Transportation Certification Branch Anroval Record Model No. H-100 series 2 Packaoe Docket No. 71-9079 (REVISED)

By application dated April 14, 1986, as supplemented June 30, 1986, Westinghouse Hittman Huclear Incorporated requested a change to the authorized contents of Certificate of Compliance No. 9079 to allow additional contents in the packaging for two, one-time shipments.

During the solidification canpaign and in preparation of the radioactive shipment records, it was discovered that liner Nos.19 and 23 (HN-100 sized liners) had been solidified containing greater than LSA concentrations of Sr-90 and exceeds the cumulative LSA concentration limits for mixtures of radionuclides. The quantity of Sr-90 in both liners is greater than A2. Specific details on each liner are listed below.

Liner #19 #23 Specific Activity of Sr-90 0.027 0.019 (milli ci/gs) in liner LSA limit (milli ci/gm from 0.005 0.005 10 CFR Part 71.4 .

Since the solidified waste package is greater than LSA concentrations and greater than an A2 quantity, a Type B package would be required. A Type B package for these liners does not exist.

Both Westinghouse liittman Nuclear Incorporated and GPU Nuclear Corporation are expected to take steps to preclude radioactive material levels in excess of current 10 CFR Part 71 limits.

l In view of the alternative to repackage the solidified waste and the limited dispersibility of the waste as solidified, the two shipments are l exempted from Type B packaging of 10 CFR Part 71 in accordance with the

statements and conditions of Westinghouse Hittman Nuclear Incorporated letter dated April 14, 1986, as supplemented June 30, 1986 It is concluded that the exemption for these limited shiprents will not endanger life or property.
