- a. ISSUED TO (Name and Address) b. TITLE AND IDENTIFICATION OF REPORT OR APPLICATION Orano NCS GmbH Safety Analysis Report of the DN30 Package Margarete-von-Wrangell-Strae 7 0023-BSH-2016-002-Rev. 3.
D-63457 Hanau - GERMANY
- 4. CONDITIONS
This certificate is conditional upon fulfilling the requirements of 10 CFR Part 71, as applicable, and the conditions specified below.
5.
(a) Packaging
(1) Model No.: DN30
(2) Description
The DN30 packaging consists of the protective structural packaging (PSP) and the 30B uranium hexafluoride (UF6) cylinder as specified in ANSI N14.1.
The DN30 PSP is a right circular cylinder constructed of two austenitic stainless steel shells:
(i) the bottom half with integrated feet, a valve protecting device, a plug protecting device, two rotation preventing devices, lower part of the closure system (consisting of six devices),
and handling attachment points, and (ii) the top half with the upper part of the closure system and integrated handling attachment points for the top half.
For both the bottom and top halves of the PSP, the cavity between the inner and outer shells and the flange is filled with a polyisocyanurate rigid (PIR) foam with a layer of 10 mm thermal insulation between the inner shell and the foam. All the surfaces of the inner shell of both the top and bottom halves are covered with a layer of intumescent material.

The valve protecting device, enclosing the valve of the 30B cylinder, and connected to the bottom half of the DN30 PSP by two hinges, consists of a casing of stainless steel filled with PIR foam.
5.(a) Packaging (continued)
The two rotation protecting devices, welded at the sides of the inner flange of the bottom half of the PSP, are identical and consist of a pin, withdrawn into the flange during loading, and inserted, during transport, into the two holes in the skirt of the 30B cylinder.
The plug protecting device is welded to the inner shell of the bottom half of the PSP and allows the plug to move in the axial direction without making contact with any part of the PSP.
An elastomeric gasket, installed in the flange of the top half, prevents water inleakage during normal conditions of transport.
The PSP has a nominal length of 2,437 mm, a nominal external diameter of 1,216 mm, and a nominal height of 1,329 mm. The nominal gross weight of the package is 4,012 kg.
The 30B Cylinder, described in ANSI N14.1, is 2,070 mm long with a nominal diameter of 760 mm and a nominal wall thickness of 13 mm.
(3) Drawings
The Model No. DN30 packaging is fabricated in accordance with

(2) Maximum quantity of material per package
2,277 kg UF6 contained in an ANSI Standard N14.1 30B cylinder.
The maximum H/U atomic ratio for UF6 is 0.088.
