PREAMBLE

a. This certificate is issued to certify that the package (packaging and contents) described in Item 5 below meets the applicable safety standards set forth in Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 71, "Packaging and Transportatio*n of Radioactive Material."
b. This certificate does not relieve the consignor from compliance with any requirement of the regulations of the U.S. Department of Transportation or other applicable regulatory agencies, including the government of any country through or into which the package will be transported.
3.

THIS CERTIFICATE IS ISSUED ON THE BASIS OF A SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORT OF THE PACKAGE DESIGN OR APPLICATION

The package carries a maximum of (i) two Boilin~)J\\.l,9t:~t Reactor(B\\Jy,~) fuel asi;H~mblies or,Jn¢ividual rods, meeting the ASTM C996-96 st,andard of enrig_tied*9Ph1m-~r;cial grade ~*ranium, §!Jlriched reprocessed uranium, or (ii) uranium oxitj,13 generic pressurizeCl)N'a~~f-:;reactor (PWR) or l:.lfs;ihium carbide loose fuel rods in a 5 inch diameter stainless steel pipe.' !i, The package is comprised of one inner container and one outer container both made of stainless steel. The inner container has aaouble-wa[LstainlesE; steel sheet structure with an alumina silicate thermal insulator, filling the gap betweel'l the two walls, to reduce the flow of the heat into the contents in the, event of a fire. Foam polyethylene cushioning material is placed on the inside of the inner container for protection of the fuel assembly.

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