Safety analysis report for packaging. Oak Ridge Y-12 Plant Model DT-14A package for enriched uranium
An evaluation was made of the Oak Ridge Y-12 Plant Model DT-14A shipping container to demonstrate its compliance with federal regulations as a Type B(U) package for the interstate transportation of fissile radioactive materials. Destructive testing and engineering evaluations were made to demonstrate the structural integrity and thermal resistance of the package. Data from earlier evaluations are included herein. It is concluded that the package meets the requirements for Fissile Class I, II, and III shipments of uranium of any /sup 235/U enrichment. Depending on the type, form, and contained hydrogenous materials, limits are placed on the contained masses of /sup 235/U in each package. 12 references, 10 figures, 3 tables.
