Potential Problem Areas [Ref. 20], and EPRI NP-5977.

The ionic resin beads are assumed to be uniform spheres. Since the random packing fraction for uniform spheres is 0.64 [Ref. 5], the remaining free space (0.36) of the waste volume is assumed to be 0.11 air and 0.25 water to account for grossly dewatered material content. Thus, the volumes of ionic resin and water in the waste can be described as follows:
                          = (0.99)(0.25) + (0.01) = (0.2575)
                          = (0.99)(0.64) = (0.6336)
As noted, the assumed content is either dewatered resin or grossly dewatered resin. The amount of free water in dewatered resins10 is typically around 1% after mechanical draining, by regulation no more than 1% to meet disposal requirements. Grossly dewatered resins have a higher free water amount that shall be limited to 20% of the ionic resin volume (20.75% of the waste volume).
Therefore, the amount of free water assumed (25.75% of waste volume) thus represents a free water volume that bounds the dewatered resin state by an order of magnitude, and bounds the grossly dewatered resin state by around 25%, and was chosen to represent a bounding condition for hydrogen generation.
Therefore, the fraction of decay heat energy absorbed by the water in the waste volume (FW), ionic resin and stainless steel filters in the waste volume (Fi), and by the polyethylene container, shoring, and polyethylene or polypropylene filter (FC) are equivalent to:
0.2575
                          =
(0.2575 + 0.6336 +  )
0.6336
                          =
(0.2575 + 0.6336 +  )
                          =
(0.2575 + 0.6336 +  )
The remaining 0.11 fraction of ionic resin volume is air. The remaining fraction of air volume in the ionic resin is taken into consideration in the total free gas volume (V). Where the free gas volume (V) is equivalent to the total cavity volume (4.60x106 cm3) minus the sum of the container, shoring, and polyethylene or polypropylene filter volume (VC), water volume (VW), the ionic resin and stainless steel filter volume (Vi), and the volume of any activated hardware contents (VH), as applicable.
                          = (4.60 x 106 3 )  ( +  +  +  )
                          = (4.60 x 106 3 )  ( + 0.2575 + 0.6336 +  )
                          = (4.60 x 106 3 )    0.8911 Robatel Technologies, LLC                                                                  Page 4-27

The final step to solving the equation is determining the free gas volume which will vary based on the inventory in the RT-100. The maximum cavity volume is known to be 4.60x106 cm3 (162.37 ft3) based on Table 4.1.5-2. In order to determine the free gas volume an approximation of the volume occupied by the polyethylene liner needs to be made. The guiding technical issue in determining the free gas volume is to maximize the hydrogen gas mole fraction buildup rate that then results in a conservative shipping time (limiting the allowable shipping time). A greater hydrogen mole fraction buildup rate in the cavity is produced by minimizing the free gas volume of the cavity. Minimizing the available free gas volume is accomplished by using the polyethylene container with the largest container volume. Exhibit A of Cask Procurement Agreement dated April 10, 2012 [Ref. 17], provides the burial volume, maximum internal volume, and empty weight of various containers, and is shown in Table 4.4.3-2.
The container volume may be calculated from the empty weight and material density. In order to calculate the largest container volume, a minimum material density is used. The material density of high density polyethylene is 0.959 g/cm3, while the material density of plain carbon steel is 7.85 g/cm3 [Ref. 24]. For a bounding assumption, and to take into account empty liner weight tolerances, the densities were reduced by 10%, resulting in a density of 0.863 g/cm3 (53.88 lb/ft3) for polyethylene and 7.065 g/cm3 (441.05 lb/ft3) for steel. The result is that the EL-142 container has the largest container volume of 27.02 ft3. A volume of 30.1 ft3 was used in the analysis to represent the volume occupied by the secondary container and any shoring. Therefore, the maximum free gas volume (no waste volume) is 132.27 ft3. If a different container is used in the RT-100 transport cask, the equations generated in this section of the SAR can be adjusted.

As described in Section 4.4.1.3 this is considered a bounding assumption based on material G Values. Use of a steel liner listed in Table 4.4.3-2 is considered acceptable because steel does not contribute to hydrogen gas generation.
Given the 10 day limiting transport time, the concern is how much waste volume and decay heat is acceptable for the individual shipments. The waste volume is then equal to the maximum cavity volume subtracted by the free gas volume and the polyethylene container volume.
A loading curve of allowable decay heat as a function of waste volume is provided in Section 4.4.4 for a specific set of waste parameters, including G-Values based on a bounding decay heat distribution of 80% gamma and 20% alpha. Additionally, in case a detailed analysis is performed, a procedure is given in Section 4.4.5, and a list of effective G Values for other distributions of gamma and alpha radiation is provided in Table 4.4.5-2.

RT-100 Safety Analysis Report, Rev. 10 Docket No. 71-9365                                                                      June 20, 2023 4.4.4 Hydrogen Gas Generation - Simplified Model used to develop Loading Curve Using Equation 4.7, the decay heat limit versus waste volume can be determined for a limit of 5%
in the cavity free volume. Figure 4.4.4-1 provides a curve illustrating the waste volume to decay heat value that would result in the generation of a flammable gas mixture within 10 days assuming that all decay heat is absorbed by the waste material and the polyethylene container. The calculation assumes that the hydrogen generation occurs over a period of time that is twice the allowable shipping time. Note that for this simplified model, similar to the filter materials, any activated hardware waste in the contents is grouped as ionic bead waste and is assumed to be hydrogen generating. The non-hydrogen gas generating characteristic of the hardware waste is only credited in the analytical model for the hydrogen gas buildup calculations outlined in Section 4.4.5.
For most shipments, this simplified graphical model (Loading Curve) can be used to determine the maximum heat load. However, use of the Loading Curve is limited to the restrictions noted in Table 4.4.4-1. One restriction of using the Loading Curve is that the secondary container is listed in Table 4.4.3-2, or is a container of equivalent material volume.
If the waste volume and decay heat values for the contents fall below the Loading Curve illustrated in Figure 4.4.4-1, and the restrictions listed in Table 4.4.4-1 are met, the load would not generate a flammable gas mixture during shipment. Otherwise, the user must perform a more detailed calculation of hydrogen generation for their specific contents and expected shipping time using the information provided in Section 4.4.5. The use of this calculation ensures that the requirements of NUREG/CR-6673 [Ref. 16] are met.

Waste has been dewatered or grossly      The loading curve assumes a free water volume of 25.75%. The main dewatered                                effect of free water is to limit the void volume in the cavity, thereby increasing the hydrogen mole fraction. Since the loading curve assumes 25.75% free water for a hydrogen concentration of 5% or less, shippers must ensure that the limit is not exceeded.
No limit on moisture content of resin    The G-values for resins, as noted in Table 5.3 of EPRI NP-5977, are for resins with high moisture contents (i.e., swollen resin).

Activated hardware only shipments do not require hydrogen gas analysis.
2  Waste has been grossly dewatered.
3  Secondary containers are passively vented within the cask cavity during shipment.
The user may measure the decay heat of the cask contents (DH) in order to calculate the maximum allowable shipping time (tmax) using Equation 4.8.
Alternately, the user may know the shipment time (t) and calculate the maximum allowable decay heat of the cask contents (DH,max) using Equation 4.9.
Initial pressure (P0) and initial temperature (T0) may be measured by the user at the time of loading.
The volume occupied by the secondary container, shoring, and polyethylene or polypropylene filters in the waste (VC), the volume occupied by the ionic resin and stainless steel filters in the waste material (VWASTE), and the activated hardware volume (VH) are known.
The use of different G-values (GTi, GTC, GTW) and  fractions (i, C, W) must be justified by the user based on waste characterization. These variables must be adjusted for the transport temperature of 80&deg;C as described in Section 4.4.1.3, in order to meet the requirements of NUREG/CR-6673 [Ref. 16].
The values must also be adjusted for the appropriate alpha/gamma radiation distribution. One example of this adjustment is provided in Table 4.4.5-2 for the same G-values in the bounding case loading curve for the 80% gamma/20% alpha decay heat distribution.
Note 2: Alternatively, the user can follow the NUREG/CR-6673 requirements to determine the shipping time to reach a hydrogen concentration of 5%. The shipping time has to be defined as 1/2 the time to reach the 5% hydrogen concentration per the requirement in NUREG/CR-6673 [Ref.
16].

: 5. SHIELDING EVALUATION This Chapter describes the RT-100 shielding evaluation under the RT Quality Assurance Program
[Ref. 1] and summarizes the results to demonstrate compliance with the shielding requirements of 10 CFR 71 [Ref. 2]. The RT-100 cask package is designed to transport radioactive materials including contaminated resin and filter media from nuclear power plant operation, as well as activated hardware (low and high-density hardware). The RT-100 has a robust gamma shielding design comprised of a steel/lead/steel body with a steel primary lid and a steel/lead/steel secondary lid. The primary lid is bolted onto the body, and the secondary lid is bolted into the primary lid.
Both lids, along with their O-ring seals provide secure containment of the radioactive material contents. Analyses presented in this chapter demonstrate that the shielding design produces dose rates below the external radiation requirements of 10 CFR 71 [Ref. 2] under Normal Conditions of Transport (NCT) and Hypothetical Accident Conditions (HAC). The package and vehicle radiation limits are for exclusive use of an open (flat-bed) transport vehicle. Operating limits are established for the specific activities of individual radionuclides (Ci/g) allowed in the contents of the package.
The RT-100 is designed in compliance with the external radiation standards that are specified in 10 CFR Part 71 [Ref. 2] as:
* The RT-100 is designed, constructed, and prepared for shipment so that the external radiation levels will not significantly increase under the tests specified in 10 CFR 71.71 (Normal Conditions of Transport) in accordance with 10 CFR 71.43(f) and 10 CFR 71.51(a)(1).
* Under NCT tests specified in 10 CFR 71.71, the external radiation levels meet the requirements of 10 CFR 71.47(b) for exclusive-use shipments.
* Under HAC tests specified in 10 CFR 71.73, the external radiation level does not exceed 10 mSv/hr (1 rem/hr) at one meter from the surface of the package in accordance with 10 CFR 71.51(a)(2).
The shielding evaluation is based on the descriptions and evaluations presented in the General Information, Structural Evaluation and Thermal Evaluation sections of the application. Results of the shielding evaluation are considered in the preparation of Operating Procedures and the Acceptance Tests and Maintenance Program. An example of information flow for the shielding evaluation is shown in Figure 5-1.
The approach used to calculate the maximum allowable limits is intended to assure that the maximum activity of each radionuclide includes sufficient margin to ensure that the maximum dose rates of a loaded RT-100 cask will comply with regulatory dose rate limits. The process used to calculate the radionuclide-specific source strength densities (Ci/g) is summarized as:

: 1. Shielding Model package geometry, materials, source definition, tallies An MCNP6 shielding model is constructed using the minimum shielding material thicknesses, and assumes that the maximum activity concentration of a specific radionuclide completely fills the cask cavity with no credit given for attenuation provided by secondary containers. Separate tallies are defined in the shielding model to determine the peak external dose rate at all locations required by the regulations (i.e. package surface, 1m, 2m). The input file for MCNP6 is a shielding model that represents the package geometry, materials, source definition, and tallies as described in Section 5.3 and 5.4.1.1.
: 2. External dose rates for package transport conditions The shielding analysis, to determine external dose rates for the RT-100 package, is performed with MCNP6 [Ref. 3]. The output from MCNP6 is a dose rate response in mrem/hr/Ci for each of the generic source energies that has been modified by fluence-to-dose conversion factors and is normalized per 1 Curie of activity. A detailed description of the shielding analysis method is provided in Section 5.4.1.2.
The actual dose rate associated with a particular radionuclide in the cask contents is a function of the package shielding configuration, the interaction of emitted radiation with the cask contents, and the spectrum of radiation emitted from decay of the radionuclides.
Since there are numerous potential radionuclides in the cask contents (as discussed in Section 5.2) with each radionuclide having an emission spectrum containing multiple energy levels, it is impractical to explicitly analyze each energy level for each potential radionuclide separately. Rather, a finite number of energy levels are selected that are representative of the expected range of radiation energies from all radionuclides. The shielding analysis is performed for each of these representative energy levels, referred to in this evaluation as generic energies. The generic energy source term used for the calculation assumes the probability of particle emission is 100 percent per disintegration, and the actual emission probability (i.e. intensity) is accounted for in the dose rate response calculation for individual nuclides.
: 3. Dose rate response for individual radionuclides The MCNP6 shielding evaluation calculates the dose rate responses for a finite set of generic source energies, independent of the radionuclide responsible for the particle emission. In this evaluation, 26 discrete generic energies were analyzed. The generic energy dose rate responses from MCNP6 are processed and used as input to calculate the dose rate response for individual radionuclides. The method utilized to determine the dose rates from 1 Curie of a specific radionuclide uses the calculated responses of the generic energy lines to determine the response at each energy line of the respective radionuclide.
A radionuclide dose rate response in mrem/hr/Ci is calculated by summing the determined dose rate responses for all energy lines of the respective radionuclide.
The dose rates for the most significant radionuclides are calculated separately from the Robatel Technologies, LLC                                                                    Page 5-2

The radionuclides considered individually in this analysis are: Co-60, Zn-65, Fe-59, Mn-54, Co-58, Ag-110m, Cs-134, and Cs-137. A detailed description of the method used to calculate radionuclide dose rate responses is provided in Section 5.4.1.2.
: 4. Calculate the maximum allowable source strength density Based on the maximum possible mass of resin material in the RT-100, the regulatory dose rate at a given location, and the calculated radionuclide dose rate response at the respective regulatory location, a maximum quantity of each radionuclide allowed to be transported in the cask is specified in the form of specific activities (Ci/g), also referred to as the source strength density. The radionuclide-specific source strength densities are used to verify that the actual contents being shipped will comply with the regulatory requirements for external radiation levels. The maximum allowed source strength densities calculated in the shielding evaluation are used in an operating procedure, referred to as the loading table, which is used for mixtures of radionuclides. A detailed description of the method used to calculate the maximum allowable source strength is provided in Section 5.4.1.3.
The actual contents can vary significantly for shipments; therefore, it is not practical to explicitly evaluate the actual contents that are shipped. This methodology is used to imply a dose rate associated with a particular mixture of radionuclides in the contents by calculating an effective source strength density that is a sum of the fraction of the maximum allowable source strength densities for the individual radionuclides. A sum of the fractions for radionuclide-specific maximum allowable source strength densities that is less than or equal to 1.0 implies that the external radiation levels meet the regulatory limits. Further description of the loading table operating procedure is provided in Chapter 7, Section 7.6.1 of this SAR.

RT-100 Safety Analysis Report, Rev. 10 Docket No. 71-9365                                                                      June 20, 2023 5.1 Description of Shielding Design A description of the shielding design, as well as a summary of the results of the analysis for this design is provided below.
5.1.1 Design Features The RT-100 body is a right circular cylinder 2060 mm in diameter and 2324 mm in height without the impact limiters attached. The cavity of the RT-100 is 1730 mm in diameter and 1956 mm in height. Surrounding the cavity are the cask radial wall, cask bottom wall, primary lid and a secondary lid embedded in the primary lid. The cask radial wall comprises 30 mm of steel, 90 mm of lead and 35 mm of steel for gamma shielding. The cask bottom wall comprises 50 mm of steel, 75 mm of lead and 30 mm of steel for gamma shielding. The primary lid comprises 210 mm of steel for gamma shielding. Embedded in the primary lid is a secondary lid that comprises 100 mm of steel, 60 mm of lead and 10 mm of steel for gamma shielding. The primary lid is 2016 mm in diameter and the secondary lid is 1000 mm in diameter. Under transport conditions, the top and bottom impact limiters provide additional gamma shielding from the 10 mm inner steel shell, polyurethane foam and 4 mm outer steel shell.
Dimensional tolerances and material densities used in the shielding evaluations are given in Section 5.3.1 and Section 5.3.2, respectively.
During normal conditions of transport, shielding evaluations assume that the RT-100 is transported on a truck trailer that is 2438.4 mm wide and 12801.6 mm long with the cask tied down in the center. Thus, the 2 meter radial surface is 3219.2 mm from the cask centerline and the distance to the cab, taking into account the trailer hookup and the distance to back of cab, is 8915.4 mm from the cask centerline. This is a conservative assumption since the actual occupied position is at least 1828.8 mm forward from the back of the cab. A visual representation of the dose locations is provided in Figure 5.4.4-4.
5.1.2 Summary Table of Maximum Radiation Levels The transport regulations provide dose limits in 10 CFR 71.47 and 71.51 at locations external to the package for rates for both Normal Conditions of Transport (NCT) and Hypothetical Accident Conditions (HAC). A full discussion of the methods employed to analyze the RT-100 cask design and results of applying these methods that demonstrate compliance with the regulatory limits are presented in the sections that follow. Table 5.1.2-1 shown below summarizes the calculated results for the maximum radiation levels allowed for exclusive use shipment using an open (flat-bed) transport vehicle under NCT and HAC for the worst-case loading of radionuclides in spent resin/filter material. These results represent the maximum dose rates for the worst-case allowable contents as presented in Section 5.4.4.

Note 1:  The gamma dose rates are each calculated for a contents limit corresponding to a limiting regulatory dose rate. These values are the maximum of all the radionuclides that were evaluated in Section 5.4.4.5.
Note 2:  Typical contents will not contain a significant neutron source term.
5.2 Source Specification The RT-100 is designed to transport nuclear plant radioactive resins/filters and activated hardware.
This content is described in Chapter 1, Section 1.2.2. The radionuclides in these resins, filters, and activated hardware wastes produce primarily gamma emissions and trace neutron emissions from actinide spontaneous fission and alpha-n reactions in the media.
The shielding evaluation for the RT-100 calculates a dose rate response that is normalized to one Curie (mrem/hr/Ci) for each radionuclide with a half-life greater than 1 day. Thus, the gamma dose rate responses are specified on a per Curie basis. The total dose rate will be based on the loaded activity, in Curies, of the resin or filter media. In general, the gamma source terms decrease over time.
5.2.1 Gamma Source Gamma spectra, i.e. the photon lines, are explicitly evaluated in the RT-100 shielding evaluation for radionuclides with greater than 1 day half-life. The radionuclide gamma spectra and intensities are taken from the SCALE 6.0 ORIGEN-S data libraries: origen.rev02.mpdkxgam.dat [Ref. 4].
This data file was reformatted into an Excel file for use in the generic energy dependent response approach to compute radionuclide dose rates from a one Curie source for each radionuclide.
The ORIGEN-S radionuclide data library origen.rev04.endfdec.data [Ref. 5] was read to determine all radionuclides with greater than 1 day half-life for use in the generic approach to compute radionuclide specific gamma dose rates.

The selection details and associated spectra data file are provided in the ORIGEN-S: Data Libraries [Ref. 4]. Due to the magnitude of the data, all gamma source terms cannot be provided in the SAR, but the gamma spectra for 1 Curie Co-60 is shown in Table 5.2.1-1. Co-60 is the dominant gamma emitter and dose rate contributor from resins and filter media.

Beta Emitter/ Bremsstrahlung source Another source of gamma radiation is from radionuclide beta emission Bremsstrahlung (braking radiation). Contributions from Bremsstrahlung gamma radiation have been evaluated by explicit mode e-p (electron-photon) transport calculation. The following radionuclides with beta Emax > 2 MeV were evaluated, as well as Cs-137, due to its typical high activity in resins and filters:
Y-90      Emax = 2.281 MeV Sb-124    Emax = 2.302 MeV Cs-137    Emax = 1.175 MeV La-140    Emax = 2.165 MeV Ce-144    Emax = 2.996 MeV Binned radionuclide beta source spectra are compiled in Calculation Package RTL-001-CALC-SH-0101, Rev. 1 [Ref. 6]. As discussed in Section 5.4.4.3, an assessment of the contribution to exterior dose rates from Bremsstrahlung due to these fission product beta emitting radionuclides is evaluated for the RT-100 NCT configuration and found to contribute less than 1.0 percent of the total dose due to gamma radiation. Therefore, gamma radiation from Bremsstrahlung is not included in the determination of maximum allowed source strength densities.
5.2.2 Neutron Source The RT-100 cask is not designed for shielding neutrons, thus neutron emitters in the contents are limited to trace amounts that may be present in the activated resin and filter media. For this packaging, any neutron source is limited to 3.5E-06 Ci/g, based on Class C burial limits.

For evaluation purposes, the thicknesses of shielding materials that comprise the package (steel shells, lead shielding, and lids) are reduced by subtracting the manufacturing tolerance from the nominal dimensions. Using minimum thicknesses of shielding materials in the model bounds any effect that a variation in thickness due to fabrication tolerances may have on external dose rates. A summary of the nominal and minimum shield thicknesses is given in Table 5.3-1. For the NCT Proprietary Information Content Withheld Under 10 CFR 2.390(b) responses. The shielding from the high integrity container (HIC) used to store and transfer resin into the RT-100 cavity is neglected in the shielding evaluations. The effects of resin and filter density changes and redistribution of the content media due to NCT and HAC are modeled by decreasing the volume occupied by the source term.

RT-100 Safety Analysis Report, Rev. 10 Docket No. 71-9365                                                                          June 20, 2023 5.3.2 Material Properties Materials used for the fabrication of the RT-100 are stainless steel and lead in the body, and for the fabrication of the impact limiters the materials used are polyurethane and stainless steel. The material properties used in the shielding evaluations are shown in Table 5.3.2-1. No changes in material properties are expected under Normal Conditions of Transport or Hypothetical Accident Conditions. Melting of the lead will not occur based on the thermal evaluation in Chapter 3. Also, the shielding properties of these materials will not degrade during the service life of the RT-100.
Contents transported in the RT-100 are resins and filter media. The following four materials, typical of resins and filter media, are considered as the cask contents:
o  Polystyrene based resins such as Duralite o  Activated Charcoal o  Nylon filter media o  Zeolite - hydrated aluminosilicates such as Faujasite In the case of nylon filter media, any steel cartridge structure is neglected and the cavity is assumed to be completely filled with nylon material at a reduced density. It is established in CN-13039-502
[Ref. 8] that carbon (activated charcoal) is the least effective shielding material between the four materials considered, and thus calculates the most restrictive specific activity (Ci/g) limits for all radionuclides, so in the shielding analysis the contents are modeled as carbon for both NCT and HAC.
The densities for resin and filter materials can vary quite a lot depending on the size of the particles, configuration of the filter media (i.e. tubes or fiber sheets) and the theoretical density of the material. The theoretical densities of polystyrene, carbon, Faujasite and nylon are 1.04, 2.2, 1.93 and 1.08 g/cm3, respectively, but resin media bulk densities for all the typical material compositions can vary from 0.3 to 1.0 g/cm3. It is established in CN-13039-502 [Ref. 8] that a contents density of 1 g/cm&#xb3; calculates the most restrictive specific activity (Ci/g) limits for all radionuclides, so the shielding analysis uses this density for the modeled contents media for both NCT and HAC.
For all bottom dose rate response calculations, a 10% compaction of the resin is considered, and the results from the shielding analysis are adjusted to consider this variation, though the bottom dose rate locations are never the limiting case.

Post processing of the energy dependent responses into detailed dose rate responses (mrem/hr/Ci) is performed for all radionuclides and is shown in Tables 5.7.2-1 and 5.7.2-2. Using these responses and the content activity loading, the total dose rate in mrem/hr can be computed for NCT and HAC conditions. This is demonstrated in Section 5.4.4.5 for the maximum source strength density of Co-60. A guide is provided in Appendix 5.7.4 that relates the process steps to the input and output files used for the shielding evaluation.
5.4.3 Flux-to-Dose Rate Conversion MCNP6 [Ref. 3] calculates a photon flux (particles/s-cm2) at a particular tally or detector location given the source magnitude. These values are converted into dose by use of flux-to-dose response functions. This conversion is done internally in MCNP6 [Ref. 3] by associating dose response functions to each tally in the input file. Gamma flux-to-dose response functions used in these calculations are listed in Table 5.4.3-1.

RT-100 Safety Analysis Report, Rev. 10 Docket No. 71-9365                                                                              June 20, 2023 5.4.4 External Radiation Levels The maximum external radiation levels are determined by the quantity of each radionuclide in the resin and filter media that is to be shipped. This limiting quantity of each radionuclide is determined by the respective source strength density limit of each. For the radionuclides considered, the source strength density is always limited by either the NCT 2 meter or the HAC side 1 meter regulatory limits. Thus, the maximum dose rate that can be measured at any regulatory location can only be equal to the regulatory limit at the NCT 2 meter or the HAC side 1 meter locations. For example, for radionuclides whose source strength density is limited by the NCT 2 meter location, the maximum dose rate at 2 meters from the edge of the vehicle is 9.5 mrem/hr and the dose rate at all other regulatory locations will be some amount less than the regulatory limit for that location because the source strength density is based on the NCT 2 meter location.
Likewise, for radionuclides whose source strength density is limited by the HAC side 1 meter location, the maximum dose rate at 1 meter from the package surface is 950 mrem/hr and the dose rate at all other regulatory locations will be some amount less than the regulatory limit at that location.
Table 5.7.2-1 and Table 5.7.2-2 give the complete list of gamma radionuclide responses. Using these responses and the respective source strength density limits in Table 5.7.3-1, the total dose rate in mrem/hr at each regulatory location can be computed for any radionuclide as described in Section 5.4.4.5. The maximum dose rates under NCT and HAC from each radionuclide individually are shown in Table 5.4.4-5 and Table 5.4.4-6. Table 5.4.4-1 provides a summary of the maximum calculated dose rate at each regulatory location, and the radionuclide responsible for each maximum dose rate. Combining contributions from multiple radionuclides, as is done in the loading table, can only result in a dose rate at each regulatory location that is equal to or less than the maximum values reported below in Table 5.4.4-1.

RT-100 Safety Analysis Report, Rev. 10 Docket No. 71-9365                                                                          June 20, 2023 5.4.4.1 MCNP6 Statistics Evaluation 5.4.4.1.1 Tally Statistics Diagnostics MCNP6 produces information about a simulation to allow the user to assess the precision (not the accuracy) of the result. MCNP6 provides 10 statistical tests performed on the tally for assessing the reliability of results. If any of the 10 tests are not met, they are recorded as NO. MCNP6 automatically produces additional output to aid the user in interpreting the cause of the failed tests.
The 10 tests are summarized as, Tally Mean, x
: 1.      The mean must exhibit, for the last half of the problem, only random fluctuations as N increases. No up or down trends must be exhibited.
Relative Error, R
: 2.      R must be less than 0.1 (0.05 for point/ring detectors).
: 3.      R must decrease monotonically with N for the last half of the problem.
: 4.      R must decrease as 1/N for the last half of the problem.
Variance of the Variance, VOV:
: 5.      The magnitude of the VOV must be less than 0.1 for all types of tallies.
: 6.      VOV must decrease monotonically for the last half of the problem.
: 7.      VOV must decrease as 1/N for the last half of the problem.
Figure of Merit, FOM:
: 8.      FOM must remain statistically constant for the last half of the problem.
: 9.      FOM must exhibit no monotonic up or down trends in the last half of the problem.
Tally PDF, f(x)
: 10.      The SLOPE determined from the 201 largest scoring events must be greater than 3.
The MCNP Manual states that A tally is considered to be converged with high confidence only when it passes all ten statistical checks [Ref. 3]. Every tally in all MCNP6 outputs in the shielding analysis passes all 10 statistical tests, indicating that the reported results are reliable.
5.4.4.1.2 Fractional Standard Deviation of Individual Tally Segments Of all tally bins included in the 72 MCNP outputs for the gamma shielding analysis, there are a total of 17 bins with reported fractional standard deviations larger than the MCNP6 requirement for reliable results (fsd<0.10). These tally segment bins with a fractional standard deviation greater than 0.1 are far from the maximum segment, with a calculated dose rate that is orders of magnitude less than the value reported at the maximum segment. This is shown for Cs-137 in Figure 5.4.1-1, where it can be noted that the tally segments that dont meet the fsd requirement are on the bottom impact limiter, with reported dose rates that are multiple orders of magnitude less than the segments at the axial location of the streaming peak. All maximum dose rate segments have an fsd of 0.05 or less, most being significantly lower.

RT-100 Safety Analysis Report, Rev. 10 Docket No. 71-9365                                                                      June 20, 2023 5.4.4.2 Media Composition and Density The effect of the media composition is addressed in calculation RTL-001-CALC-SH-0201 Section 7.7.2 Content Density and Material Variation [Ref. 7]. The MCNP calculations for the final dose rate response functions of the 8 radionuclides considered individually are performed using carbon at a density of 1.00 g/cm3 as the material composition and density. Parametric studies were performed to evaluate the effect of other media compositions (polystyrene, nylon, and zeolite) and media densities in the range from 0.65 to 1.0 g/cm3 on the dose rate response. The maximum allowable source strength density (Ci/g) decreases slightly with increasing material density and carbon material composition results in the most limiting source strength density. The final dose rate responses used to calculate the maximum source strength densities are calculated modeling the resin media as carbon at 1 g/cm&#xb3;, instead of adjusting the calculated dose rate responses for polystyrene at 0.65 g/cm&#xb3; using correction factors as originally discussed in Section 7.7.2 of the calculation RTL-001-CALC-SH-0201 [Ref. 7].
5.4.4.2.1 Effect of Media Composition The effect of media composition was evaluated by calculating the dose rate response for the generic energies using the typical resin and filter material compositions at a fixed material density, 0.65 g/cc. The ratio X(r,) between the dose rate calculated for each media composition  and the base case (polystyrene) is determined for each radionuclide X at each regulatory dose rate limit location r. A comparison of the average of the calculated ratios is presented in Table 5.4.4-2, where it is shown that modeling activated carbon as the attenuating media results in the highest calculated dose rates.

Content loading limits (i.e. specific source strength densities) for the RT-100 are determined using regulatory dose rate limits. These regulatory limits are reduced by 5 percent to account for any uncertainty in representing the packaging and the characterization of the contents. The uncertainties and margins are summarized in Figure 5.4.4-2.

5.4.4.3.1.1 Radiation Source Generation Generation of the source specification is discussed in detail in Section 5.2.
Bremsstrahlung The dose rate from Bremsstrahlung is not included, as this source term accounts for less than 1%
of the regulatory dose rate limit, and there is no significant uncertainty associated with the radiation source definition for gammas.
An evaluation of the contribution of Beta/Bremsstrahlung radiation to external dose rates was performed in the calculation report RTL-001-CALC-SH-0201. The NCT results for this analysis Robatel Technologies, LLC                                                                      Page 5-31

Based on this assessment, the contribution of Beta/Bremsstrahlung to exterior doses on the RT-100 can be neglected as long as the beta activity is well below 60,000 Curies (the Curie content of Ce-144 that would produce 1% of the chosen dose rate limit for two meters, or 0.095 mrem/hr). The 3000 A2 limit precludes the shipment of sufficient Curies of the beta/bremsstrahlung emitting isotopes to exceed the 1% of the total dose rate limit at two meters, and the bremsstrahlung gamma response functions are therefore omitted from the loading tables.

Rounding up the gamma energies of the specific radionuclides to the nearest generic energy line may result in a 1.5% to 40% increase in dose rates depending on the radionuclide.
5.4.4.3.1.2 Cross Section Data The use of continuous pointwise energy cross section data libraries in MCNP6 eliminates any uncertainty due to the choice of energy-collapsing spectrum and parent fine-group data.
5.4.4.3.1.3 Radiation Transport Codes The use of MCNP6 to calculate the dose rate responses is discussed in detail in Section 5.4.1.2.
The mean tally value plus two standard deviations as calculated by MCNP6 is used to calculate the limiting dose rate responses. Adding two standard deviations to the calculated average value means that there is at least a 95% confidence that the calculated dose rate response will be less than the limiting dose rate response.
5.4.4.3.2 Attenuation from other material (i.e. secondary containers) not included in shielding analysis The secondary container is fabricated using approximately 1.27 cm thickness polyethylene. The half-value layer (HVL) for polyethylene for 1 MeV for gammas is approximately 15 cm. The Robatel Technologies, LLC                                                                Page 5-32

5.4.4.3.3 Nominal Media Bulk Density The bulk density of dewatered resins is typically less than 1 g/cm3. Compliance with the regulatory dose rate limits is demonstrated using the limiting source strength density values for a bulk density of 1 g/cm3. When the maximum allowed source strength density (i.e. the value at 1 g/cm3) is used to estimate the expected dose rate for media densities less than 1 g/cm3, the calculated dose rate is greater than the estimated dose rate using the source strength density (Ci/g) for 1 g/cm 3, and the actual media density (g/cm3) and associated dose rate response (mrem/hr/Ci). An example of this conservatism is shown in Figure 5.4.4-3.
Figure 5.4.4-3        Example of Media Density Effect 5.4.4.4 Loading Table Ultimately, a loading table specifying the maximum Curies per gram of each radionuclide is developed. The maximum Curies per gram are defined as the minimum specific activity at which the regulatory dose rate limit for either NCT or HAC is met. For conservatism 5% lower than the regulatory limits is assumed, thus the NCT limit at the package surface is taken as 190 mrem/hr, at 2 meters from the transport vehicle as 9.5 mrem/hr and the cab limit is taken as 1.9 mrem/hr.
Similarly, the HAC limit at 1 meter is evaluated at 950 mrem/hr.
For NCT, the maximum source strength density (Ci/g) is computed as the minimum of the following:

Whichever condition is more limiting, either NCT or HAC determines the maximum Curies per gram of a particular radionuclide X. Section 5.5, Appendix 5.5.3 gives the complete list of the maximum allowable source strength density (Ci/g) limits for each of the gamma emitting radionuclides and for each of the predominant neutron emitting radionuclides. These limits are based on resin or filter material at a density of 1.0 g/cm3 filling the entire cavity of the RT-100 (4597809 total grams).
In the loading table, the actual source strength density for each radionuclide is divided by the maximum allowable source strength density from the shielding evaluations, and the results summed for all radionuclides must be less than 1.0 to be acceptable for shipment.
5.4.4.5 Dose Rates for Maximum Radionuclide Loading External radiation levels at a given dose rate location X(r) are computed for the maximum radionuclide loadings in the RT-100 by using the calculated nuclide-specific dose rate per Curie responses DX(r) along with the source strength density limit set for the respective radionuclide aX to demonstrate the dose rates produced for a given content isotopic loading as follows:

Dose rates for other radionuclides with a greater than one (1) day half-life can also be computed in the same manner using radionuclide gamma dose rate per Ci responses in Table 5.7.2-1 for NCT and Table 5.7.2-2 for HAC, and the source strength densities in Table 5.7.3-1. The estimated dose rates due to the maximum allowed loading of each radionuclide considered individually is shown in Table 5.4.4-5 and Table 5.4.4-6. Any mixture of radionuclides can be evaluated with a characterization of the actual source strength density (Ci/g) of each radionuclide, using the loading table.
The RT-100 loading table procedure as outlined in Chapter 7, Section 7.6.1 provides the guidance on the acceptability of a mixture of radionuclides in resin and filter material based on the maximum Ci/g for each radionuclide in the mixture. This loading table procedure, based on sum of the fractions of contributions, determines whether the radionuclide mixture meets or exceeds 10 CFR 71.47(b) or 10 CFR 71.51(a) (2) [both Ref. 2] radiation limits. In addition, the loading table determines whether the combined A2 and mixture heat load meets or exceeds licensed limits.

The packaging geometry, materials, and all assumptions for the effects of NCT and HAC are retained, with the sole change being an alternative approach to the contents modeling.
This supplemental evaluation calculates dose rates for content volumes equivalent to 500, 1,000, and 1,500 lbs of radioactive filters, with the goal of allowing increased radionuclide specific activity limits by implementing a mass restriction on the total quantity of radioactive contents.
This allows for flexibility in filter contents by permitting lighter loads with higher specific activities or heavier loads with lower specific activities. The resulting radionuclide specific activity limits are set for four total filter content mass bands: 500 lbs, 1,000 lbs, 1,500 lbs, or 15,000 lbs, with the 15,000 lbs limits based on the full cavity contents outlined in Section 5.4.
For typical filter contents, the primary dose rate contribution is almost exclusively from Co-60, with small contributions from the other 7 radionuclides analyzed explicitly in Section 5.4. All other isotopes analyzed using the generic energy line method outlined in Section 5.4 have a minimal or negligible contribution to external dose rates. As a result, the increased specific activity limits determined in this analysis are only for these 8 explicitly analyzed radionuclides. All radionuclides other than the 8 explicitly analyzed default to the bounding generic energy line method specific activity limits, based on a cavity filled entirely by the radioactive contents but no self-shielding credited (i.e., contents modeled as void in MCNP).

RT-100 Safety Analysis Report, Rev. 10 Docket No. 71-9365                                                                              June 20, 2023 5.5.6 Specific Activity Limits Each MCNP case tallies the photon flux () at the dose rate location of interest, with two multipliers applied in a dose rate conversion function () and a per Curie multiplier. The dose rate conversion function is based on the ANSI/ANS-6.1.1-1977 Flux-to-Dose conversion factors in mrem/hr (see Table 5.4.3-1), applied using the DE and DF cards in MCNP. The per Curie multiplier is applied using the FM card on each tally and is simply a factor of 3.7E10 Bq/Ci.
Noting that MCNP tallies are normalized per emitted particle, the output values (R) are:
mrem mrem/hr disintegration                    2              disintegration/s R[                          ] =  [ cm        ]  3.7E10 [                    ]  [ hr
                                                                                                  ]
Ci        emitted            emitted                        Ci cm2  s To account for the statistical uncertainty in the calculated dose rate 2 is added to each, based on the calculated fractional standard deviation from MCNP. Each radionuclide has a characteristic number of gammas emitted per disintegration (I). This factor is applied to give dose rate per Curie values (D) for each radionuclide:
mrem/hr          mrem/hr disintegration              emitted D[          ] = R[                            ] I[                ]
Ci                Ci        emitted            disintegration The corresponding activity limit is determined based on the calculated dose rate and the regulatory dose rate limit (D) at each location of interest reduced by 5% (e.g., 190 mrem/hr for the package surface). The overall activity limit is set as the minimum activity limit determined from all regulatory locations (x):
mrem D [      ]
ALimit [Ci] = minx {          hr    }
mrem/hr D[      Ci    ]
Finally, the specific activity limit in Ci/g is calculated by dividing the determined activity limit by the content mass (m) of interest (i.e., 500, 1,000, or 1,500 lbs) converted to grams:
Ci    ALimit [Ci]
aLimit [ ] =
g        m [g]
The maximum dose rate per Curie values (D) at each regulatory dose rate location for each content mass along with the corresponding activity limit (ALimit) are presented in Table 5.5.6-1 through Table 5.5.6-8 for each radionuclide analyzed. The specific activity limits (aLimit) for each radionuclide and content mass are presented in Table 5.5.7-1.
A dose rate plot from the results in the NCT side mesh tallies for Cs-137 and Co-60 are shown in and Figure 5.5.6-1 and Figure 5.5.6-2, respectively. Both figures are for the case resulting in the set activity limit for the given radionuclide, with cases shown in Figure 5.5.5-1. Due to its lower gamma emission energy (Eg=0.66 MeV), the maximum case for Cs-137, as shown in Figure 5.5.6-1, is with the contents concentrated in the top corner of the cask cavity, which maximizes streaming over the lead shield. Due to its higher gamma energies (Eg=1.17 & 1.33 MeV). Figure 5.5.6-2 shows that the peak Co-60 dose rates are from the case where the contents are stretched along the entire height of the cask at a slightly reduced density to minimize self-shielding from the radioactive contents. These dose rate profiles show the relatively uniform dose rate gradient in the cell tally regions and no potential streaming effects that could result in an underpredicted maximum dose rate for any radionuclide.

RT-100 Safety Analysis Report, Rev. 10 Docket No. 71-9365                                                                          June 20, 2023 5.5.7 Dose Rate Compliance A summary of the specific activity limits for each content mass and radionuclide is provided in Table 5.5.7-1. The values in this table are calculated by dividing the overall activity limits for each radionuclide in Table 5.5.6-1 through Table 5.5.6-8 by the respective filter content mass in grams.
For example, the 500 lbs specific-activity limit for Co-60 is calculated as:
117.6 [Ci]                      4 Ci g = 5.18  10 [ g ]
500 [lb]  453.59 [ ]
lb Note that the 15,000 lb specific activity limits provided in Table 5.5.7-1 are taken from Table 5.7.3-1, based on the original analysis where the entire cavity is filled with radioactive contents.
The 15,000 lb mass limit is based on the total content mass limit for the RT-100 package, so no radioactive content mass can ever reach this limit as a secondary container is always required.
The specific activity limits are used for the demonstration of compliance with regulatory dose rate limits by calculating the sum of the fractions (SOF) based on the maximum specific activities of all filter contents. The listed mass-based specific activity limits for the eight radionuclides in Table 5.5.7-1 can be used for radioactive filter contents when the total mass of the filter contents is less than the set mass limit. The dose rate contribution from all other radionuclides is minimal, so, to ensure a conservative demonstration of compliance with external dose rates, the bounding full cavity specific activity limits listed in Table 5.7.3-1 can be used for any radionuclide not included in Table 5.5.7-1.
n ai [Ci/g]
SOF =
aLimit,i [Ci/g]
i=1 Note that the specific activity for each radionuclide (ai) is selected as the maximum measured specific activity for the respective radionuclide across all filters in the contents. If there is any rounding of the sum of the fractions value, it should always be conservatively rounded up. A sum of the fractions less than or equal to 1 demonstrates that no external dose rates will exceed the regulatory limit and the contents are permissible for shipment.
Multiple conservatisms are applied in this analysis to ensure dose rates are not exceeded when the calculated specific activity limits are utilized, including:
: 1. A 5% margin is applied directly to the regulatory limits.
: 2. No secondary container is considered in the analysis. This neglects the additional spacing and shielding provided by the secondary container.
: 3. Only the low-density portion of the filters is considered in the contents. All filters have a steel frame, which would otherwise provide significant gamma self-shielding in the content materials, that is not credited.
: 4. The filter contents are modeled solely as activated carbon, which results in the least photon attenuation of four materials examined in Section 5.4.4.2. The filter contents are modeled in the worst-case configuration and at the worst-case material density in the package cavity for each radionuclide individually.
: 5. The maximum specific activity for each radionuclide in the contents is applied for the sum of the fractions calculation, effectively neglecting any activity variation and assuming the peak specific activity through all radioactive contents.

This is including but not limited to fuel channels, velocity limiters, reactor internals, as well as other general hardware materials that have undergone neutron activation. The only change for the MCNP dose rate calculations in this analysis is the content modeling.
Similar to the mass restricted filter analysis, in this analysis, the permissible radioactive contents are restricted by mass, while still assuming the maximum activity throughout. This allows for variable specific activity limits for the activated hardware contents in the RT-100, while ensuring calculated dose rates are still bounding. Providing multiple mass limits allows for smaller quantities of material with higher specific activities or larger quantities of material with lower specific activities. The imposed mass limits are 1,000, 2,000, 8,000, and 13,000 total lbs. of hardware contents. The lower mass limits are set based on a review of typical mass limits from previous hardware content shipments. The 13,000 lb. limit is set as an upper limit for the package.
Although the maximum content mass for the RT-100 cask is 15,000 lbs., a secondary container will always be utilized, and shoring may be present. As a result, the maximum realistic quantity of activated hardware expected in the RT-100 will be less than the 13,000 lb. limit.
For typical hardware contents, the primary dose rate contribution is almost exclusively from Co-60, with small contributions from the other 7 radionuclides analyzed explicitly in Section 5.4 and Section 5.5. All other isotopes analyzed using the generic energy line method outlined in Section 5.4 have a minimal or negligible contribution to external dose rates. As a result, specific activity limits determined in this analysis are only for the 8 explicitly analyzed radionuclides. All radionuclides other than the 8 explicitly analyzed default to the bounding generic energy line method specific activity limits, based on a cavity filled entirely by the radioactive contents but no self-shielding credited (i.e., contents modeled as void in MCNP).

The dose rate conversion function is based on the ANSI/ANS-6.1.1-1977 Flux-to-Dose conversion factors in mrem/hr (see Table 5.4.3-1),
applied using the DE and DF cards in MCNP. The per Curie multiplier is applied using the FM card on each tally and is simply a factor of 3.7E10 Bq/Ci. Noting that MCNP tallies are normalized per emitted particle, the output values (R) are:

                                                                                                    ]
Ci        emitted            emitted                        Ci cm2  s To account for the statistical uncertainty in the calculated dose rate, 2 is added to each, based on the calculated fractional standard deviation from MCNP. Each radionuclide has a characteristic number of gammas emitted per disintegration (I). This factor is applied to result in dose rate per Curie values (D) for each radionuclide:
mrem/hr          mrem/hr disintegration              emitted D[            ] = R[                            ] I[                ]
Ci                Ci        emitted            disintegration The corresponding activity limit is determined based on the calculated dose rate and the regulatory dose rate limit (D) at each location of interest reduced by 5% (e.g., 190 mrem/hr for the package surface). The overall activity limit is set as the minimum activity limit determined from all regulatory locations (x):
mrem D [
ALimit [Ci] = minx {          hr ] }
mrem/hr D[      Ci    ]
Finally, the specific activity limit in Ci/g is calculated by dividing the determined activity limit by the content mass (m) of interest (i.e., 1,000, 2,000, 8,000, or 13,000 lbs) converted to grams:
Ci    ALimit [Ci]
aLimit [ ] =
g        m [g]
The maximum dose rate per Curie values (D) at each regulatory dose rate location for each radionuclide are listed in Table 5.6.6-1 through Table 5.6.6-4 for each mass limit. Each table includes the dose rates calculated for high-density and low-density hardware, individually. For each dose rate location where there are multiple tallies in the radial direction, the value listed is the maximum between the two (see Figure 5.5.5-3 for reference)

RT-100 Safety Analysis Report, Rev. 10 Docket No. 71-9365                                                                        June 20, 2023 5.6.7 Dose Rate Compliance A summary of the specific activity limits for each content mass and radionuclide is provided in Table 5.6.7-1. The values in this table are calculated by dividing the overall activity limits for each radionuclide in Table 5.6.6-5 through Table 5.6.6-12 by the respective hardware mass in grams.
For example, the 1,000 lbs specific-activity limit for Co-60 is calculated as:
351.0 [Ci]                    4 Ci g = 7.73  10 [ g ]
1,000 [lb]  453.59 [ ]
lb The specific activity limits are used for the demonstration of compliance with regulatory dose rate limits by calculating the sum of the fractions based on the maximum specific activities of all activated hardware contents. The activated hardware specific activity limits for the eight radionuclides in Table 5.6.7-1 are used along with the bounding full cavity specific activity limits calculated using the generic energy line method and listed in Table 5.7.3-1 for all other radionuclides, to ensure a conservative demonstration of compliance with external dose rates. As the generic energy line method completely neglected self-shielding from the content materials and rounded all gamma emission energies up to the next analyzed gamma energy, these specific activity limits are conservative by a significant margin. A comparison of the specific activity limit calculated for Co-60 using the generic energy line method with void contents is compared to the mass restricted filter content and activated hardware content limits below to demonstrate this conservatism.
Generic Energy Line Method -                    2.566E-05 Ci/g Mass Restricted Filters (Table 5.5.7-1) - 2.500E-04 Ci/g to 5.184E-04 Ci/g Activated Hardware (Table 5.6.7-1) -            2.262E-04 Ci/g to 7.739E-04 Ci/g This comparison shows that neglecting self-shielding from the contents has a significant effect on the permissible specific activity limits. For radionuclides with lower gamma energies, the effect is greater as self-shielding provided by the contents has a greater effect. Thus, using the previously developed specific activity limits listed in Table 5.7.3-1 for all other radionuclides is conservative and acceptable for activated hardware contents. Additionally, because external dose rates from both resin/filter contents and activated hardware contents are always driven by Co-60, and to a lesser extent the other seven explicitly analyzed radionuclides, using the specific activity limits from the generic energy line method for all other radionuclides is not overly restrictive.
As with the resin and filter contents, compliance is demonstrated with the sum of the fractions, using the established activated hardware specific activity limit (aLimit,i) and the maximum specific activity of each radionuclide (ai) in the actual hardware contents.
n ai [Ci/g]
SOF =
aLimit,i [Ci/g]
i=1 When there are multiple content types (i.e., high-density hardware, low-density hardware, and/or filters) in a single package, compliance can be demonstrated by calculating the sum of the fractions for each content type individually, then totaling the individual SOF values for a total sum. If there is any rounding of the sum of the fractions value, it should always be conservatively rounded up.
A total sum of the fractions (SOFTotal) less than or equal to 1 indicates that the external dose rates will not exceed the regulatory limit and the contents are permissible for shipment.

SOFTotal =  SOFi i=1 Calculating individual sum of the fraction values for each content effectively determines the contribution to external dose rates from each, without consideration for the shielding and spacing provided by other materials present. For example, in a shipment of filters and hardware together, the two contents will provide additional shielding and spacing for each other from the external dose rate locations. However, calculating the sum of the fractions for each content individually neglects these effects. As a result, calculating and summing individual sum of the fraction values for each content results in a conservative estimate of dose rate contribution and is acceptable for demonstrating compliance with external dose rates.
Multiple conservatisms are applied in this analysis to ensure dose rates are not exceeded when the calculated specific activity limits are utilized, including:
: 1. A 5% margin is applied directly to the regulatory limits.
: 2. No secondary container is considered in the analysis. This neglects the additional spacing and shielding provided by the secondary container, which for activated hardware contents is typically composed of steel walls.
: 3. The bounding density of the hardware contents in the low-density or high-density range is considered. For example, activated stainless steels have a density of approximately 8.0 g/cm3, but the bounding contents are analyzed as 7.5 g/cm3. Zirconium alloys have a density of approximately 5.6 g/cm3, but the bounding contents are analyzed as 2.0 g/cm3.
This results in lower, conservative specific activity limits.
: 4. The contents are modeled solely as the bounding element for the respective density range (i.e., Zr for low-density and Cr for high-density), which provides the lowest gamma attenuation of any material in each density range of the hardware contents.
: 5. The maximum specific activity for each radionuclide in the contents is applied for the sum of the fractions calculation, effectively neglecting any activity variation and assuming the peak specific activity through all radioactive contents.

RT-100 Safety Analysis Report, Rev. 10 Docket No. 71-9365                                                                      June 20, 2023 7.5 Hydrogen Buildup in RT-100 Transport Cask The RT-100 is designed for a maximum decay heat of 200 Watts, as described in Section 1.2.2.8.
The rate of hydrogen gas generation must also be considered when evaluating the heat load. The method for calculating the hydrogen gas generation is described in Section 4.4. Two evaluation methods are described in the following sections - a simplified model (Section 7.5.1) which is used for most shipments but is limited to certain restrictions, and an analytical model (Section 7.5.2) used for other cases. An example calculation using the analytical model is detailed in Section 7.5.3.
Package material and content that can generate flammable gas shall be appropriately assigned as part of the ionic resin bead waste or polyethylene container when using the Loading Curve (Figure 7.5-1 and Table 7.5.1-1) or detailed analysis (Section 7.5.2) to determine acceptable hydrogen gas generation-related parameters of shipping time and decay heat. For example, waste filters (made of material other than polypropylene or polyethylene) shall be grouped as ionic bead waste and wood shoring would be grouped as part of the polyethylene container. If filters are made of polyethylene or polypropylene, they are to be included in the secondary container volume for the hydrogen gas generation detailed analysis. Activated hardware materials are not hydrogen generating and do not retain water that cannot be evacuated like filters and resin wastes. As a result, the only effect hardware materials have on the hydrogen buildup calculations in the RT-100 is if they are mixed with resin & filter contents. In this scenario, the volume occupied by the hardware contents in the cavity must be accounted for. If no hydrogenous materials are included in the contents, including the liner and shoring, the hydrogen gas buildup calculations are not required.
7.5.1 Hydrogen Gas Generation - Simplified Model used to develop Loading Curve Using the equations derived in Chapter 4, Section 4.4, the decay heat limit versus waste volume can be determined for a limit of 5% in the cavity free volume. Figure 7.5.1-1 provides a curve illustrating the waste volume to decay heat value that would result in the generation of a flammable gas mixture within 10 days assuming that all decay heat is absorbed by the waste material and the polyethylene container. The calculation assumes that the hydrogen generation occurs over a period of time that is twice the allowable shipping time. For most shipments, this simplified graphical model (Loading Curve) can be used to determine the maximum heat load.
Use the following procedure to confirm the decay heat of the cask contents meet the requirements of NUREG/CR-6673 [Ref. 12]:
: 1. Confirm all the restrictions listed in Table 7.5.1-1 are met. Confirm the secondary container is listed in Table 7.5.1-2, or is a container of equivalent material volume.
Confirm the shoring volume does not exceed the allowable volume. If these restrictions cannot be met, the analytical model described in Section 7.5.2 must be used.
: 2. Identify the waste volume in cubic feet. Waste volume in the simplified model include Robatel Technologies, LLC                                                                  Page 7-20

Note that for this simplified model, activated hardware waste in the contents is grouped as ionic bead waste and is assumed to be hydrogen generating.

Shipments are allowed only if the conditions in Table 7.5.2-1 are met.
Table 7.5.2-1 Conditions for Shipper to use the Detailed Analysis (From Table 4.4.5-1) 1    Waste consists of resins/filters or mixture of resins/filters with activated hardware from commercial power plants.
2    Waste has been grossly dewatered.
3    Secondary containers are passively vented within the cask cavity during shipment.
Use the following procedure to confirm the decay heat of the cask contents meet the requirements of NUREG/CR-6673 [Ref. 12]:
: 1. Determine the values of the variables P0, T0, VC, and VWASTE, and VH. The variable VH is only required if activated hardware contents are included with the waste. Initial pressure (P0) and initial temperature (T0) may be measured by the user at the time of loading. The volume occupied by the secondary container, shoring, and polyethylene or polypropylene filters in the waste (VC) and the volume occupied by the ionic resin and stainless steel filters in the waste material (VWASTE) are known.
: 2. Determine the values of the variables GTi, GTC, GTW, i, C, and W. G-values (GTi, GTC, GTW) and  fractions (i, C, W) must be justified by the user based on waste characterization. These variables must be adjusted for the transport temperature of 80 &deg;C, as described in Section 4.4.1.3, in order to meet the requirements of NUREG/CR-6673
[Ref. 12]. The values must also be adjusted for the appropriate alpha/gamma radiation distribution. One example of this adjustment is provided in Table 7.5.2-2 for the same G-values in the bounding case loading curve for the 80% gamma/20% alpha decay heat distribution.
: 3. Use one of the following methods (a or b).
: a. Take the decay heat of the cask contents (DH) and solve Equation 4.8 for the maximum allowable shipping time (tmax). Confirm the shipment time (t) will be less than the maximum allowable shipping time (tmax).
: b. Take the shipment time (t) and solve Equation 4.9 for the maximum allowable decay heat (DH,max). Confirm the actual decay heat of the contents (DH) is less than the maximum allowable decay heat (DH,max).
Note 2: Alternatively, the user can follow the NUREG/CR-6673 requirements to determine the shipping time to reach a hydrogen concentration of 5%. The shipping time has to be defined as 1/2 the time to reach the 5% hydrogen concentration per the requirement in NUREG/CR-6673 [Ref.
12].

        < 7.5 g/cm3) or high-density hardware (7.5 g/cm3    9.0 g/cm3) range. The weight of free water must be excluded in this determination. The source strength density must be ensured at any point of the content. Average density by dividing the total activity by total weight is not acceptable.
: 2. No neutron emitting nuclides, except in trace amounts.
: 3. The weight of water must be excluded when determining the Ci/gram of content limit.

RT-100 Safety Analysis Report, Rev. 10 Docket No. 71-9365                                                                            June 20, 2023 7.6.1 RT-100 Loading Table 7.6.1.1 RT-100 Loading Table Description The dose rate compliance of the RT-100 cask is ensured by: first, determining the percent of each radionuclide activity relative to its maximum allowable value, and then summing up this dose rate percentage for all radionuclides and assuring that the sum does not exceed 100%. In addition, the activity for the package shall be less than 3000 A2, the total decay heat output shall be less than 200 watts, and the actual content activity concentration of neutron emitters shall be less than 3.5 milliCuries/kg. This compliance is facilitated by employing a loading table that is completed by the shipper of the RT-100. An individual loading table is available for each of the three content types (filters & resins, low-density hardware, and high-density hardware), each of which has ten columns as follows:
o Actual Content Nuclide - Radionuclide entered by user into the loading table. Qualification of the content loaded into the RT-100 cask is under the responsibility of the shipper/user.
o Maximum Allowable Activity Concentration - The maximum allowed activity for the isotope being entered into the RT-100 transport cask, in mCi/kg, that is based on the methodology described in Sections 5.4, 5.5, and 5.6 and presented in either Table 7.6.1-18 or Table 7.6.1-19. The 8 explicitly analyzed isotopes in Sections 5.4, 5.5, and 5.6 are in Table 7.6.1-18 and the generic energy line isotopes are in Table 7.6.1-19.
o Actual Content Activity Concentration - The maximum activity concentration of each isotope for each content analyzed is entered by the user in units of mCi/kg. This value should be the maximum activity concentration of the content being analyzed (e.g., for mixed filters and high-density hardware shipments, the user shall input the maximum activity concentration of each isotope for the filter content on the Filters & Resins sheet, and the maximum activity concentration of each isotope for the hardware content on the High-density Hardware sheet). The user shall ensure that the bulk density of the wastes meet the bulk density requirements from 7.6.
o % of Maximum - The percent of maximum column represents the percentage of the activity concentration entered by the user for the isotope in question versus the maximum allowable activity concentration established by the methodology described in Section 5.4.4.
o A2 - The total activity equivalent to 1 A2 in Curies for the isotope entered by the user.
o Activity(i) / A2(i) - The total A2 quantity for the isotope entered by the user.

RT-100 Safety Analysis Report, Rev. 10 Docket No. 71-9365                                                                        June 20, 2023 o Q Value - The amount of heat energy released per unit activity, in Watts/milliCurie, for the isotope entered by the user.
o Heat Load - The total heat load contribution, in Watts, for the activity concentration and mass entered by the user for the isotope.
o Neutron Emitter? - This column indicates whether the Radionuclide entered by the user is a neutron emitter (238Pu, 239Pu, 240Pu, 242Pu, 242Cm, 243Cm, 244Cm, 248Cm, 241Am, or 252Cf).
o Actual Content Activity Concentration - For neutron emitters, the previously entered activity concentration is shown in this column.
The Maximum Allowable Activity Concentration (milliCuries/kg) column contains the maximum activity per kilogram allowed for each isotope based on the NCT and HAC dose rate limits and the most conservative response functions (mrem/hr/Curie) generated by MCNP calculations. For the eight explicitly analyzed radionuclides in Sections 5.4, 5.5, and 5.6, the Maximum Allowable Activity Concentration updates to the appropriate limit automatically based on the content mass input. The % of Maximum column is summed at the end of the column. If the sum is greater than 100%, than the inventory dose rate would potentially exceed the NCT or HAC dose rate limits, which would make the package not acceptable. If the sum is less than or equal to 100%, the package would generate an acceptable dose rate under NCT and HAC conditions. The A2 (Curie) column contains the A2 activity value in Curies for the isotope. The Activity (i) / A2(i) column is the ratio of the activity entered by the user divided by the A2 value for the isotope. The Activity (i) / A2(i) column is summed. If the value is under 3000 A2, the inventory total activity is below the containment limit and the package is acceptable under the containment limitation.
Each radionuclides activity is multiplied by the value in the Q Value (Watts/milliCurie) column and the result is automatically entered into the Heat Load (Watts) column. At the end of the column, the results are summed and compared to the 200 Watt limit. If it is below the limit, the package is acceptable under heat load limitations.
If the user-entered radionuclide is a neutron emitter, it is indicated in the Neutron Emitter?
column. For these radionuclides, the Actual Content Activity Concentration is shown in the last column. At the end of the column, the results are summed and compared to the limit of 3.5 milliCuries/kg. If the sum is below the limit, the package is considered to contain only trace amounts of neutron-emitting radionuclides.

RT-100 Safety Analysis Report, Rev. 10 Docket No. 71-9365                                                                                    June 20, 2023 7.6.1.2 RT-100 Loading Table Procedure Depending on the type of contents, the respective loading table sheet shall be filled out for: Filters
& Resins, LD Hardware, or HD Hardware using the following steps. Unused loading table sheets shall remain blank, if only HD Hardware is shipped then the unused Resin and Filter and LD Hardware sheets shall remain blank.
Step 1: The user shall ensure that the conditions are met for each content type to be shipped in the RT-100 by checking the boxes of the respective loading table sheet (on top of each loading table sheet). If a mixture of resins/filters and activated hardware will be shipped, then the conditions of both loading sheets must be checked. Note that the conditions of the applicable contents must be checked before filling out the loading table and if any of the conditions is not satisfied, then the contents may not be shipped in the RT-100. One of the conditions is to verify that the bulk density of the resin or filter media does not exceed 1 g/cm3 at any point of the content and/or the density of the activated hardware is within the low-density hardware (2.0 g/cm3  < 7.5 g/cm3) or high-density hardware (7.5 g/cm3    9.0 g/cm3) range.
Note: Unchecked boxes does not prevent the user from using the loading table. The user is responsible for ensuring that the conditions are met and the boxes are checked.
Step 2: The total waste inventory volume and mass of each content type are entered in cubic feet and kilograms into the first two rows of each loading table sheet (in the top two yellow cells). Note that the mass cell will turn red if the mass input exceeds the maximum allowable mass for each content type. The maximum payload is limited to 6804 kg including contents, secondary containers, and shoring. The maximum activated hardware content mass is limited to 5,896 kg.
The waste volume is limited to 130 ft3 if the simplified loading curve is used for resins/filters or mixture of resins/filters and activated hardware shipments.
Step 3: The radionuclides in the waste stream are entered in the yellow column under Actual Content Nuclide. The user can type in the nuclide symbol (not case-sensitive) followed by the mass number without a space, dash, or hyphen (e.g., co60, ag100m, or CS137) or select the radionuclides from the drop-down menu in the cells. There are 200 empty cells on each loading table sheet, unused cells must be left blank. Note that the Maximum Allowable Activity Concentration (mCi/kg) will populate automatically in the second column once a radionuclide is entered into the table. The Maximum Allowable Activity Concentration (mCi/kg) limits of the 8 primary isotopes (ag110m, cs137, co58, co60, cs134, fe59, mn54, zn65) are mass dependent (higher limits with reduced waste mass). If N/A appears in any of the columns for the isotope entered, the isotope is not applicable to the RT-100 Loading Table or it is incorrectly input into the spreadsheet.17 17 If N/A appears in containment column but the isotope passes the shielding evaluation, the isotope is not in Table A-1 of Appendix A of 10 CFR 71. Look up the radiation type of the isotope. Based on Table A-3 of Appendix A of Robatel Technologies, LLC                                                                                Page 7-35

RT-100 Safety Analysis Report, Rev. 10 Docket No. 71-9365                                                                            June 20, 2023 Step 4: The Actual Content Activity Concentration (mCi/kg) are entered in the third column for each radionuclide. The activity concentration input for each isotope should be the maximum for any waste stream of each conent shipped in the RT-100 cask. The weight of water must be excluded when determining the Ci/gram of radioactive content limit for resins and filters. Once the waste mass, radionuclides, and total activity concentrations are entered into the table, the rest is automatically updated (columns 4 through 10). For mixed filters and high-density hardware shipment as an example, the user shall input the maximum activity concentration in mCi/kg of each isotope for the filter content on the Filters & Resins sheet, and the maximum activity concentration of each isotope for the hardware content on the HD Hardware sheet.
Step 5: If there are multiple content types in the same package, the loading tables in the individual sheets are filled out based on the quantities (i.e., volumes, masses, and activity concentrations of radionuclides) for each of the contents separately. For example, if a package contains spent filters and activated velocity limiters (i.e., activated stainless steel), the Filters & Resins and HD Hardware loading table sheets are filled out for the two contents separately. Unused sheets must be left blank.
Step 6: The Loading Summary sheet is then checked to ensure that the combined contents (or one content type) have gamma sum less than 100%, A2 less than 3000, heat load less than 200 Watts, and neutron activity concentration less than 3.5 mCi/kg. Check the cells in the Loading Summary sheet beside Passed Criteria. If cell beside passed criteria is green and states TRUE, inventory has passed that particular set of criteria. If cell beside criteria is red and states FALSE, inventory has failed that particular set of criteria. An inventory must pass all test criteria (shielding, containment, heat load, and neutron limit) in order to be shipped in the RT-100 cask.
The pass/fail (TRUE/FALSE) of each test criteria shall be obtained from the Loading Summary sheet.
Note: There is an evaluation summary at the end of each loading sheet (Filters & Resins, LD Hardware, and HD Hardware) that shows the status of the each content type relative to the four test criteria. Its optional for the user to check these summaries, the same information can be obtained from the master Loading Summary sheet that must be checked by the user for each shipment.
Step 7: Check the Loading Curve sheet for the hydrogen gas generation status (applicable when hydrogenous materials are included). This is the simplified loading curve which is limited to 130 ft3 waste volume and 10-day shipping time and should be suitable for most shipments. If the Waste Volume (ft3) vs. Decay Heat (Watts) falls within the green region (acceptable region), then the shipment passes the hydrogen gas generation criterion for a 10-day shipping time. If a package 10 CFR 71, enter 0.54 Ci for A2 of beta or gamma emitters and 0.0024 Ci for alpha emitters.

RT-100 Safety Analysis Report, Rev. 10 Docket No. 71-9365                                                                        June 20, 2023 fails the simplified model criterion or if the waste volume is greater than 130 ft3, the shipping time is expected to exceed 10 days, or if any of the conditions in Table 4.4.4-1 are not met then the detailed hydrogen gas analysis must be performed.
Step 8: Below are the steps for performing the detailed hydrogen gas analysis in H2Gen Analysis sheet if necessary (less common option). The steps below are listed in the order the entry cells appear in H2Gen Analysis sheet.
: 1. Enter the air temperature (F) and atmospheric pressure (in Hg) at the time of loading
: 2. Either select the secondary container from the secondary container drop-down menu or enter the volume (ft3) occupied by the secondary container only (this volume shall not include waste volume and can be calculated based on the container weight and material density). Refer to Table 4.4.3-2 for the list of most commonly used containers, these should be available from the drop-down menu.
: 3. Enter the shoring volume (ft3), note that the shoring can be calculated using the shoring weight and material density.
: 4. Enter the Polyethylene or Polypropylene filter volume (ft3). Note that Polyethylene or Polypropylene filters have higher G Values than resins, therefore, they require performing the detailed analysis.
: 5. Enter the ionic resin bulk volume (ft3) which includes the volume of solid resin beads and the volume of the void space between the beads.
: 6. Enter steel filter volume (ft3).
: 7. Enter the hardware volume (ft3), this is the combined volume of low-density and high-density hardware in the waste.
: 8. Either select gamma/alpha decay heat distribution from the drop-down menu or enter the specific G-values based on the waste characterization. Refer to Table 7.5.2-2 for the G-values of expected hydrogenous materials based on the gamma/alpha decay heat distribution.
: 9. Either enter the decay heat of cask contents in watts to calculate the maximum allowable shipping time in days or enter the shipment time in days to calculate the maximum allowable decay heat in watts (one input is required).
7.6.1.3 Turkey Point Source Term Example Evaluation (Resin and Filter)
The following is a sample from stored spent resin and used filters in High Integrity Containers (HICs) from Turkey Point Units 3 & 4 Low Level Waste Facility [Ref. 9]. Sample results were increased by three standard deviations in order to generate a conservative source term, within 99%
confidence interval. Based on Reference 9, mass of a particular Turkey Point HICs contents was on the order of 2060 kg. Sample results were entered into the RT-100 Loading Table and the results are shown in Table 7.6.1-5 and Table 7.6.1-6.
The spent resin and used filter inventory from Turkey Point generates a value of 3.42% in the %

The following is source term information for a typical St. Lucie HIC source term [Ref. 10]. Two sets of sample results were increased by three standard deviations in order to generate a conservative source term, within 99% confidence interval. If multiple samples are taken from a shipment, the maximum activity concentration values for each isotope should be used in the RT-100 Loading Table. Based on Reference 10, mass of a particular St. Lucie HICs contents was on the order of 1950 kg. The maximum values for each isotope from the two samples were inputted into the RT-100 Loading Table and the results are shown in Table 7.6.1-7 and Table 7.6.1-8.
The spent resin and used filter inventory from St. Lucie generates a value of 9.78% in the % of Maximum column, which is below 100%. The inventory satisfies the dose rate regulatory compliance. The total inventory A2 value is 1.69 A2, which is below the 3000 A2 limit. The heat load is 0.23 Watts, which is below the 200 Watt limit. The actual content activity concentration of neutron emitters is 0.00 milliCuries/kilogram, which is below the limit of 3.5 milliCuries/kilogram.
Therefore, this packages inventory would be considered acceptable.
Note that the 160 ft3 volume is used in this example for illustration purposes only and may not be the actual volume of this example package.

Notice the TRUE green cells next to the test criteria cells which indicate that the package meets all four acceptance criteria and is acceptable for shipment in the RT-100 Cask.
Table 7.6.1-11        Mixed Loading Example (loading summary sheet)
Figure 7.6.1-1 shows the loading curve for this mixed shipment example. The decay heat generated in this example is 9.69 watts which is within the acceptable region (green region). The detailed analysis (H2Gen Analysis) is not required since the package passed the simplified hydrogen gas criteria. In this example, hydrogen gas concentration will not reach the 5% by volume limit during the 10-day shipment timeframe.

H and RT100 PE 1001-2, Rev. H provided in Chapter1, Appendix 1.4. In addition, the packaging is to be visually inspected for any adverse conditions in materials or fabrication that would prevent the package from being assembled or operated in accordance with requirements outlined in Chapter 7, or tested in accordance with the requirements of Chapter 8. Visual and non-destructive examination shall be performed by ASNT or COFREND certified inspectors.
8.1.2 Weld Examinations Containment boundary welds are identified in drawing RT100 PRS 1011, Rev. E in Chapter 1, Appendix 1.4. The following welds on this drawing are classified as containment boundary welds:
S.1011.01, S.1011.02, and S.1011.03. These welds are required to be inspected and meet the acceptance requirements of ASME Code, Section III, Division I, Subsection ND, Article ND-5000
[Ref. 5].
The weld maps RT100 PRS 1011, Rev. E, RT100 PRS 1013, Rev. C, RT100 PRS 1031, Rev. D and RT100 PRS 1032, Rev. D listed in Chapter 1, Appendix 1.4, provide the examination criteria for each weld. Radiographic testing, dye penetrant testing, and/or visual testing is performed in accordance with applicable ASME standards. The Containment Boundary welds are also inspected by radiographic examination. Non-destructive examination shall be performed by ASNT or COFREND certified inspectors.
8.1.3 Structural and Pressure Tests A pressure test of the containment system is performed as required by 10 CFR 71.85 [Ref. 2]. As described in Chapter 3, Section 3.3.2.5, Maximum Normal Operating Pressure for the RT-100 cavity is 182.71 kPa. Per 10 CFR 71.85(b) [Ref. 2], the containment system shall be tested at an internal pressure at least 50% higher than the actual maximum normal operating pressure, or 274 kPa. However, for conservatism, the minimum test pressure is set to 300 kPa. The hydrostatic test pressure is held for a minimum of 10 minutes. Afterward, the primary lid and secondary lid closures are examined for leakage.
Except from temporary connections, leaks are remedied, and the test and inspection are repeated.
After depressurization and draining, the cask cavity and seal areas are visually inspected for cracks and deformation. Any cracks or deformation are remedied, and the test and inspection repeated.

Refer to Section 8.3 and Table 8.3.1-1 for a summary of the leak test types.
Testing performed on the cask body containment boundaries during fabrication:
8.1.4.1 Cask Containment Boundary 8.1.4.1.1 Cask Body Leak Testing - Prior to Lead Pouring 8.1.4.1.2 Primary Lid Assembly Including Secondary Lid and Cover Plate -
Prior to Final Assembly Verification testing performed on the cask after final assembly:
8.1.4.2 Primary and Secondary Lid Containment O-Rings Helium Leak Testing 8.1.4.3 Quick Disconnect Valve Helium Leak Testing 8.1.4.4 Quick Disconnect Valve Cover Plate Containment O-Rings Helium Leak Testing Note Regarding Test Personnel Qualifications Detailed procedures following the instructions below are to be approved by personnel certified in ASNT NDT or COFREND Level III leak testing. The use of COFREND certified personnel instead of ASNT certified personnel is accepted for leakage testing for the RT-100, based on the equivalence note 102885 EQN 001 Rev. C [Ref. 12].
Note Regarding Test Duration For each helium test, the duration must be calculated by test personnel. The Test Duration is a function of the System Response Time and the Helium Penetration Time.
The System Response Time is defined as the time from admitting helium to a test assembly with a known leak, until the measured leakage rate increases to 2x10-7 cm3/s above background. For the Primary Lid O-ring, which has the longest response time, the time has been experimentally determined to be less than 20 seconds.
The Helium Penetration Time is defined as the time from admitting helium to a test assembly, until the measured leakage rate of helium gas permeating through the seal under test increases to a rate of 2x10-7 cm3/s above background. For the Vent Port Cover Plate O-ring, which has the shortest penetration time, the time has been experimentally determined to be approximately 5 minutes.
The Test Duration should be such that:
2 x    <  < 80%
40  <  < 240 In order to meet the above criterion, the Test Duration is specified as approximately 2 minutes.

All materials undergo extensive testing to meet the ASME standards of the material specifications. These specifications (including ASME standards) are part of the procurement process to ensure component materials meet or exceed nuclear industry practices.
To confirm that acceptance criteria are met, materials used for the fabrication of the RT-100 are procured in accordance with RT Quality Assurance Program [Ref. 1] standards. Materials not meeting these standards are replaced. Any materials replacing the originally purchased component parts are subject to the same testing to ensure conformance with specifications.
Where possible, materials for the RT-100 are procured in accordance with ASME/ASTM standards.
In certain cases materials may be procured to other standards, such as DIN or ISO. For these materials, a Commercial Grade Dedication (CGD) Plan is prepared to ensure the material meets all specifications critical to safety; such CGD Plans may include independent analyses to confirm supplier material specifications. The CGD Plan is prepared in accordance with RT Quality Assurance Program [Ref. 1] requirements. The following sections give additional information regarding CGD Plan characteristics:

The critical characteristic of the fusible plugs is the melting temperature, which shall be less than 160&deg;C. This temperature is based on Robatel Industries experience with other material plugs.
The melting temperature requirement is based on the ability of the plug to vent the pyrolysis gases produced during decomposition of the polyurethane impact limiter foam in the hypothetical fire accident. Polyurethanes do not break down below 475 K, or 202&deg;C [Ref. 10]. Since the melting temperature of the fusible plug is less than the decomposition temperature of the impact limiter foam, the gases will be vented.
Another thermoplastic material can be used provided the fusible plugs have a melting temperature below 160&deg;C.

The critical characteristic of the valve is its leakage rate.
As previously described in Section 8.1.4.3, when assembled, the quick disconnect valve is leak tested.
8.1.6 Shielding Tests The RT-100 is designed to provide sufficient shielding to meet or exceed NRC and DOT requirements for a Type B (U)-96 package. Specifically, the RT-100 design includes gamma radiation shielding to meet 10 CFR Part 71 [Ref. 2] during both NCT and HAC.
Shielding integrity of the RT-100 is tested using nondestructive examination techniques (e.g.,
gamma scanning method) to ensure there are neither direct radiation streams nor voids greater than the acceptance criteria in the lead shield annulus. The acceptance criterion is defined as follows:
measurements indicate that no lead layer is less than the minimum specified on the drawing. Any results not meeting this requirement are remedied, and the test and inspection are repeated.
To ensure that the minimum lead thickness is poured, prior to lead pouring, a gauge of 86 mm is utilized to verify that at any point, the distance between the cask inner and outer shell is at least 86 mm. See Appendix 8.3, Section 8.3.1 for further information regarding the lead pouring process.

In case the contents are loaded through the secondary lid, the primary lid and vent port cover plate can be leak tested before the contents are loaded, in accordance with ALARA principles.
Caution: Users of the RT-100 shall be aware that containment boundary components (detailed in Figure 4.1.2-1) could have been opened during a prior shipment of Type A contents, but a pre-shipment leakage rate test might not have been performed. The user must verify that an unopened lid has been previously leak tested in accordance with the Certificate of Compliance. If this verification cannot be made, the appropriate containment boundary seal must be leak tested.
o Testing Procedure
: 1. Assemble the cask lids per Chapter 6, Section 7.1.2.2, Primary Lid Replacement, 7.1.2.3, Secondary Lid Replacement, and Section 7.1.2.4, Quick-Disconnect Valve Cover Plate Replacement. The bolts must be torqued to the specifications listed in Table 7.4.5-1.
: 2. Remove the applicable leak test port plug.
: 3. Ensure that the O-ring on the test manifold is in good condition and lubricated. Connect the vacuum pump test assembly to the appropriate test port. The test assembly should consist of a vacuum pump isolated by a valve, with a gauge indicating the system pressure.
: 4. Accurately determine and record the control volume. The control volume includes the volume of the interspace between the O-rings as given in Table 8.2.2-1, plus the volume associated with the measuring instrumentation manifold.
Table 8.2.2-1 Volume of the Interspaces between the O-rings Interspace Location            Volume [cm&#xb3;]        Volume [m&#xb3;]
Primary Lid                  70.0                  0.000070 Secondary Lid                  35.0                  0.000035 Quick-Disconnect Valve Cover Plate        3.5                0.0000035
: 5. Determine and record the pressure gauge resolution, p.
: 6. Measure and record the base metal temperature of the cask lid, Tamb.
Note: Test should be carried out, where possible, in isothermal conditions. Small temperature variations can lead to large pressure variations.
: 7. Calculate the minimum required test duration, Hmin, following the method described in the Acceptance Criteria section below.
: 8. Create a vacuum in the interspace between the O-rings.
Note: Absolute pressure of 30 ~ 90 mbar is recommended. Lower absolute pressure may lead to outgassing of the interspace surfaces requiring longer pumping time to reach a sensitivity of 10-3 refcc/sec.
Note: Vacuum conditioning of the O-ring seals may be required.
