Approval Record Combustible Gas Mixtures
.Concitions were-imposed on packages containing water and/or organic subs':ances to limit the accumulation of radiolytically generated gases _
ove> the shipping period to preclude the possibility of significantly recucinythe packaging effectiveness due to explosion.: . Part of the conditions included "...it must be detemined 'by tests and measurements of ~ a~ representative package whether or not...." There is no reason to believe that calculational methods could not be used as means of determining gas generation. -So as not to preclude a valid analysis, part of the condition to limit the accumulation of
-radiolytically generated gases is revised to read "...it must be detemined by tests and measurements or by analysis of a representative package <
whether or not. . . ." ~
~
The analytic approach involves detemining the hydrogen generatad in the waste by radiolysis based on the absorbed dose of the waste over a given period of. time. To' satisfy the condition to preclude a conbustible mixture, the period since closure and twice the shipping time must be considered. The calculation requires that the properties of the waste' are known. These properties may be determined from test and measurement - of representative waste fonns or from data that-is applicable to the waste fonn. The determination should be documented and retained as part of the records for the shipment. W- E. MacDonald, Charles'k f& Chief Transportation Certification Branch Division of Fuel Cycle and ~~
