2. 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 Transportation 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

a. ISSUED TO (Name and Address) b. TITLE AND IDENTIFICATION OF REPORT OR APPLICATION U. S. Department of Energy Core Independent M-140 Safety Analysis Report for Division of Naval Reactors Packaging, transmitted on February 27, 1991, as Washington, D.C. 20585 supplemented.

4. 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 No.: M-140 (2) Description The M-140 is a stainless steel package for transporting spent fuel. The package is a right-circular cylinder and is transported in the upright position. The package's approximate dimensions and weights are as follows:

Cavity diameter 70 inches Cavity height 146 inches Body outer diameter 98 inches Body steel wall thickness 14 inches Package overall outer diameter 126 inches Package overall height 194 inches Packaging weight, including standard internals 315,000 pounds Maximum package weight, including contents 375,000 pounds The package body is made from 304 stainless steel forgings. The package walls are 14 inches thick and the bottom plate is 12-inches thick. The package body flange provides

PACKAGE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER PAGE PAGES 9793 21 71-9793 USA/9793/B(U)F-85 2 OF 6 5.(a)(2) Description (continued) a seating surface for the closure head and its protective dome. The flange contains 36 wedge assemblies located radially around the inside diameter. Retention of the closure head is achieved by engaging the wedges in a tapered groove in the circumferential edge of the closure head. The package body has 180 external cooling fins welded to the exterior wall. A support ring is welded to the external cooling fins at a point above the center of gravity. The support ring is bolted to a specially designed well-type railcar. The package bottom is equipped with an energy absorber which is composed of five concentric stainless steel rings varying in thickness and height.

The closure head is made from forged 304 stainless steel and is approximately 13 inches thick and 81.7 inches in diameter. The closure head is equipped with an access port, which is approximately 24 inches in diameter, and is offset from the center of the closure head. The access port plug is a stepped design with a maximum diameter of approximately 31 inches and is attached to the closure head by 24 bolts. The closure head and access port are sealed with double ethylene propylene O-ring seals. Seal test ports are provided for the closure head and access port seals. A stainless steel protective dome is positioned over the closure head and is secured to the package body flange by 12, 1.38-inch diameter, 38.5-inch long studs installed in a vertical direction and six, 2.5-inch diameter, 9-inch long shear bolts installed in the radial direction.

The containment system is composed of the package body, the closure head, and the closure head access port plug. There are seven penetrations in the standard containment system: 1) a closure head, 2) a drain port, 3) a vent port, 4) an access port in the closure head, 5) a thermocouple penetration, 6) a water inlet penetration, and 7) a water outlet penetration in the package body. Each penetration is sealed with a plug and a double ethylene propylene O-ring seal and is equipped with a leak test port. For some shipping configurations, two additional penetrations may be present in the closure head:

1) a removable fuel assembly (RFA) access port and 2) another vent penetration.

The spent fuel modules are positioned in an internals assembly. The internals assembly is composed of stacked internal spacer plates, which have openings for the spent fuel modules. The internals assembly has a top plate or top plate subassembly, which is preloaded by springs against a retaining ring fitted in a groove in the package cavity wall.

The internals assembly may be a standard, Type 1, Type 2, or Type 3 internals assembly.

(3) Drawings The packaging is constructed and assembled in accordance with the Westinghouse Electric Corporation Drawings in Appendix 1.3.2 of the application. Internals assemblies and fuel modules are constructed and assembled in accordance with drawings in Chapter 1 of the applicable Safety Analysis Reports for Packaging.
