This paper presents an overview of the procedures used at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) to review Safety Analysis Reports for Packagings (SARPs) submitted to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) for issuance of a Certificate of Compliance. Because the various elements of the SARP review must be synergetic for the safe operation and use of the packaging, the review must be a team effort, with all disciplines cooperating in all phases of the process. This paper emphasizes the structural and materials aspects of the review process, but the general approach presented is representative of all the disciplines involved. Some of the specific issues and problems encountered during typical reviews are discussed.
