Model Nos.: Traveller STD, Traveller XL, Traveller VVER (2)
 
Description The Traveller package is designed to transport fresh uranium fuel assemblies with enrichment up to 5.0 weight percent or rods with enrichment up to 7.0 weight percent. The package is designed to carry one fuel assembly or one container for loose rods. The package consists of three components: 1) an outerpack, 2) a clamshell, and 3) a fuel assembly or rod container.
(1) Model Nos.: Traveller STD, Traveller XL, Traveller VVER
The outerpack serves as the primary impact and thermal protection for the fuel assembly and also provides for lifting, stacking, and tie down during transportation. Two independent impact limiters consisting of two sections of foam of different densities sandwiched between three layers of sheet metal are integral parts of the outerpack. Polyethylene foam sheeting may be positioned between the clamshell and the lower outerpack to augment shock absorbing characteristics during routine transportation. A weather gasket between the mating surfaces of the upper and lower outerpack provides a barrier to prevent rain from entering the package.
 
The purpose of the Clamshell is to protect the contents during routine handling and limit rearrangement of the contents in the event of a transport accident. During routine handling, the Clamshell doors open to load the contents and are secured with multi-point cammed

Description (Continued) latches and hinge pins. The Clamshell is a part of the confinement system that protects and restrains the fuel assembly or fuel rod tube contents during all transport conditions. Neutron absorber plates are installed on the inside surface of the clamshell along the full length of each main door and the top door.
There are two general types of clamshells used, a typical rectangular clamshell, and a hexagonal VVER Clamshell. The rectangular clamshell is used in both the Traveller STD and XL packages, with minor differences between the two. The VVER Clamshell is used in the Traveller VVER package. The STD/XL Clamshell consists of an aluminum v extrusion strong back. The VVER Clamshell is similar in build to the STD/XL Clamshell, however it has been designed for the transport of hexagonal fuel assemblies. All clamshell designs consist of an aluminum base and two aluminum panel doors, bottom and top end plates, and similar multi-point cammed latch closure mechanism. The clamshells use piano-type hinges (continuous hinges) to connect each main door to the strong back. The strong back and bottom plate are lined with a cork rubber pad to cushion and protect the contents during normal handling and transport conditions. The clamshell is fastened to the lower outerpack using shock absorbing rubber mounts.

The Traveller package is designed to carry loose rods using a rod pipe. The rod pipe consists of either a 15.2 cm (6 in.) stainless steel pipe or a 20.3 cm (8 in.) aluminum pipe.
The Traveller package is designed to carry loose rods using a rod pipe. The rod pipe consists of either a 15.2 cm (6 in.) stainless steel pipe or a 20.3 cm (8 in.) aluminum pipe.
The 6-inch Rod Pipe consists of a 6 in. (15.2 cm) 304 stainless steel, Schedule 40 pipe with 304 stainless steel closures at each end. The end closures are a 0.25 in. (6.35 mm) thick cover secured to a flange fabricated from 0.25 in. (6.35 mm) thick plate. The 8-inch Rod Pipe consists of an extruded aluminum pipe with an 8 in. (20.32 cm) nominal inner diameter and 8.5 in. (21.59 cm) nominal outer diameter, with aluminum plate closures at each end.

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

(a) Packaging (1)

Model Nos.: Traveller STD, Traveller XL, Traveller VVER (2)

Description The Traveller package is designed to transport fresh uranium fuel assemblies with enrichment up to 5.0 weight percent or rods with enrichment up to 7.0 weight percent. The package is designed to carry one fuel assembly or one container for loose rods. The package consists of three components: 1) an outerpack, 2) a clamshell, and 3) a fuel assembly or rod container.

The outerpack serves as the primary impact and thermal protection for the fuel assembly and also provides for lifting, stacking, and tie down during transportation. Two independent impact limiters consisting of two sections of foam of different densities sandwiched between three layers of sheet metal are integral parts of the outerpack. Polyethylene foam sheeting may be positioned between the clamshell and the lower outerpack to augment shock absorbing characteristics during routine transportation. A weather gasket between the mating surfaces of the upper and lower outerpack provides a barrier to prevent rain from entering the package.

The purpose of the Clamshell is to protect the contents during routine handling and limit rearrangement of the contents in the event of a transport accident. During routine handling, the Clamshell doors open to load the contents and are secured with multi-point cammed

Description (Continued) latches and hinge pins. The Clamshell is a part of the confinement system that protects and restrains the fuel assembly or fuel rod tube contents during all transport conditions. Neutron absorber plates are installed on the inside surface of the clamshell along the full length of each main door and the top door.

There are two general types of clamshells used, a typical rectangular clamshell, and a hexagonal VVER Clamshell. The rectangular clamshell is used in both the Traveller STD and XL packages, with minor differences between the two. The VVER Clamshell is used in the Traveller VVER package. The STD/XL Clamshell consists of an aluminum v extrusion strong back. The VVER Clamshell is similar in build to the STD/XL Clamshell, however it has been designed for the transport of hexagonal fuel assemblies. All clamshell designs consist of an aluminum base and two aluminum panel doors, bottom and top end plates, and similar multi-point cammed latch closure mechanism. The clamshells use piano-type hinges (continuous hinges) to connect each main door to the strong back. The strong back and bottom plate are lined with a cork rubber pad to cushion and protect the contents during normal handling and transport conditions. The clamshell is fastened to the lower outerpack using shock absorbing rubber mounts.

The Traveller package is designed to carry loose rods using a rod pipe. The rod pipe consists of either a 15.2 cm (6 in.) stainless steel pipe or a 20.3 cm (8 in.) aluminum pipe.

The 6-inch Rod Pipe consists of a 6 in. (15.2 cm) 304 stainless steel, Schedule 40 pipe with 304 stainless steel closures at each end. The end closures are a 0.25 in. (6.35 mm) thick cover secured to a flange fabricated from 0.25 in. (6.35 mm) thick plate. The 8-inch Rod Pipe consists of an extruded aluminum pipe with an 8 in. (20.32 cm) nominal inner diameter and 8.5 in. (21.59 cm) nominal outer diameter, with aluminum plate closures at each end.

The end closures are a 1 in. (2.54 cm) thick cover secured to a flange fabricated from 1.5 in. (3.81 cm) thick plate.

There are three models of the Traveller packaging: the Traveller STD, the Traveller XL and the Traveller VVER.
