This supplement details design changes made to the ''Paducah Tiger'' since the issue date of the SAR, June 16, 1976. A /sup 3///sub 8/-inch thick, 304L stainless steel plate has been added on the valve end of existing and future overpacks to provide increased puncture resistance and the overpack cavity has been modified to preclude incorrect loading of the type 48X cylinder. Temperature profiles of the ''Paducah Tiger'' during the 30-minute fire test are included.
