This paper documents the results of 10CFR71 regulatory testing of prototypes of the new Type AF Package (Model 9979) developed for the DOE by the Savannah River Packaging Technology group of the Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL). A description of the testing and evaluation conducted by SRNL personnel will be presented. In January of 2004, the Department of Transportation (DOT) and Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) proposed the elimination of specification packaging from 49 CFR 173. In accordance with the Federal Register, issued on October 1, 2004, the NRC proposal was adopted and specification packages could no longer be fabricated. In accordance with the final rulemaking, specification packagings were mandated by law to be removed from service no later than October 1, 2008. Affected by this rulemaking are specification UN1A2 containers, per DOT 49 CFR 173.417(a)(6). To maintain continuing shipments of Department of Energy (DOE) materials currently shipped in UN1A2 specification containers, the DOE directed SRNL to commence design efforts for a new Type A Fissile material packaging design. This paper presents a summary of the testing of the new Type AF Model 9979 Package. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
