Docket No. 71-9393 CR3MP Safety Analysis Report                                                Rev. 0, August 2021 1.0 GENERAL INFORMATION This section presents a general introduction and description of the Crystal River Reactor Unit #3 (CR3) Middle Package (CR3MP). The CR3MP is used to safely and compliantly transport the segmented middle section of the decommissioned CR3 Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV) and RPV Internals (RVI). This Safety Analysis Report (SAR) supports a license application seeking authorization of the CR3MP as a Type B(U)-96 shipping package in accordance with the provisions of Title 10, Part 71 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) [1]. This SAR follows the general format and content provided in the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)
Regulatory Guide 7.9 [2].
The major components comprising the package are discussed in Section 1.2, Package Description, and illustrated in Figure 1.1-1. Detailed packaging SAR drawings are presented in Appendix 1.3.2, Packaging General Arrangement Drawings.
1.1 Introduction and Background The CR3MP has been developed by Orano Federal Services (OFS) to transport the segmented middle section of the decommissioned CR3 RPV and RVI. The middle section is the core portion of the RPV, extending approximately over the active fuel assembly region and containing a high amount of activated metal. The top and bottom RPV sections are planned for shipment in Department of Transportation (DOT) packages. The middle section segment of the consolidated RPV and RVI components will be transported in the CR3MP Type B package described herein.
As such, the CR3MP is a one-time, single use, expendable package. The CR3MP will be shipped via exclusive use from CR3 to the licensed low-level waste disposal facility of Waste Control Specialists (WCS) near Andrews, Texas.
In terms of the packaging configuration, an isometric cross section of the CR3MP is shown in Figure 1.1-1. The CR3MP consists of a 3-in. thick steel body assembly shell, 6-in. thick top and bottom covers, a closure joint weld, and other welds necessary for fabrication of the large material cross-sections. In addition, a layer of Low Density Cellular Concrete (LDCC) grout fills the annulus between the RPV shell exterior and the CR3MP shell. The overall height of the package is 178.1-in. tall while the overall diameter is 200.3-in. The package is designed to be transported by ground or water with its cylindrical axis vertical. The overall package gross weight is a maximum of 860,000 lb.
As defined by 10 CFR 61.55 [3] for Class B and Class C radiological waste materials, the CR3MP authorized contents will contain both waste classes. None of the source contents contain fissile content, therefore the payload is fissile exempt per the provisions of §71.15(b) [1].
Since the RPV and RVI contents transported in the CR3MP are fissile-exempt, the Criticality Safety Index (CSI) described in 10 CFR 71.59 does not apply.
The CR3MP does provide shielding from gamma radiation via the thick steel covers and thick steel walls of the shell. The containment boundary is provided by the shell walls and covers and the circumferential weld joint between the cover and shell wall. The containment boundary will be described in greater detail in Section 1.2.1.1, Containment Vessel.

Docket No. 71-9393 CR3MP Safety Analysis Report                                                Rev. 0, August 2021 OFS is seeking a Special Package Authorization (SPA) in accordance with 10 CFR 71.41(d) for the one-time shipment of the CR3MP. The two equivalency determinations sought by 10 CFR 71.41(d) are as follows:
The first license condition concerns the Lowest Service Temperature (LST) of the transport. Due to material property limits discussed in Section 2.1.2.1.1, Brittle Fracture, an LST of 0°F is established. Therefore, OFS is requesting a condition for the LST to be greater than or equal to 0°F during the entirety of the transport. As outlined in NRC Regulatory Guide 7.12 [8], an equivalent level of safety for the 10 CFR 71.71 and 10 CFR 71.73 Normal Conditions of Transport (NCT) and Hypothetical Accident Conditions (HAC) initial test conditions is offered for brittle fracture criteria of the bounding 6-in. thick CR3MP top and bottom covers at the LST identified. Of note, a buffer zone ranging from 0-5°F is included for operational convenience in Section 7.1.3, Preparation of the CR3MP for Transport.
For the LST low ambient temperature, the primarily impacted test conditions (i.e., the NCT and HAC structural drop tests) use the more conservative properties of steel at the high temperature condition of 150°F (see Appendix 2.12.2, Free Drop Evaluation). In addition, as recommended by NUREG/CR-3826 [9], in order to preclude a brittle fracture failure initiation mode under any NCT or HAC, a supporting analysis in Section 2.1.2.1.1, Brittle Fracture, has been performed showing that the material conforms to the toughness requirements of NUREG/CR-6491 [10] at the LST.
The second license condition concerns the pressure test required by 10 CFR 71.85(b).
Section 3.3.2, Maximum Normal Operating Pressure (MNOP), determines a MNOP of 15 psi. For a 15 psi MNOP, testing the containment boundary at a pressure of 1.5 x MNOP (or 22.5 psi) is required by 10 CFR 71.85(b). Because the CR3MP is welded permanently shut and has no ports that can be used for testing, and is not closed until the payload is installed, performance of a physical pressure test would be both inappropriate and impractical. As a demonstration of equivalent safety for the pressure test, a stress analysis of the containment boundary is performed at a pressure which is greater than the required 22.5 psi. The stress analysis, detailed in Section 2.6.1.3.1, Stresses Due to Pressure Loading, is performed using a pressure differential of 26.2 psi, or over 16%
greater than the required test pressure. In Section 2.6.1.3.2, Comparison with Allowable Stresses, a positive Margin of Safety (MS) is demonstrated, thus showing equivalent safety to that achieved by the physical pressure test at 22.5 psi.

Docket No. 71-9393 CR3MP Safety Analysis Report                                                Rev. 0, August 2021 1.2 Package Description This section presents a basic description of the CR3MP components and construction. In the following, drawing references are to the general arrangement drawings provided in Appendix 1.3.2, Packaging General Arrangement Drawings.
1.2.1 General CR3MP Description In terms of the packaging configuration, as shown in Appendix 1.3.2, Packaging General Arrangement Drawings, the packaging is a right circular cylinder steel shell made of 3-in. thick steel and two 6-in. thick covers, one top and one bottom. Each top and bottom cover is groove welded to the shell wall along the circumference. [
                                                                  ] The package cross section is shown in Figure 1.1-1. The overall nominal height of the package is 178.1-in. tall, while the overall diameter is 200.3-in.
The RPV payload centrally rests on the inside of the bottom cover. [
                                                                                                    ]
The nominal 3-in. gap between the top surface of the RPV and the bottom surface of the top cover is unfilled (i.e., nominal air gap). However, the radial 3-in. nominal annular gap between the shell inner wall and the RPV outer diameter is filled with LDCC, or informally identified simply as grout.
As shown in Figure 1.1-1, RVI components are rigidly constrained as one body within the RPV by up to three layers of grout, of which two layers may be a High Density Cellular Concrete (HDCC) grout and one layer is the LDCC. Regardless of the thickness of the HDCC, all cavities within the RPV will be filled with grout. The higher density layer is up to 18-in. thick on the top and up to 18-in. thick on the bottom. The HDCC is nominally 135 pounds per cubic foot (pcf) while the LDCC grout is nominally 45 pcf.
The maximum gross weight of the CR3MP is 860,000 pounds, while the authorized contents weight of the RPV with RVI is conservatively set to 645,000 pounds maximum. A summary of overall component weights is provided in Table 2.1-2.
The CR3MP complies with the requirements of 10 CFR Part 71 [1]. The remaining paragraphs in this section provide reference to the sections of this SAR that are used to specifically address compliance with the requirements of Subparts E and F of 10 CFR Part 71.
The shell and top and bottom covers provide adequate structural load bearing capacity in order to comply with resultant effects on the package from the 10 CFR 71.71 NCT and 10 CFR 71.73 HAC. Structural performance of the package is covered in greater detail in Chapter 2.0, Structural Evaluation. The materials of construction of the package are carbon steel plate and 1.2-1
 
Docket No. 71-9393 CR3MP Safety Analysis Report                                                Rev. 0, August 2021 cementitious grout. A complete evaluation of the materials and their acceptance criteria under both NCT and HAC conditions is covered in Section 2.2, Materials.
The dissipation of heat from the CR3MP is entirely passive and is adequate to comply with the requirements of 10 CFR Part 71 and no coolants are required. A more detailed description of the package thermal design is given in Chapter 3.0, Thermal Evaluation.
Containment of the radioactive waste in the package is provided by the main cylindrical shell, top and bottom covers, and weld joints of the CR3MP. A brief description of the package bodys containment boundary and performance is included in Section 1.2.1.1, Containment Vessel and the containment capabilities of the CR3MP after both the NCT and HAC tests are evaluated in Chapter 4.0, Containment and are shown to be adequate.
Biological shielding of gamma radiation is provided by the steel located in walls of both the shell body and top and bottom covers. In addition, the RPV steel shell primarily provides radial shielding on the sidewalls of the package. No other components whose primary purpose is shielding are included in the CR3MP. Gamma shielding is described and evaluated in Chapter 5.0, Shielding Evaluation and are shown to be adequate.
As stated in Chapter 6.0, Criticality Evaluation, the CR3MP transports fissile exempt material.
Therefore, no moderation or neutron absorption is necessary to control criticality.
In addition, a detailed discussion of the materials acceptance tests and weld examinations, along with a description of the maintenance program is covered in Chapter 8.0, Acceptance Tests and Maintenance Program.
The CR3MP is of conventional design and is not complex to operate. Operational features are depicted on the drawing provided in Appendix 1.3.2, Packaging General Arrangement Drawings. The package is oriented with the cylindrical axis of the package in a vertical orientation during transport. A complete description of the operating controls and procedures for the CR3MP is covered in Chapter 7.0, Package Operations. The operational procedures, acceptance tests and maintenance program adequately comply with 10 CFR Part 71 requirements. Finally, the CR3MP will be fabricated and assembled in accordance with an NRC approved Part 71 Quality Assurance (QA) program.
1.2.1.1 Containment Vessel The CR3MPs containment feature is the containers steel body itself consisting of the shell, both top and bottom covers and the circumferential closure joint welds for each of the covers. Due to material construction and availability considerations, the shell along with both the top and bottom covers are constructed of multiple plate sections joined with Complete Joint Penetration (CJP) welds.
1.2-2
 
Docket No. 71-9393 CR3MP Safety Analysis Report                                                Rev. 0, August 2021 The shell is constructed from one or more longitudinal CJP welds and one circumferential CJP weld, as necessary. Each of the top and bottom covers are constructed with up to three flat segments joined with CJP welds. Since they are located at the containment boundary, these additional welds are also part of the containment boundary. As detailed in Chapter 4.0, Containment, the CR3MP demonstrates containment compliance with 10 CFR 71 under the NCT conditions of 10 CFR 71.51(a)(1) and with HAC conditions of 10 CFR 71.51(a)(2) [1].
The packaging containment boundary is of welded construction, using American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) A516, Grade 70 [4] or American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) SA-516, Grade 70 [5] carbon steel plate. The CR3MP packaging consists of a 3-in. thick cylindrical shell body with a nominal inner diameter of 194.3-in. and two flat heads (i.e., covers), one top and one bottom, both 6-in. thick. Each of the covers is nominally 193.8-in.
(Outside Diameter) OD.
The plate section CJP welds for the top and bottom covers and the shell longitudinal weld seams are full penetration welds classified as Category A welds per Subparagraph ND-3352.1 of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC) [6]. The shell circumferential weld (if required) is classified as a Category B weld in accordance with Subparagraph ND-3352.2.
In accordance with Subparagraph ND-3352.3, the closure corner joint welds for the shell to top/bottom cover interface are considered as Category C weld joints [6]. These welds are also CJP welds following the likeness of Figure ND-4243-1(j) in the BPVC.
1.2.1.2 Grout The annulus between the RPV shell and the interior body surface of the CR3MP is filled with a layer of cementitious LDCC grout. The grout fills the [        ] layer within the annulus. The grout is a low-density grout which has a nominal density of 45 pcf, with a minimum compressive strength of 100 psi at a 7 day cure time.
1.2.2 Contents 1.2.2.1 Reactor Vessel and Reactor Vessel Internals 1.2-3
 
Docket No. 71-9393 CR3MP Safety Analysis Report                                                Rev. 0, August 2021 1.2.2.2 Grout within the RPV The voids in the RPV will be filled with grout to prevent any shifting of the contents during transport. [
                                                                    ] The RVI components are rigidly constrained as one body within the RPV by up to three different density layers of grout, of which two layers may be HDCC and one layer is LDCC. The HDCC is nominally 135 pcf while the LDCC grout is nominally 45 pcf.
As shown in Figure 1.1-1, the possible regions of HDCC grout are:
For the upper grout, a maximum thickness of 18-in. below the upper RPV segmentation location For the lower grout, a maximum thickness of 18-in. above the lower RPV segmentation location If these upper and lower regions of RPV grout are not filled with HDCC, then they will be filled with LDCC. The remaining middle region receives the LDCC grout. The chemical constituency of grout types is detailed in Section 2.2, Materials.
1.2.2.3 Radioactive Contents Description As required by 10 CFR 71.33(b), to be authorized for transport and consistent with the above description of the RPV, RVI and grout, this section describes in greater detail the radioactive material, including radionuclides, their quantities, and as needed, mass. This is covered in greater detail in Chapter 5.0, Shielding Evaluation.
The radioactive contents are of normal form. Table 1.2-1 lists the package radionuclide activity levels. The total payload activity due to neutron activation as of June 30, 2021 is [
                                                                                          ] input for all the components. Of note, GTCC waste is not part of the RVI authorized contents.
Surface contamination data for the RPV/RVI was determined through performance of a sample plan and from a composite of CR3 surrogate data. Surface areas for components were calculated using Computer Aided Drafting/Design (CAD) model dimensions. Where CAD data was not available, hand calculations using vendor drawings and simplifications were performed for each respective RVI component section.
Summarizing, the total bounding activation activity is set to [                ]. A concentration for both fixed and loose surface contamination is conservatively determined to be an average concentration of [                              ]. The bounding A2 quantity is 3,000 A2 and the maximum bounding decay heat is set as 500 W.

Docket No. 71-9393 CR3MP Safety Analysis Report                                                  Rev. 0, August 2021 2.0 STRUCTURAL EVALUATION This section presents evaluations demonstrating that the CR3MP meets all applicable structural criteria of 10 CFR 71 [1], or else provides equivalent safety per the provisions of 10 CFR 71.41(d). The CR3MP is evaluated by analysis. Demonstration techniques comply with the methodology presented in NRC Regulatory Guides 7.6 [2] and 7.8 [3]
2.1 Structural Design 2.1.1 Discussion As shown in the SAR drawing in Appendix 1.3.2, Packaging General Arrangement Drawings, the CR3MP is a thick-walled steel shell that encloses the middle portion of the CR3 RPV. The CR3MP and the RPV payload are described in detail in Sections 1.2.1, General CR3MP Description, and 1.2.2, Contents, respectively.
The CR3MP packaging consists of a cylindrical 3-in. thick steel shell, and 6-in. thick top and bottom cover plates. These components and their welds make up the containment boundary.
The material of construction of the packaging base metal is ASTM A516 Grade 70 [4] or optionally ASME SA516 Grade 70 [5]. The cylindrical shell and each cover may have multiple full penetration welds connecting constituent plates. The cover plates are attached to the shell with full penetration closure welds. The top cover plate closure weld is a field weld, performed after placement of the payload into the packaging. The package is fully welded closed and has no closures, seals, or vent ports. The package is 200.3-in. in diameter and 178.1-in. tall, and has a maximum bounding weight of 860,000 pounds. A cross section of the package and payload is depicted in Figure 2.1-1.
The payload consists of the middle portion of the CR3 RPV. In addition, RVI components, immobilized in grout, are included in the RPV cavity. The RPV payload will rest on the bottom of the package, leaving an approximately three inch thick annulus around the sides and an approximately three inch thick space over the top of the payload. The annulus is filled with low density grout, leaving a nominal air space of 3 inches at the top of the payload.
The CR3MP design does not include any impact limiters or any other features that are specifically designed to absorb free drop energy. The package is designed to be resistant to fracture at the LST and provides containment of radioactive material under NCT and HAC.
The package will be transported in exclusive use by barge and by road between the CR3 site and the WCS disposal site.
2.1.2 Design Criteria The acceptance criteria for analytic assessments are in accordance with NRC Regulatory Guide 7.6. These design criteria meet the following safety requirements of 10 CFR 71.51:
For NCT, there shall be no loss or dispersal of radioactive contents, as demonstrated to a sensitivity of 10-6 A2 per hour, no significant increase in external radiation levels, and no substantial reduction in the effectiveness of the packaging.
2.1-1
 
Docket No. 71-9393 CR3MP Safety Analysis Report                                                Rev. 0, August 2021 For HAC, there shall be no escape of krypton-85 exceeding 10 A2 in 1 week, no escape of other radioactive material exceeding a total amount of one A2 in one week, and no external radiation dose rate exceeding one rem per hour at 40 inches from the external surface of the package.
The CR3MP contains a bounding value of [                  ] of activity. [
                                                                                            ]
Accordingly, the CR3MP design will follow the guidance of Subsection ND. A summary of allowable stresses used for the containment (outer cylindrical shell and top and bottom closure plates) is presented in Table 2.1-1. The allowable stresses shown in the table are consistent with NRC Regulatory Guide 7.6.
For the NCT free drop event and the HAC free drop and puncture events, the containment shell materials are allowed to deform plastically. Material properties for non-linear analyses are developed in Appendix 2.12.2, Free Drop Evaluation.
The packaging has no lifting provisions available for use in the transport configuration. Thus, 10 CFR 71.45(a) does not apply to the CR3MP. In addition, since the CR3MP is not attached to the conveyance using any structural part of the package, tiedown structural criteria are not required.
2.1.2.1 Miscellaneous Structural Failure Modes 2.1.2.1.1    Brittle Fracture All structural materials of the CR3MP are made from ASTM/ASME A516/SA516, Grade 70 alloy steel [4] [5]. This is a fine grain steel designed for low temperature service. The recommendations of NRC NUREG/CR-6491 [11] for a Category II package are used to establish the LST of the base material, equivalent to the minimum transportation ambient temperature, for transport of the CR3MP.
Entering Figure 1 of NUREG/CR-6491 [11] with a thickness of six inches (equal to the maximum thickness of material in the package), and following that down to the  = 0.6 curve, the resulting value of KID/yd is 1.9 in1/2. The room temperature yield strength of ASTM A516, Grade 70 is 38 ksi. Following down to the ordinate from ys = 38 ksi yields an A-value of 19 °F.
(Conservatively, a value of 20 °F will be used.) The SAR drawing states that the Nil Ductility Transition (NDT) temperature of the material in the CR3MP shall be no higher than -20 °F, as determined by the drop weight test of ASTM E208 [8]. The LST of the CR3MP is therefore:
LST = TNDT + A = 20 + 20 = 0 Per the recommendation of NRC NUREG/CR-3019, Table 2 [12], the criteria for the welding material for a Category II package shall meet the requirements of ASME BPVC Subarticle ND-2400 [7].
2.1-2
 
Docket No. 71-9393 CR3MP Safety Analysis Report                                                Rev. 0, August 2021 The CR3MP will not commence transport, or will be stopped if in overland transport, if the ambient temperature falls below 0 °F. This will prevent a brittle fracture failure mode under NCT or HAC.
2.1.2.1.2  Fatigue Assessment Fatigue failure of the CR3MP is not of concern. The package is designed for a single use to transport the payload from CR3 in Florida to WCS, the disposal site in Texas. The design of the package is very simple, having only an outer shell and two end cover plates, welded in place.
There are no repetitively used components such as bolts, and no repetitive loading. Fatigue associated with normal vibration over the road is addressed in Section 2.6.5, Vibration.
2.1.2.1.3  Buckling Assessment The CR3MP, when loaded and closed for transport, is a very robust and stout mass, which is not subject to buckling instability. The principal part of the payload is a cylindrical cross-section of RPV steel, [        .] thick and running almost the full length of the package. The interior of the RPV is filled with grout, and the annulus between the RPV and the package is also filled with grout. The packaging body shell and covers are also made of very thick steel. As such, for the conditions specified by 10 CFR 71, buckling behavior is not of concern.
2.1.3 Weights and Centers of Gravity The maximum gross weight of the CR3MP is 860,000 lb. The CR3MP weights are summarized in Table 2.1-2. The Center of Gravity (CG) of the CR3MP is located essentially at the package geometric center.
2.1.4 Identification of Codes and Standards for Package Design As discussed in Section 2.1.2, Design Criteria, the CR3MP is classified as a Category II package, and per the guidance of NUREG/CR-3854, the appropriate design criteria for the containment is Section III, Division 1, Subsection ND of the ASME BPVC. Consequently, the design of the containment boundary is based on the methodology of NRC Regulatory Guide 7.6, and load cases are applied and combined according to NRC Regulatory Guide 7.8.

Docket No. 71-9393 CR3MP Safety Analysis Report                                                Rev. 0, August 2021 2.2 Materials The CR3MP consists of ASTM/ASME A516/SA516 Grade 70 steel shell and covers, with the shell nominally 3-in. thick and the covers nominally 6-in. thick. The void space within the RPV segment surrounding the RVI and the annulus between the RPV and the package wall is filled with grout. The package as assembled for transport is depicted in Figure 2.1-1. There are no bolts or other structural components used in the CR3MP and no seals as well. Nonstructural elements of the CR3MP include the following plain carbon steel components: top cover backing bar, top cover set screw plugs, and remnants of empty packaging lift lugs on the inside of the shell.
2.2.1 Material Properties and Specifications Table 2.2-1 presents the material properties for the ASTM/ASME A516/SA516 Grade 70 material. Of note, for purposes of this SAR, the material properties of ASTM A516, Grade 70 are considered identical to those of ASME SA516, Grade 70. As necessary and as noted in Table 2.2-1, material data is interpolated or extrapolated from the tabulated dataset. The density of steel used is 0.280 lb/in3.
The interior of the RPV is filled with grout, filling the void space and immobilizing the RVI components within. A LDCC grout having a density range of 30 - 60 pcf is used. As an option, HDCC grout (130 - 140 pcf) with a thickness of up to 18 inches at the top and at the bottom of the RPV may fill that portion of the interior volume. Outside of the RPV, in the nominal [      ]
wide annulus between the RPV and the interior of the package, LDCC is used. The nominal 3-in. wide space above the RPV and below the top cover is filled with air.
The LDCC and HDCC consists of Portland cement per ASTM C150 [13]. The LDCC is mixed with foaming agents per ASTM C869 [14], and follows the guidance of American Concrete Institute (ACI) 523.1R [15]. The thermal expansion coefficient for the grout material is similar to that of steel (i.e., ranging between approximately 5 - 7 x 10-6 in/in/°F) per [15] and ACI 523.3R-14 [16]. In the free drop evaluations under NCT and HAC, a crush strength of 100 psi is conservatively assumed for both densities of grout material.
Material properties for non-linear analyses are developed in Appendix 2.12.2, Free Drop Evaluation.
2.2.2 Chemical, Galvanic, or Other Reactions The CR3MP steel and concrete materials of construction will not have significant chemical, galvanic or other reactions, neither internally or externally. The integral contact between carbon steel and concrete is a common practice in structures designed to last many years (e.g.,
reinforcement rods in concrete structures). The outside (top and sides) of the package is painted.
The marine leg of the transport from the CR3 site to the WCS disposal site will be of relatively brief duration, and the package is designed for a single trip. No deleterious corrosion is expected from the brief sea voyage. Therefore, the CR3MP will not be compromised by any chemical, galvanic, or other reactions.

Docket No. 71-9393 CR3MP Safety Analysis Report                                              Rev. 0, August 2021 2.2.3 Effects of Radiation on Materials The radiation associated with the RPV and its RVI contents is essentially all gamma radiation, and will have no effect on the material properties of the containment boundary steel or on the integrity of the grout material. Some radiolysis of the moisture hydrated in the grout may occur, releasing small quantities of hydrogen and oxygen gas.

Docket No. 71-9393 CR3MP Safety Analysis Report                                                Rev. 0, August 2021 2.4 General Standards for All Packages This section defines the 10 CFR 71.43 compliance standards required to be met by the CR3MP.
The CR3MP meets all requirements delineated in this section.
2.4.1 Minimum Package Size In accordance with 10 CFR 71.43(a), the overall dimensions of the CR3MP must be greater than 4 inches. The minimum dimension of the CR3MP is approximately 178 inches. Thus, the 4-in.
minimum requirement of 71.43(a) is satisfied.
2.4.2 Tamper-Indicating Feature In accordance with 10 CFR 71.43(b), as configured for transport, the CR3MP is sealed and would not be readily breakable by unauthorized persons. The CR3MP is welded closed using a minimum 3.75-in. thick weld. Entry into the package cannot occur without destructively breaching this weld. Thus, the requirement of 71.43(b) is satisfied.
2.4.3 Positive Closure In accordance with 10 CFR 71.43(c), the package body and covers are the containment boundary and are joined at the interface seams by large full penetration welded joints. As such, the package cannot be opened unintentionally or by a pressure rise within the package. Thus, the requirements of 71.43(c) are satisfied.
2.4.4 Materials The CR3MP meets the requirements of 10 CFR 71.43(d) as discussed in Section 2.2, Materials.
2.4.5 Valves In accordance with 10 CFR 71.43(e), there are no valves, receptacles, testing, venting or sampling ports used in the CR3MP containment boundary. Therefore, no such component needs protection and the requirements of 71.43(e) are satisfied.
2.4.6 Package Design and NCT Conditions In accordance with 10 CFR 71.43(f), the CR3MP is designed to comply with NCT while preventing loss or dispersal of radioactive contents, not significantly increasing the external surface radiation level and not substantially reducing the effectiveness of the packaging. This is shown in Chapter 2.0, Structural Evaluation, Chapter 3.0, Thermal Evaluation, and Chapter 5.0, Shielding Evaluation, for the structural, thermal, and shielding requirements, respectively.
Therefore, the requirements of 71.43(f) are satisfied for the CR3MP.
2.4-1
 
Docket No. 71-9393 CR3MP Safety Analysis Report                                                Rev. 0, August 2021 2.4.7 External Temperatures In accordance with 10 CFR 71.43(g), the CR3MP is designed such that while exposed to a temperature of 100°F in the shade, that no accessible surface of the package will exceed 185°F when shipped as an exclusive use shipment. Since the CR3MP is a single-use package, there will only be a one-time, exclusive use shipment of the CR3MP. As shown in Table 3.1-1 from Section 3.1.3, Summary Tables of Temperatures, the maximum accessible surface temperature with no insolation is bounded by 85 °C, or 185 °F. This satisfies the limit of 71.43(g) for exclusive use shipments.
2.4.8 Venting In accordance with 10 CFR 71.43(h), there is no pressure relief (i.e., venting) system features in the CR3MP, therefore no continuous venting is intended to occur. Thus, the requirements of 71.43(h) are satisfied.

Docket No. 71-9393 CR3MP Safety Analysis Report                                                  Rev. 0, August 2021 2.5 Lifting and Tie-down Standards for All Packages 2.5.1 Lifting Devices The CR3MP does not include any devices that are a structural part of the package that are present in the transport configuration. In addition, as indicated in Section 7.1.2, Loading of Contents, the threaded holes for lifting the top cover will be plugged in order to prevent any inadvertent lifting. Thus, 10 CFR 71.45(a) does not apply.
2.5.2 Tie-down Devices As covered in Chapter 7.0, Package Operations during transport, the CR3MP [                        ]
and is held down by means of passive, indirect tiedowns (e.g., tiedown frame) which rest on top of the package. [
          ] In addition, as indicated in Section 7.1.2, Loading of Contents, the threaded holes for lifting the top cover will be plugged in order to render those holes inoperable for tiedown of the package during transport. Therefore, the CR3MP has no integral tie-down devices which are a structural part of the package. As a result, per 10 CFR 71.45(b)(1), the evaluation of tie-down devices is not required.
2.5-1
 
Docket No. 71-9393 CR3MP Safety Analysis Report                                                  Rev. 0, August 2021 2.6 Normal Conditions of Transport As specified in 10 CFR 71.71 [1], the CR3MP meets the performance criteria specified in Subpart E of 10 CFR 71. This is demonstrated in the following subsections where each NCT condition is addressed and shown to meet the applicable design criteria. Load combinations used in this section are consistent with NRC Regulatory Guide 7.8 [3].
2.6.1 Heat The NCT heat condition, as defined in 10 CFR 71.71(c)(1), is evaluated in Chapter 3.0, Thermal Evaluation. The bounding temperatures and pressures for use in structural analyses are summarized in the following subsections. Material properties and stress limits are taken from the design criteria shown in Table 2.1-1.
2.6.1.1 Summary of Pressures and Temperatures The CR3MP containment components are bounded by a temperature of 50 °C or 122 °F in the 100 ºF ambient NCT condition, as presented in Table 3.1-1 of Chapter 3.0, Thermal Evaluation.
Conservatively, a temperature of 150 °F will be used for NCT structural evaluations.
The initial pressure in the package at the time of welding shut the top cover is at Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP) conditions, (i.e., 14.7 psia). Pressure is generated in the package due to the release of moisture from the RPV internal grout as a result of decay heat. As determined in Section 3.3.2, Maximum Normal Operating Pressure, the MNOP is set at a value of 15 psig. The design pressure of the CR3MP is set at 25 psig.
2.6.1.2 Differential Thermal Expansion As shown in Section 2.2, Materials, grout has a thermal expansion coefficient which is similar to that of carbon steel. The volume of grout that is significantly warmer than the steel packaging containment shell is limited to a small region at the central interior of the RPV. The expansion of this region will be absorbed by the cooler material outside of it, and will not increase the stress of the packaging shell by expansion. The outer grout material near the shell body has essentially the same temperature and thermal expansion coefficient as the shell. Thus, differential thermal expansion is not of concern.
2.6.1.3 Stress Calculations 2.6.1.3.1    Stresses Due to Pressure Loading The containment boundary will be evaluated for the internal pressure condition by combining the MNOP with the reduced external pressure condition of 3.5 psia per 10 CFR 71.71(c)(3). MNOP is 15 psig or 29.7 psia. For an external pressure of 3.5 psia, the differential pressure to be used in the following calculations is 29.7 - 3.5 = 26.2 psi. This pressure is governing compared to the differential pressure formed between the internal design pressure of 25 psig.
Given that the CR3MP is a simple cylindrical shell with flat ends, the membrane stress in the cylindrical walls is:
                                          =    = 848 2.6-1
 
Docket No. 71-9393 CR3MP Safety Analysis Report                                                Rev. 0, August 2021 Where:
q = 26.2 psi r = 97.15 inches, radius of closure, equal to half the Inside Diameter (ID) (or 194.3/2) t = 3 inches, thickness of shell wall The top and bottom covers are identical 6.0-in. thick plates. As shown in the SAR drawing, each cover tapers to a thickness of 3.75 inches for a radial distance of 5.75 inches at the outer edge.
From Table 24, Case 10b of Roark [22], the bending stress at the center of the closure plate, assuming fixed edge support at the junction to the shell is:
2 (1 + )
6    6[            ]
16
                              =        =                  = 3,349 2            2 Where:
        = 0.3, Poissons ratio t = 6 inches, thickness of the cover plates From Table 24, Case 10b of [22], the stress at the outside edge of the cover (the weld), assuming a fixed edge, is:
2 6    6[      ]
8
                                  =      =          = 13,188 2      2 Where:
t = 3.75 inches, thickness of the cover plate welds.
2.6.1.3.2  Comparison with Allowable Stresses From Table 2.1-1, at the bounding temperature of 150 ºF, the value of Sm for the package material is 23,300 psi.
The stress in the side wall, a, is a membrane stress, Pm. From Table 2.1-1, the limit on membrane stress is Sm. The MS is:
23,300 1 =            1 = +
848 The bending stress in the closure plates is calculated above to be b = 3,349 psi, and is classified as membrane plus bending, or Pm + Pb. From Table 2.1-1, the limit on Pm + Pb is 1.5Sm, or 1.5 x 23,300 = 34,950 psi. The MS is:
34,950 2 =            1 = +9.4 3,349 2.6-2
 
Docket No. 71-9393 CR3MP Safety Analysis Report                                                Rev. 0, August 2021 The bending stress in the closure plate welds is calculated above to be c = 13,188 psi and is again classified as membrane plus bending, where the stress limit is 34,950 psi. The MS is:
34,950 1 =            1 = +1.65 13,188 Thus, the NCT warm condition is of no concern.
2.6.2 Cold For the cold condition of 10 CFR 71.71(c)(2), a -40 ºF steady state ambient temperature is used per NRC Regulatory Guide 7.8, with zero insolation and zero decay heat. This results in a uniform temperature of -40 ºF throughout the package. Since the steel containment shell and the grout have a similar coefficient of thermal expansion and the temperature of the materials is essentially the same, thus, no interference load will occur. Brittle fracture of the containment boundary is also of no concern because the CR3MP will be transported at a temperature above the LST, which has been set at 0 °F, as discussed in Section 2.1.2.1.1, Brittle Fracture.
2.6.3 Reduced External Pressure The effect of reduced external pressure of 3.5 psia, per 10 CFR 71.71(c)(3), has been considered in the NCT structural analysis presented in Section 2.6.1, Heat. Based on the MNOP of 15 psig, the reduced external pressure condition would cause a pressure differential of 26.2 psi. This pressure was used in in order to calculate the bounding pressure stress. Therefore, the reduced external pressure case of 71.71(c)(3) is of no concern.
2.6.4 Increased External Pressure The effect of an increased external pressure of 20 psia, per 10 CFR 71.71(c)(4), is acceptable for the CR3MP. Consistent with NRC Regulatory Guide 7.8, this loading corresponds to a minimum ambient temperature of -20 ºF, with no insolation, no decay heat, and minimum internal pressure.
With the CR3MP closed under ambient conditions, the internal pressure at a temperature of -20 ºF is:
(20 + 460)
                                =                  = 12.2 (70 + 460)
Where pamb is 14.7 psia. Therefore, the differential gas pressure from outside the shell side is pds = (20 - 12.2) = 7.8 psi. Since the package is filled with grout which has crush strength much greater than this pressure, the external pressure can be resisted by the grout alone without assistance from the steel shell. The top cover is not supported by grout. However, it has been evaluated for the much greater differential pressure of 26.2 psi in Section 2.6.1.3.1, Stresses Due to Pressure Loading. Thus, the increased external pressure load case of 71.71(c)(4) is of no concern.
2.6-3
 
Docket No. 71-9393 CR3MP Safety Analysis Report                                                Rev. 0, August 2021 2.6.5 Vibration Per 10 CFR 71.71(c)(5), the vibration normally incident to transport will not have a deleterious effect on the CR3MP packaging or its contents. The massive components of the package have natural frequencies which are unlikely to receive any consequential amount of energy from transport vibration. The package is also filled with grout material which serves as a damping component. In addition, the overall number of loading cycles the CR3MP experiences is minor over a single use shipment. Therefore, fatigue of the CR3MP due to transportation vibration would not adversely affect compliance with the 10 CFR 71.51(a)(1) NCT requirements.
2.6.6 Water Spray The material of construction (steel) used in the CR3MP is not affected by the water spray test identified in 10 CFR 71.71(c)(6).
2.6.7 Free Drop 10 CFR 71.71(c)(7) specifies a free drop from a height of one foot for a package weight more than 33,100 lb. The governing orientations of flat end, side, and CG over corner are evaluated for the NCT free drop event. Details of the free drop analysis are provided in Appendix 2.12.2, Free Drop Evaluation. The results are summarized below.
The evaluation was performed using LS-DYNA software. Because the key structural parameter is the strain in the containment boundary material, and deformation and strain is maximized at warm temperatures, all drop simulations use the warm NCT temperature of 150 °F. Nonlinear material behavior was included through use of a piecewise linear stress-strain curve which was developed using the method outlined in Annex 3-D of ASME BPVC Section VIII, Division 2
[20]. The structural response of the CR3MP to the one foot free drop impact was evaluated using a limiting triaxial strain criteria, developed using the method of Paragraph 5.3.3 of [20].
The resulting limiting strain is 22% as discussed in Appendix Section 2.12.2.2.2, Acceptance Criteria. The elements representing the weld between the side shell and the top and bottom covers were set to erode (i.e., be removed from the model analysis) when the effective plastic strain reached 22% in an element. In this way, not only the plastic response, but the potential failure of the containment welds could be identified. A design pressure of 25 psi is applied to the internal surfaces of the package. The impact surface was unyielding.
2.6.7.1 NCT End Drop The package end drop case was modeled with the top end facing down, since in that orientation, there is a 3-inch air gap between the RPV top surface and the top cover. Filtered at 1,000 Hz, as shown in Table 2.12.2-6, the maximum impact of the package is 94 g. The maximum strain is 3.3%. Plots of strain and time histories of impact are provided in Appendix Section 2.12.2.5, NCT End Drop.
2.6-4
 
Docket No. 71-9393 CR3MP Safety Analysis Report                                                Rev. 0, August 2021 2.6.7.2 NCT Side Drop The package side drop case was modeled with the shell cylindrical axis parallel to the ground, causing the radial edge of the shell to horizontally impact the drop pad. As shown in Table 2.12.2-6, the maximum impact is 21 g. The maximum strain is 10.2%, which as shown in Figure 2.12.2-9, occurs in two localized regions at the inside and the outside of the closure plate weld. Plots of strain and time histories of impact are provided in Appendix Section 2.12.2.6, NCT Side Drop.
2.6.7.3 NCT CG over Corner Drop The package CG over corner drop case was modeled with the top end of the package down and the shell cylindrical axis inclined at an angle of 47.8° from the horizontal surface of the drop pad.
As shown in Table 2.12.2-6, the maximum impact is 8.1 g. As shown in Figure 2.12.2-11, approximately 1/4 of the closure weld elements at the outside edge of the weld in a region close to the impact point exceed the strain limit of 22%. The distorted shape plot in Figure 2.12.2-13 indicates that the forces on the weld are primarily compressive, since the gap formed by the removal of the higher-strain weld elements has closed. The effective plastic strain in the remaining 3/4 of the weld is below the strain limit, and the weld retains its integrity as a barrier to the release of radioactivity. Plots of strain and time histories of impact are provided in Appendix Section 2.12.2.7, NCT Corner Drop.
In summary, when subjected to a 1 ft free drop onto an unyielding surface, the containment boundary of the CR3MP remains intact.
2.6.8 Corner Drop The CR3MP is not required to be evaluated for the 10 CFR 71.71(c)(8) corner drop condition, since it applies only to fiberboard, wood or fissile material packages of varying configurations.
The material of construction of the CR3MP is steel and it is not a fissile package, therefore the CR3MP does not need to be evaluated for the NCT corner drop.
2.6.9 Compression 10 CFR 71.71(c)(9) specifies that for packages weighing up to 11,000 lb, a 24-hour compressive load be applied with the load being the larger load of either 5 times the package weight or the equivalent of 2 psi projected over the package area. The CR3MP weight exceeds the 11,000 lb limit, and therefore does not need to be evaluated for compression.
2.6.10 Penetration In accordance with 10 CFR 71.71 (c)(10), the impact of a 1.25-in. diameter, hemispherical ended, 13-lb steel bar dropped vertically from a height of 40 inches would not have any deleterious effect on the safety features of the CR3MP. Dropping vertically, the bar would impact the 6-in. thick top closure plate or the 3.75-in. thick closure weld. The bar would possess an impact energy of only 520 in-lb and could not damage the package in any way. Therefore, consequential damage from the steel bar penetration test is of no concern.

Docket No. 71-9393 CR3MP Safety Analysis Report                                                Rev. 0, August 2021 2.7 Hypothetical Accident Conditions When subjected to the HAC as specified in 10 CFR 71.73, the CR3MP meets the performance requirements specified in Subpart E of 10 CFR 71. This is demonstrated in the following subsections, where each accident condition is addressed and the package shown to meet the applicable design criteria. The method of demonstration is by analysis. The loads specified in 10 CFR 71.73 are applied sequentially, per Regulatory Guide 7.8. Resulting stresses are maintained below the limits established by Regulatory Guide 7.6 or other limits on strain as established in the analysis sections herein. A summary of cumulative damage is provided in Section 2.7.8, Summary of Damage. The primary acceptance criteria for all HAC events is a release of no more than one A2 of activity in one week, as established in Section 2.1.2, Design Criteria.
2.7.1 Free Drop Subpart F of 10 CFR 71 requires that a 30 ft free drop be considered. The free drop is to occur onto a flat, essentially unyielding, horizontal surface, and the CR3MP is to strike the surface in an orientation for which maximum damage is reasonably expected. Three representative worst-case orientations are chosen: on the end, the side, and CG over corner. Because the package diameter and height do not differ significantly (diameter of 200.3-in. and height of 178.1-in.),
secondary impacts such as slapdown are not considered. In order to include the damage which would occur from a prior NCT one-foot free drop, the drop height for all HAC drops is 31 ft.
The evaluation was performed using LS-DYNA software. A design pressure of 25 psi is applied to the internal surfaces of the package. The impact surface was unyielding. Details of the free drop analysis are provided in Appendix 2.12.2, Free Drop Evaluation.
2.7.1.1 Material Properties Used in Free Drop Analysis Because the key structural parameter is the strain in the containment boundary material, and deformation and strain is maximized at warm temperatures, all drop simulations use the warm NCT temperature of 150 °F. Nonlinear material behavior was included through use of a piecewise linear stress-strain curve which was developed using the method outlined in Annex 3-D of ASME BPVC Section VIII, Division 2 [20]. Detailed development of the stress-strain curve is provided in Appendix Section 2.12.2.4, Model, and the resulting curve in Figure 2.12.2-2. The structural response to the HAC free drop impact was evaluated using a limiting triaxial strain criteria, developed using the method of Paragraph 5.3.3 of [20]. The resulting limiting strain is 22% as discussed in Appendix Section 2.12.2.2.2, Acceptance Criteria. The elements representing the weld between the side shell and the end cover plates were set to erode (i.e., be removed from the model analysis automatically by the software) when the effective plastic strain reached 22% in an element. In this way, not only the plastic response, but the potential failure of the containment welds could be identified.

Docket No. 71-9393 CR3MP Safety Analysis Report                                                Rev. 0, August 2021 2.7.1.2 HAC End Drop The package end drop case was modeled with the top end facing down, since in that orientation, there is a 3-inch air gap between the RPV top surface and the top cover. Filtered at 1,000 Hz, as shown in Table 2.12.2-7, the maximum impact of the package is 384 g. The maximum strain is 9.7%. Plots of strain and time histories of impact are provided in Appendix Section 2.12.2.8, HAC End Drop.
2.7.1.3 HAC Side Drop The package side drop case was modeled with the shell cylindrical axis parallel to the ground, causing the radial edge of the shell to horizontally impact the drop pad. As shown in Table 2.12.2-7, the maximum impact is 81 g. At the center of the impact zone, the strain across the full width of the closure weld at both ends of the package exceeds the 22% strain limit. As shown in Figure 2.12.2-22 and Figure 2.12.2-23, a number of elements were consequently removed from the model. The failed area represents an opening which may allow some of the contents of the package to escape. Both the HAC side drop and the HAC CG over corner drop experience a degree of weld failure. To determine the bounding case, relevant data from Table 2.12.2-5 will be collected from each free drop analysis as follows:
HAC Side Drop The aggregate length of failed weld, including both ends and full symmetry, is 117 inches.
The maximum opening of the joint as measured from the model is 0.29 inches.
The time between initial impact and secondary impact is 0.65 seconds.
Plots of strain and time histories of impact are provided in Appendix 2.12.2.9, HAC Side Drop.
2.7.1.4 HAC CG over Corner Drop The package CG over corner drop case was modeled with the top end of the package down and the shell cylindrical axis inclined at an angle of 47.8° from the horizontal surface of the drop pad.
As shown in Table 2.12.2-7, the maximum impact is 45 g. At the center of the impact zone, the strain across the full width of the closure weld exceeds the 22% strain limit. As shown in Figure 2.12.2-28, a number of elements were consequently removed from the model. The failed area represents an opening for some of the contents of the package to escape. Relevant data collected from Table 2.12.2-5 for the CG over corner drop case include:
HAC CG over Corner Drop The total length of failed weld, including full symmetry, is 146 inches.
The maximum opening of the joint as measured from the model is 0.87 inches.
The time between initial rebound and secondary impact is 0.68 seconds.
Plots of strain and time histories of impact are provided in Appendix Section 2.12.2.10, HAC Corner Drop. By comparison with the side drop, the CG over corner drop case is bounding, and the parameters of this case are used in the calculation described in Section 4.3, Containment under Hypothetical Accident Conditions.

Docket No. 71-9393 CR3MP Safety Analysis Report                                                  Rev. 0, August 2021 2.7.2 Crush The 10 CFR 71.73(c)(2) crush test is required only when the package has a mass under 1,100 lb.
Since the weight of the CR3MP exceeds 1,100 lb, the crush test specified in 71.73(c)(2) does not apply.
2.7.3 Puncture The CR3MP is evaluated for puncture resistance under HAC as defined in 10 CFR 71.73(c)(3).
The puncture event is defined as a free drop from a height of 40 inches onto a vertical, cylindrical mild steel bar, 6 inches in diameter, in an orientation and in a location for which maximum damage is expected. Puncture performance of the CR3MP is evaluated on two surfaces: puncture on the flat ends, and puncture on the cylindrical side shell.
2.7.3.1 Puncture on the Ends The puncture resistance of the end covers of the CR3MP, both of which have the same material and thickness, is evaluated using Nelms Equation [23]. From Table 2.2-1, for the NCT warm case bounding temperature of 150 ºF, the ultimate strength of the package steel material (Su) is 70,000 psi. The bounding weight of the CR3MP (W) is 860,000 lb. The required thickness (t) to resist puncture then becomes:
0.71
                                    =(      )    = 5.94 The thickness of the closure plate is 6.0 inches. The MS on the package closure plate thickness is:
6.00
                                      =          1 = +0.01 5.94 Of note, this calculation conservatively neglects the load limit of a mild steel puncture bar.
Assuming a bar made of ASTM A36 material, with properties as provided in Appendix Section 2.12.2.1.2, Materials, having a yield strength at room temperature of 36 ksi, and a tensile strength of 58 ksi, the flow stress of the puncture bar is the average of yield and tensile strengths, or 47 ksi. Since the bar has a 6-in. OD and has an area of 28.3 in2, the maximum load that could be sustained by the bar is based on the flow stress of the bar material and is equal to 28.3 x 47,000 = 1.33 x 106 lb. The minimum load to shear a 6-in. diameter hole through a 6-in.
thick cover plate (F), conservatively assuming a shear length of only 50% of the thickness, or 3 inches, is:
                          = 6 x  x 3 x 0.6 x 70,000 = 2.38 x 106 In this equation, the ultimate shear strength of the plate is considered to be 0.6 times the tensile strength of 70 ksi for the ASTM A516 Grade 70 steel [4]. Thus, the maximum load which can be sustained by the mild steel puncture bar, 1.33 x 106 lb, is only about 56% of the load needed to fully shear through the 6-in. closure plate of 2.38 x 106 lb, implying that the bar would fail in compression before the plate sheared through. Therefore, the MS is considerably larger than
+0.01, and puncture of the CR3MP top and bottom cover plates is of no concern.
2.7-3
 
Docket No. 71-9393 CR3MP Safety Analysis Report                                                  Rev. 0, August 2021 2.7.3.2 Puncture on the Package Body Shell From the foregoing, it is evident that the 3-in. thick body shell may experience perforation from the puncture bar, both from the perspective of Nelms equation and from the fact that the maximum puncture bar load of 1.33 x 106 lb is greater than the load to fully shear a 3-in. thick section of ASTM A516 Grade 70 steel (again assuming 50% shear, or 1.5 inches), equal to half of 2.38 x 106 lb, or 1.19 x 106 lb. Thus, it may be reasonably assumed that a puncture drop on the cylindrical side shell could result in the configuration shown in Figure 2.7-1. Conservatively, intervening grout material between the shell and the RPV will be neglected.
The consequences of a puncture impact on the side shell of the CR3MP will be inconsequential due to the resistance to puncture from the thick RPV wall, which is located just behind the packaging shell. The RPV wall (t) is [          ] thick with an OD of [                ] Table 30, Case 7a of Roark [22] provides a formula for the deflection under a concentrated load on a circular shell. [
                                                                    ] The deflection under the load (d) (i.e., the local radial deformation of the RPV shell) due to the puncture bar load then becomes:
3/2  3/4
                                = 6.5 ( ) ( )            = 0.70 Where:
P = 1.33 x 106 lb, the maximum sustainable load of the puncture bar E = 29.0 x 106 psi, the modulus of elasticity for carbon steel (taken from Table 2.2-1 at 150 °F) t=[              ] the RPV wall thickness R and L are defined above.
Thus, the distance (G) shown in Figure 2.7-1 is 0.70 inches. This is a very conservative value since it neglects any inward deformation of the package shell that will occur due to puncture bar loading and any thickness of grout compressed between the side shell and the RPV. The same formula as used above could be applied to the package shell, resulting in a significant local dent in the package shell that would reduce the magnitude of G and possibly allow the package shell to be supported by the RPV and prevent complete perforation of the shell. However, the actual deformation of the package shell prior to its perforation is difficult to evaluate due to the resistance of the grout, and this effect is conservatively neglected, as depicted in Figure 2.7-1.
The upper-bound width of the opening into the package, (G), is just under 3/4-in., and very little grout could escape through such an opening. In addition, the grout in the side annulus is poured in place after the placement of the grouted RPV, and therefore is not contaminated.
Consequently, no activity from within the package would be released in such a puncture event.
If the puncture bar were applied to the free drop damage resulting from the CG over corner impact evaluated in Section 2.7.1.4, HAC CG over Corner Drop, it could penetrate the damaged area where contaminated grout may be present. However, as calculated in Section 4.3, Containment under Hypothetical Accident Conditions, the open area due to the weld damage is conservatively bounded by 150 in2, and the added opening due to the puncture event would be unlikely to significantly exceed the area of the puncture bar itself, equal to 28.2 in2.
2.7-4
 
Docket No. 71-9393 CR3MP Safety Analysis Report                                                Rev. 0, August 2021 As a result, the potential additional opening due to puncture is small relative to the free drop damage opening. In addition, while the release of contaminated grout in the free drop event is conservatively calculated using the full free drop impact velocity of the package combined with a rebound time period, the puncture event has a much lower impact velocity and essentially no rebound. Consequently, any further release of contaminated grout from the puncture event on the worst case free drop damage is considered negligible. Therefore, puncture of the CR3MP is of no concern.
2.7.4 Thermal The CR3MP is designed to withstand the HAC 30 minute fire specified in 10 CFR 71.73(c)(4).
The thermal evaluation is presented in Section 3.4, Thermal Evaluation under Hypothetical Accident Conditions.
2.7.4.1 Summary of Pressures and Temperatures As shown in Table 3.5-4, the maximum internal pressure of the CR3MP as a result of the HAC fire event is bounded by a value of 43.1 psig. From Section 3.4.3, Maximum Temperatures and Pressure, the maximum temperature of the weld between the end covers and the body shell as a result of the HAC fire event is 493 °C or 920 °F.
2.7.4.2 Differential Thermal Expansion As shown in Section 2.2, Materials, grout has a thermal expansion coefficient which is similar to that of carbon steel. In the HAC fire event, the shell is hotter than the grout. The maximum temperature of the packaging from Table 3.4-1 is 579 °C (1074 °F) and from Figure 3.4-2, the maximum temperature of the annulus grout (excluding the small region of grout that could be exposed to the fire due to a free drop weld fracture) is 334 °C (633 °F). Thus, differential thermal expansion is of no concern.
2.7.4.3 Stress Calculations Pressure stress in the CR3MP was calculated in Section 2.6.1.3.1, Stresses Due to Pressure Loading. The governing stress was found to be located at the outside edge of the package cover, assuming a fixed edge condition. For an internal pressure of 15 psig (MNOP) and an external pressure of 3.5 psia, a differential pressure of 26.2 psi was formed. Using this pressure, the stress (c) was calculated to 13,088 psi. Assuming linear conditions, the HAC stress (c-HAC) associated with an internal pressure of 43.1 psig is then equal to:
43.1
                                =        x 13,088 = 21,530 26.2 From Table 2.1-1, for a primary membrane plus bending stress under HAC, the allowable stress is the lesser of 3.6Sm or Su. At the peak weld temperature of 920 °F provided in Section 2.7.4.1, Summary of Pressures and Temperatures, the yield stress of ASTM A516 material (Sy) is 23,700 psi by interpolation from ASME BPVC, Section II, Part D, Table Y-1 [17]. Sm is 2/3 of this value, or Sm = 15,800 psi. Thus, 3.6Sm = 56,880 psi. Again at 920 °F, Su = 49,740 psi by interpolation from ASME BPVC, Section II, Part D, Table U [17]. Thus, the lesser value of 49,740 psi is governing.
2.7-5
 
Docket No. 71-9393 CR3MP Safety Analysis Report                                              Rev. 0, August 2021 The MS then becomes:
49,740 1 =            1 = +1.31 21,530 Of note, this result is conservative because it assumes that the peak temperature of the containment occurs at the same time as the peak internal pressure, whereas these two peaks will not coincide. Thus, pressure stress is of no concern for the HAC fire event.
2.7.5 Immersion - Fissile An immersion test for fissile material packages is required by 10 CFR 71.73(c)(5). Since the CR3MP does not transport fissile materials, this requirement does not apply.
2.7.6 Immersion - All Packages An immersion test for all packages is required by 10 CFR 71.73(c)(6), in which a separate, undamaged specimen must be subjected to an equivalent pressure of 21.7 psig. Since the CR3MP is filled with grout which has a crush strength which is much greater than this pressure, the external pressure can be resisted by the grout alone without assistance from the steel shell.
Thus, the immersion load case of 71.73(c)(6) is of no concern.
2.7.7 Deep Water Immersion Test For Type B packages containing an activity of more than 105 A2, 10 CFR 71.61 requires that an undamaged containment system withstand an external water pressure of 290 psi for a period of not less than one hour without collapse, buckling, or inleakage of water. As stated in Section 1.2.2.3, Radioactive Contents Description, the bounding activity in the CR3MP is 3,000 A2.
Therefore, this requirement does not apply.
2.7.8 Summary of Damage The CR3MP is analytically subjected to the applicable sequence of HAC events from 10 CFR 71, which include free drop, puncture, and thermal. Free drop of the package is considered using three representative worst-case orientations: end, side, and CG over corner.
Computer simulation using LS-DYNA software indicates that openings into the containment boundary can occur in the side drop and CG over corner drop orientations. A conservative estimate of the size of the openings is recorded, and the containment evaluation documented in Section 4.3, Containment under Hypothetical Accident Conditions shows that the containment criterion of Section 2.1.2, Design Criteria, is met.
Puncture is evaluated using Nelms equation and shows no penetration of the top or bottom covers. Penetration of the package shell is possible. However, a manual analysis of the effect of puncture bar loading on the RPV wall shows that the RPV wall deformation will be minimal and the contaminated grout inside the RPV will not be disturbed. Thus penetration of the side shell of the package will expose only uncontaminated grout, and due to the small size of the opening, very little will be lost. Puncture of the damaged package post-CG over corner free drop is also considered, and it is concluded that such a puncture will have an inconsequential influence on the activity release calculations of Section 4.3, Containment under Hypothetical Accident Conditions.
2.7-6
 
Docket No. 71-9393 CR3MP Safety Analysis Report                                                Rev. 0, August 2021 Consideration is also given to the effect of internal pressure due to the generation of water vapor from the grout in the fire event. The review assumes that no breach of the containment boundary has occurred before the regulatory fire event occurs. The resulting maximum stress is shown to be below allowable limits.
The evaluations of HAC in Section 2.7, Hypothetical Accident Conditions, along with the containment evaluation shown in Section 4.3, Containment under Hypothetical Accident Conditions, shows that the design criteria of Section 2.1.2, Design Criteria, have been met by the CR3MP.

Docket No. 71-9393 CR3MP Safety Analysis Report                                                Rev. 0, August 2021 3.0 THERMAL EVALUATION The following analysis demonstrates that the CR3MP complies with the thermal requirements of 10 CFR 71 [1] for exclusive use transport of the unique, one-time payload.
3.1 Description of Thermal Design 3.1.1 Design Features The CR3MP is a thick-walled steel shell constructed of ASTM A516 Grade 70 carbon steel. The package internal cavity has a 194.3-inch inner diameter and a 166.13-inch height. Both the top and bottom covers are 6-in. thick, while the shell wall is 3-in. thick. The exterior top and side package surfaces are painted white.
The CR3MP payload is comprised of the sectioned RPV along with the RVI components.
Within the RPV shell, the RVI components are surrounded by cellular concrete fill material (i.e., grout). The activated RVI components are constructed of carbon steel and stainless steel, with the majority of decay heat coming from Co-60. The RVI components are rigidly constrained as one body within the RPV by up to three different layers of grout, of which two layers may be a higher density mix (i.e., HDCC) and one layer is of lower density (i.e., LDCC).
If used, the HDCC (130 to 140 pcf) layers of grout may extend 18 inches above the bottom cut line and 18 inches below the top cut line. Where the HDCC is not used, all remaining volume within the RPV will be filled by LDCC (30 to 60 pcf) grout.
The RPV payload is approximately [        ] smaller in diameter than the packaging internal cavity.
Therefore, this radial annulus formed between the RPV outer shell and the CR3MP inner shell wall will be filled with the aforementioned LDCC grout, while the upper 3-in. gap above the RPV payload and bottom of the top cover is nominally free of grout.
3.1.2 Contents Decay Heat The maximum decay heat of the CR3MP payload is calculated in Section 5.2, Source Specification, based on a NAA of the RVI components within the payload. A bounding value of 500 W is set to characterize the payload decay heat. All decay heat is conservatively modeled as a volumetric heat source within the payload steel.
3.1.3 Summary Tables of Temperatures The CR3MP is shipped vertically-oriented under exclusive use requirements. For exclusive use under NCT and HAC, the following load conditions are analyzed:
    -  NCT Hot with Insolation: Per 10 CFR 71.71(c)(1) [1], the package is evaluated with an ambient air temperature of 38 °C (100 °F), maximum decay heat, and maximum insolation to determine maximum component temperatures during NCT.
    -  NCT Hot without Insolation: Per 10 CFR 71.43(g) [1], the package is evaluated with an ambient air temperature of 38 °C (100 °F), maximum decay heat, and in shade to verify no accessible surface of the package exceeds 85 °C (185 °F).
3.1-1
 
Docket No. 71-9393 CR3MP Safety Analysis Report                                                Rev. 0, August 2021
      -  NCT Cold: Per 10 CFR 71.71(c)(2) [1], the package is evaluated with an ambient air temperature of -40 °C (-40 °F), minimum decay heat, and in shade to determine minimum component temperatures during NCT.
      -  HAC Fire Transient: Per 10 CFR 71.73(c)(4) [1], the package is evaluated engulfed in flame (or equivalent condition) for a period of 30 minutes to determine maximum component temperatures during HAC. The fire load must simulate an average flame temperature of at least 800 °C (1475 °F) with an average flame emissivity coefficient of 0.9. The package surface absorptivity coefficient should be based on expected package conditions, but may not be less than 0.8. The most limiting NCT conditions (NCT Hot) are maintained before and after the fire event.
Temperatures for the CR3MP are computed using ANSYS 19.2 (Mechanical via Workbench).
CR3MP component temperatures resulting from the worst-case conditions specified by 10 CFR 71 are summarized in Table 3.1-1 and Table 3.1-2. All temperatures are below applicable limits. Note, grout bulk temperature (rather than peak) is limited based on pressure calculations and thus no explicit maximum temperature limit is applied.

Docket No. 71-9393 CR3MP Safety Analysis Report                                                              Rev. 0, August 2021 3.2 Material Properties and Component Specifications 3.2.1 Material Properties The material properties for package carbon steel and payload stainless steel are taken from Tables TCD and PRD in [2]. The payload is a mixture of carbon steel and stainless steel, but is modeled solely as stainless steel. Stainless steel has lower thermal conductivity than carbon steel, and thus its use in payload modeling results in conservatively high temperatures. The density of carbon steel is set to 7750 kg/m3, while the density of stainless steel is set to 8030 kg/m3. Specific heat, Cp, is calculated from the thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity, and density values (k, , and  respectively) in [2] using the following relation:
                                                        =
The material properties for carbon steel and stainless steel are shown in Table 3.2-1 and Table 3.2-2, respectively.
The exterior top and side surfaces of the package will be painted with white paint. Per Table 4.2 of [3], the solar absorptivity of white paint ranges from 0.18 to 0.34 while the emissivity ranges from 0.88 to 0.92. To maximize heat flow into the package and minimize heat flow out, the solar absorptivity and emissivity values are assumed to be 0.34 and 0.88 respectively for NCT. For HAC, the solar absorptivity and emissivity values rise to 0.8 and 0.9 as required by [1].
The package inner surfaces will not be painted. The emissivity of rough steel is assumed to be 0.95 [9], while the emissivity of concrete can be assumed to be 0.90 [15]. For radiation across the internal air gap, the package inner surface is modeled with an emissivity of 0.95 while the payload surface is modeled with an emissivity of 0.90.
HDCC is conservatively not modeled as there is no minimum requirement for HDCC thickness at either the top or bottom of the payload. The LDCC has a minimum as-cast density of 30 pcf (481 kg/m3). Limited data for thermal conductivity and specific heat of grout is available in [4]
and [5]. For thermal conductivity, values are reported as a function of oven-dry density rather than as-cast density. Equation 6.1.2.3b in [5] provides a means to estimate oven-dry density, D, from as-cast density, f:
kg
                                                = [  122]
m3 Based on Figure 3.4 in [4], thermal conductivity as a function of oven-dry density follows exponential behavior. Thus, the thermal conductivity of the LDCC is calculated from an exponential curve fitted to the available data points. This curve fitting is shown in Figure 3.2-1.
Minimum grout densities are utilized resulting in conservatively low thermal conductivities. The resulting material properties for grout are shown in Table 3.2-3. The specific heat of grout is set to 980 J/kgK per [5]1. All modeling uses as-cast density rather than oven-dry density.
1 The specific heat of 0.98 J/kgK stated in [5] is incorrect and does not match the corresponding value stated in U.S.
customary units (0.23 BTU/lb&deg;F). A literature review (see Table 1 in [6]) confirms this correction.

Docket No. 71-9393 CR3MP Safety Analysis Report                                                Rev. 0, August 2021 Grout thermal properties are not adjusted to account for changes in temperature and thus are modeled as singular values. Per Table 2 and Figure 85 in [7], lightweight concretes with densities and thermal conductivities similar to the CR3MP grout have relatively constant thermal conductivities across a wide range of temperatures (0 &deg;C to 1000 &deg;C). Figures 94 through 97 in
[7] show concrete specific heat increases with increases in temperature. Since higher specific heat values oppose increases in temperature, it is conservative to not account for this behavior.
The thermal properties of air are used directly within ANSYS as well as for calculation of convective heat transfer coefficients. Air properties are taken from Table A.6 in [8] and are shown in Table 3.2-4.

Docket No. 71-9393 CR3MP Safety Analysis Report                                                Rev. 0, August 2021 3.2.2 Component Specifications For NCT, the maximum allowable temperature for the carbon steel package is based on the maximum temperature limits in Table 2A of [2] (SA 516 Gr. 70, applicability limit for Part III).
The maximum allowable temperature for NCT is 371 &deg;C (700 &deg;F). For HAC, the maximum allowable temperature for the carbon steel package is based on the melting temperature of carbon steel. Per Table 4 of [9], carbon steel begins melting at 1495 &deg;C (2723 &deg;F).
For steel within the payload, credit is taken for components remaining in the loading configuration throughout transport. Thus, similar to the package steel, the NCT maximum allowable temperature is based on Table 2A of [2] (SA-240 Gr. 304 for stainless steel) and the HAC maximum allowable temperature is based on the melting temperature in Table 4 of [9].
Since both carbon steel and stainless steel exist in the payload, the lower of the two limits is applied for both NCT and HAC. The maximum allowable temperatures for the payload steel are 371 &deg;C (700&deg;F) and 1400 &deg;C (2552 &deg;F) for NCT and HAC, respectively.
No explicit temperature limits, for either NCT or HAC, are applied to either density of grout.
The primary concern for high grout temperatures is the bulk release of water vapor generating internal pressure within the CR3MP. Thus, acceptance of the NCT and HAC grout temperatures is based on pressure calculations.
The minimum allowable temperature for all CR3MP components is below -40 &deg;C (-40 &deg;F). Steel components will not be negatively affected as the strength characteristics improve as component temperatures decrease [10]. Cellular concrete has excellent resistance to freezing and thawing due to its high cement content and extended internal void structure, with strength even improving after freezing and thawing [5]. Thus, the payload grout will not be compromised by reduced temperatures.

Docket No. 71-9393 CR3MP Safety Analysis Report                                                Rev. 0, August 2021 3.3 Thermal Evaluation under Normal Conditions of Transport Temperatures for the CR3MP are computed using ANSYS 19.2 (Mechanical via Workbench).
Two steady-state thermal runs are performed to evaluate the maximum NCT temperatures with and without solar insolation. No thermal run is performed to evaluate minimum temperatures.
The package is simulated using a 2D, axisymmetric (i.e., cylindrical symmetry) model. The LDCC is modeled as multiple individual regions. While LDCC is used throughout the model, two regions corresponding to the maximum HDCC volumes are identified in the model. These regions are used to support the conservative pressure calculations in Appendix 3.5.2, Evaluation of Pressure in the CR3MP. The payload steel is split into two regions: the RPV shell wall and a centrally-located slug containing the remaining volume of payload steel. Modeling the RVI as a centrally-located slug and not extending the steel to the bottom and top of the RPV was a conservative simplifying assumption. The grout is more insulating than steel (i.e., lower conductivity); therefore, the payload peak temperature is maximized internally. Except for the air gap at the top of the payload, regions are modeled with shared nodes and thus there is no additional thermal resistance to heat transfer between materials. Due to the large size of the package and grouted payload, gaps are expected to be small and have an insignificant effect on heat transfer relative to the bulk materials. The air gap does not use shared nodes to allow modeling of radiation heat transfer across the gap.
All decay heat is conservatively concentrated in the payload steel slug since the RPV contains only a small fraction of the total decay heat. Insolation is modeled on the top and side surfaces, as the CR3MP will be shipped in a vertical orientation. Since the CR3MP is thermally massive, component temperatures will be effectively decoupled from diurnal changes in insolation loading. Thus, steady-state modeling with constant insolation loads, equal to the 10 CFR 71.71(c) [1] 12-hour total insolation loads averaged over 24 hours, can be used to evaluate maximum component temperatures under NCT. The modeled insolation loads, qmodel, are calculated as a function of the regulation-specified 12-hour total insolation loads, qspecified, and the solar absorptivity, a:
                                        =
24 For NCT, the insolation loads for the top (flat surface transported horizontally) and side (curved surface) surfaces are 131.72 W/m2 and 65.86 W/m2, respectively.
Radiation and convection to 38 &deg;C ambient is modeled at the top and side surfaces, while the bottom surface is modeled with no heat transfer mechanisms (i.e., perfectly insulated).
Calculation of convective heat transfer coefficients for use in ANSYS is discussed in Appendix 3.5.3, Natural Convection Heat Transfer.
The mesh is defined to have quadrilateral elements of ~0.05 m side lengths. The resulting mesh has 14,512 nodes and 4,677 elements. A mesh refinement study has been performed to confirm that the mesh is sufficiently detailed and results to do not change significantly with increases in the number of nodes and elements.
The thermal model is shown in Figure 3.3-1. Model dimensions are shown in Table 3.3-1.
Modeling is done with nominal dimensions as tolerances are very small relative to their corresponding dimensions.

The maximum distribution throughout the package is shown in Figure 3.3-2. All components are below their allowable temperature limits.
No modeling of minimum temperatures is performed. For the minimum temperature condition (no decay heat and -40 &deg;C ambient air), as shown in Table 3.1-1, all components will eventually reach -40 &deg;C steady-state. Per Section 3.2.2, Component Specifications, this temperature is acceptable for all components.

Docket No. 71-9393 CR3MP Safety Analysis Report                                                Rev. 0, August 2021 3.4 Thermal Evaluation under Hypothetical Accident Conditions The NCT thermal model described in Section 3.3, Thermal Evaluation under Normal Conditions of Transport is reused for the HAC analysis. Geometry and general model design are unchanged. Specific parameters are adjusted as discussed below to model the HAC fire event.
3.4.1 Initial Conditions The initial conditions assumed for the package prior to the HAC fire transient are as follows:
    -  Package temperatures are initialized based on NCT maximum temperature conditions.
These maximums are calculated at steady-state with 38 &deg;C ambient air and insolation loads based on undamaged package surfaces.
    -  For pre- and post-fire steady-state analysis, package orientation is vertical as this orientation results in lower heat removal to ambient and higher insolation loads. For the fire event, package orientation is horizontal so all sides are exposed to the fire and heat flow into the package is maximized.
    -  The surface absorptivity of all external surfaces is increased to 0.8 in order to account for possible oxidation and/or soot accumulation.
3.4.2 Fire Test Conditions The HAC fire transient is evaluated as follows:
    -  At initiation of the fire (t = 0), any heat removal due to convection to ambient as well as insolation loads are suspended. The ambient air temperature is increased to 800 &deg;C, resulting in a heat flux into the package. A surface emissivity of 0.9 conservatively bounds the 10 CFR 71 [1] fire conditions.
    -  As part of the HAC, it is assumed a crack may form at the lower corner of the package.
As such, the fire radiation condition is also applied to an exposed 3-in. segment of internal grout at the lower corner to simulate direct exposure to the fire. This crack is shown in Figure 3.4-1.
    -  At termination of the fire (t = 30 minutes), the ambient air temperature is reduced to 38 &deg;C. For the post fire transient analysis, convective heat removal is not restored.
Increased insolation loads (due to increased post-fire solar absorptivity) are applied. The insolation loads for the top and side surfaces are 309.93 W/m2 and 154.96 W/m2, respectively.
    -  To allow for any transient temperature responses to subside, the transient is evaluated for a period of 1 day.
    -  A post-fire steady-state model (t  ) is evaluated using the post-fire conditions described above to determine the steady-state maximum temperatures. Convective heat removal is applied for this portion of the analysis.

Docket No. 71-9393 CR3MP Safety Analysis Report                                                            Rev. 0, August 2021 The 10 CFR 71 [1] prescribed fire condition results in the following heat flux, qfire:
4        4
                                    = (    ) (  )
Where:
    -    : surface absorptivity
    -    : Stefan-Boltzmann constant
    -    : fire emissivity
    -    ,  : fire and surface temperatures (absolute)
Per [11], the fire heat flux resulting from the convection (rather than radiation) can be up to 20%
of the total. Thus, the prescribed fire heat flux can be reduced to the following:
4 1
                                    = (0.8)((0.9)    4 ) (            )
1  0.2 4
                                                  = (0.9    4 )
For simplicity, the fire is conservatively modeled using a radiation condition with the CR3MP surface emissivity, surface, set to 0.9.
4                          4

The maximum temperatures achieved throughout the CR3MP (for each node at any time step) are shown in Figure 3.4-2, while the post-fire steady-state temperature distribution is shown in Figure 3.4-3. Fire transient maximums are achieved at or shortly after termination of the fire (30 minutes  t  60 minutes).
All components are below their temperature limits.
The maximum temperature of the weld region connecting the end closure plate to the side shell, not including the region of the opening crack, is 493 &deg;C.
Maximum pressure is calculated in Appendix 3.5.2, Evaluation of Pressure in the CR3MP. This calculation conservatively assumes that the damage to the containment boundary discussed in Section 3.4.2, Fire Test Conditions, has not prevented the retention of pressure.

A leak-tight containment boundary is obtained by means of thick, volumetrically inspected closure welds. The containment boundary of the CR3MP consists of the bottom closure plate cover, the cylindrical shell, and the top closure plate cover. All containment boundary components are made from ASTM A516/ASME SA516, Grade70 carbon steel. A full description of the packaging is given in Chapter 1.0, General Information.
4.1.2 Containment Penetrations, Closures, and Seals There are no valves, ports, bolted closures, or seals in the containment boundary. The package is permanently welded closed after placement of the payload and annular packaging grout.
4.1.3 Welds The weld material meets the requirements of ASME BPVC, Subsection ND, Subarticle ND-2400
[1]. All welds used in the containment boundary are full penetration and volumetrically inspected to ensure structural and containment integrity. The weld inspections that are performed are discussed in Section 2.3.2, Examination.

The results of the NCT structural and thermal evaluations presented in Sections 2.6, Normal Conditions of Transport, and 3.3, Thermal Evaluation under Normal Conditions of Transport, respectively, demonstrate that there is no release of radioactive materials under any of the NCT tests described in 10 CFR 71.71. While some damage occurs to the closure weld in the NCT one foot, CG over corner free drop, the weld remains intact, thus maintaining containment (see section 2.6.7.3, NCT CG over Corner Drop).

Docket No. 71-9393 CR3MP Safety Analysis Report                                              Rev. 0, August 2021 4.3 Containment under Hypothetical Accident Conditions The containment criterion for HAC is stated in Section 2.1.2, Design Criteria, and is based on 10 CFR 71.51(a)(2) [2]: there shall be no escape of krypton-85 exceeding 10 A2 in one week, and no escape of other radioactive contents exceeding one A2 in one week. Under HAC, the immersion and thermal evaluations performed in Sections 2.7, Hypothetical Accident Conditions, and 3.4, Thermal Evaluation under Hypothetical Accident Conditions, respectively, show no release of radioactive material. Under the HAC free drop and puncture events, some release of radioactive material may occur, however, as demonstrated in this section, the containment criterion of 10 CFR 71.51 is met by the CR3MP. The following evaluation provides a conservative estimate of the maximum amount of radioactivity that could be released under HAC by the free drop and puncture events.
Regarding the puncture test condition, Section 2.7.3.2, Puncture on the Package Body Shell, contains a discussion of the effect of the HAC puncture event on potential release of contamination. As concluded from that discussion, no significant release of contaminated grout is to be expected from the puncture event.

5.1 Description of Shielding Design 5.1.1 Design Features The CR3MP is a relatively thick-walled, sealed cylinder constructed of ASTM A516 Grade 70 carbon steel. The package internal cavity has a 194.3-in. nominal diameter and a 166.13-in.
nominal height. The top and bottom axial package walls are 6-in. thick, while the side package wall is 3-in. thick.
The CR3MP payload is comprised of activated RPV and RVI surrounded by cellular concrete fill material (i.e. grout). [
                              ]
The CR3MP payload is slightly smaller than the package internal cavity. All free volume outside the RPV will be filled with an additional volume of LDCC grout. There will be a 3-in.

The requirements for exclusive use under NCT and HAC, per 10 CFR 71.47(b) and 10 CFR 71.51(a)(2) [1],
respectively, are summarized and applied as follows:
Limits for NCT
    -  200 mrem/hr on the external surface of the package
    -  200 mrem/hr at the projected outer surfaces of the transport vehicle
    -  10 mrem/hr at any point 2 meters from the projected side surfaces of the transport vehicle (Note: per 10 CFR 71.47(b)(3) excludes the top and underside of the vehicle in Table 5.1-1)
    -  2 mrem/hr in any normally occupied space Limits for HAC
    -  1000 mrem/hr at any point 1 meter from the outer surface of the package The external surfaces of the package are conservatively used as the projected outer surfaces of the transport vehicle. Any normally occupied space is assumed to be at least 25 feet from the centerline of the package.
Summaries of the maximum dose rates are shown in Table 5.1-1 and Table 5.1-2 for NCT and HAC, respectively. Based on these results, it can be concluded that the CR3MP complies with the external radiation requirements of 10 CFR 71 for exclusive use transport.

Carbon steel is modeled per [5] (material 294, Steel, Carbon) and shown in Table 5.3-2. The payload steel is conservatively modeled as solely carbon steel. The package carbon steel uses a reference density of 7.82 g/cm3, while the payload carbon steel uses a reduced density of 6.92 g/cm3 to offset the increase in component volume due to the conversion to voxels. This reduced density, payload steel, is a function of the payload component masses, mi, and the component voxel volumes,  :
                                            =
The payload grout is modeled as Portland concrete per [5] (material 98, Concrete, Portland).
All grout is conservatively modeled as LDCC. The grout density is the set to minimum as-cast density of 0.48 g/cm3 (30 pcf). The grout composition is shown in Table 5.3-3.

All modeling is done in three dimensions. A quarter-symmetry package shielding model is utilized. The packaging and payload are symmetric across the x- and y- axes (radial axes), and thus a quarter-symmetry model utilizing reflective x- and y- axes is acceptable. The CR3MP payload is modeled as reduced density carbon steel and LDCC, while the packaging is modeled as standard density carbon steel. A 3-in. air gap exists between the top of the payload and the package lid, which is modeled as void. Any volume outside the CR3MP is also modeled as void.

Docket No. 71-9393 CR3MP Safety Analysis Report                                                Rev. 0, August 2021 Separate runs are performed to model the activation and contamination sources. [
                                                          ] Each source is composed of individual voxel probabilities describing the portion of the total source strength located within the associated voxel. Source particle starting position is sampled uniformly within associated voxel volumes.
For NCT, the payload and packaging are modeled without damage. For HAC, the welds may fail in limited areas and allow for some release of grout. The damage to the CR3MP is insignificant with respect to shielding and thus no CR3MP damage is modeled. The loss of grout may be significant and is conservatively modeled by removing all grout outside the RPV outer radius, bounding the grout loss during HAC.
5.4.2 Flux-to-Dose Rate Conversion American National Standards Institute ANSI/ANS-6.1.1-1977 photon flux-to-dose rate conversion factors [8] are used in this analysis. The reference conversion factors have been multiplied by a factor of 1,000 to generate dose rates in units of mrem/hr rather than rem/hr. The conversion factors are provided in Table 5.4-1.

The occupied location dose rate is calculated with a side tally located 25 feet from the CR3MP centerline. For HAC, 1 meter dose rates are calculated using three tallies located 1 meter from the top, bottom, and side surfaces.
The maximum dose rates for each location along with associated relative errors are shown in Table 5.4-2. [                                              ]

The CR3MP is a 10 CFR Part 71, exclusive use Type B package used for a onetime shipment and disposal of a portion of the CR3 RPV at a licensed low level radioactive waste disposal facility. Since the package is permanently sealed and will be buried with its contents, the Preparation of Empty Package for Transport as defined in Regulatory Guide 7.9 does not apply. For the same reason, package opening instructions as stated in 10 CFR 71.89 are not applicable. In addition, operational controls and precautions as described in 10 CFR 71.35(c) for fissile material packages does not apply since the package is fissile exempt.
All the required operations discussed in this chapter will be performed in accordance with written procedures approved under the licensees QA Program.
7.1 Procedures for Loading the Package This section delineates the procedures for loading the payload into the CR3MP. The CR3MP is loaded and closed in accordance with detailed written procedures, the contents are authorized in the package approval, and the package is in unimpaired physical condition. [

Docket No. 71-9393 CR3MP Safety Analysis Report                                                Rev. 0, August 2021 8.0 ACCEPTANCE TESTS AND MAINTENANCE PROGRAM This section describes the acceptance tests and the maintenance program that shall be used on the CR3MP to ensure compliance with its design requirements, and the requirements of Subpart G of 10 CFR 71 [1].
8.1 Acceptance Tests Per the requirements of 10 CFR &sect;71.85, this section discusses the inspections and tests to be performed prior to first use of the CR3MP for transportation activities. Acceptance criteria for all inspections and tests are found either on the drawings in Appendix 1.3.2, Packaging General Arrangement Drawings, or in the sections that follow. All the tests and inspections on the CR3MP described in this chapter are conducted and documented in accordance with written procedures approved under an NRC approved QA program.
8.1.1 Visual Inspection and Measurements The CR3MP packaging is visually inspected and measured to ensure that all of the requirements delineated on the SAR drawing in Appendix 1.3.2, Packaging General Arrangement Drawings are satisfied. [
                        ]
8.1.2 Weld Examinations The locations, types, and sizes of all welds are identified and recorded to ensure compliance with the SAR drawing in Appendix 1.3.2, Packaging General Arrangement Drawings. All welds are Visually Examined (VT) in accordance with the SAR drawing.
All containment boundary welds are in accordance with Subarticle ND-5300 of the ASME BPVC [2]. The Category A and B cover and shell welds are specified to have a full RT examination along with MT or PT examinations on both the inner and outer surfaces . In lieu of the RT requirement of Subsubarticle ND-5230, and in accordance with Paragraph ND-5279, NDE of the Category C closure joints (both top and bottom covers) includes a full volumetric UT of the final weld joint. In addition, either a MT or PT examination is also performed on the Category C closure joint welds on both the inner/outer finished surfaces of the bottom cover and root/final pass of the top cover outer finished surface.

Docket No. 71-9393 CR3MP Safety Analysis Report                                                Rev. 0, August 2021 8.1.3 Structural and Pressure Tests 8.1.3.1 Lifting Device Load Testing 8.1.3.2 Containment Boundary Pressure Testing 10 CFR 71.85(b) stipulates testing the containment system at an internal pressure at least 50 percent higher than the MNOP of 15 psig or a value of 1.5 x 15 = 22.5 psig. Chapter 2.0, Structural Evaluation, documents the analyses that demonstrate the structural integrity of the CR3MP containment boundary under a differential pressure of 26.2 psi. Using the differential pressure bounds the value of 1.5 times the MNOP. The bounding pressure loading stress analysis in Section 2.6.1.3.1, Stresses Due to Pressure Loading, evaluates the stresses at the outside edge of the closure plate weld, assuming a fixed edge. This results in a margin of safety of +1.65 as shown in Section 2.6.1.3.2, Comparison with Allowable Stresses.
Thus, the 71.85(b) preliminary determination regarding the capability of the containment system to maintain its structural integrity at 1.5 times the MNOP is maintained. As such, based on this analysis showing an appropriate safety factor, no pressure test will be performed. Furthermore, the analysis confirms the CR3MP integrity under NCT provides assurance the radioactive materials will remain contained in the package and meets the requirements of 10 CFR 71.85(b).
8.1.4 Leakage Tests The containment boundary consists of a welded cylindrical steel shell plus top and bottom plates welded to the shell. The welds which are used to fabricate the shell and the top and bottom covers along with the closure joint welds between the shell and covers undergo examinations as stated in Sections 8.1.1, Visual Inspection and Measurements and 8.1.2, Weld Examinations in order to ensure that the welds are sound and continuous. [
              ] As concluded in Section 4.2, Containment under Normal Conditions of Transport, the package integrity under NCT provides assurance that the radioactive materials will remain contained in the package and that there is no release of radioactive materials under any of the NCT tests described in 10 CFR 71.71. The discussion in Section 4.3, Containment under Hypothetical Accident Conditions, shows that in the event of a partial loss of containment under HAC, the released radioactivity levels are within the limits of 10 CFR 71. As a result, leakage rate tests are not applicable to the CR3MP.

Docket No. 71-9393 CR3MP Safety Analysis Report                                                Rev. 0, August 2021 8.1.5 Component and Material Tests 8.1.5.1 Steel Shell, Covers and Welds The containment shell and top and bottom covers consist of a welded steel enclosure used for the transportation and disposal of the RPV. Plate material is to be provided with certified mechanical and chemical test reports in compliance with the SAR drawing in Appendix 1.3.2, Packaging General Arrangement Drawings. In addition, material tests of the base metal and weld filler metal are completed in compliance with the SAR drawing.
8.1.5.2 Low Density Cellular Concrete Both the LDCC within the RPV and that between the CR3MP interior shell and the outside of the RPV shall have both density and compressive strength confirmed. A minimum of two sample cylinders are to be molded for each LDCC placement using ASTM C495 [3] for guidance. The wet cast density is measured and recorded using guidance from ASTM C567 [4]
at the point of placement. The mix is adjusted as required in order to obtain the specified cast density of 30-60 pcf. The minimum compressive strength of the LDCC is to be 100 psi at 7 days when tested in accordance with ASTM C495 [3].
8.1.5.3 High Density Cellular Concrete The HDCC within the RPV, if used, shall have both the density and compressive strength confirmed. A minimum of two sample cylinders are to be molded for each HDCC placement using ASTM C495 [3] for guidance. The wet cast density is measured and recorded using guidance from ASTM C567 [4] at the point of placement. The mix is adjusted as required in order to obtain the specified cast density of 130-140 pcf. The minimum compressive strength of the HDCC is to be 100 psi at 7 days when tested in accordance with ASTM C495 [3].
8.1.6 Shielding Tests As discussed below, shielding tests prior to final acceptance for shipment are not required for the CR3MP. CR3MP fabrication is performed in accordance with the OFS QA Program, which provides assurance that the as-built package is constructed in compliance with the design requirements described in this SAR. The controlled processes for loading the package described in Section 7.1, Procedures for Loading the Package, the weld examinations described in Sections 8.1.1, Visual Inspection and Measurements and 8.1.2, Weld Examinations, and the pre-shipment dose rate surveys discussed in Section 7.1.3, Preparation of the CR3MP for Transport, confirm the adequacy of the shielding as required by the package design.
Moreover, Chapter 5.0, Shielding Evaluation, provides calculated dose rates that are based upon a bounding estimate of the contents and the package built to the certified design using certified materials. Notably, the calculated dose rates are bounded by the regulatory limits defined in 10 CFR 71.47 [1].

Docket No. 71-9393 CR3MP Safety Analysis Report                                              Rev. 0, August 2021 8.1.7 Thermal Tests Tests to demonstrate the heat transfer capability of the CR3MP are not required because the thermal evaluations presented in Chapter 3.0, Thermal Evaluation, are based on conservative heat transfer properties and methodologies. In addition, the CR3MP design does not incorporate active heat transfer features nor are passive heat transfer mechanisms particularly sensitive to normal variations in the materials of construction or fabrication methods. As such, the CR3MP is capable of withstanding temperatures within its design envelope, therefore thermal testing is not applicable. See Chapter 3.0, Thermal Evaluation for further discussions.
8.1.8 Miscellaneous Tests No additional tests are necessary to be performed prior to use of the CR3MP.
