Safety Analysis Report for Packaging (Onsite) for the Pipe Overpack Container
- Fluor Hanford, Richland, WA (United States)
- Waste Management Federal Services, WA (United States)
The pipe overpack container (POC) was designed for shipment in the TRUPACT-11. The TRUPACT- II provides the POC impact and thermal protection. Use of the TRUPACT- II onsite is not practical. Therefore, a POC Overpack was designed for onsite use. The POC Overpack was designed to result in a package that provides protection equivalent to that provided by following the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) requirements when making offsite shipments. This Safety Analysis Report for Packaging (SARP) demonstrates that the POC Overpack provides the equivalent level of protection for Hanford Site conditions. The POC Overpack system is used to transport plutonium-laden ash and incinerated materials. Ash is a mixture of coarse, granular, fine, and very fine particulate materials from the incinerator furnaces. The ash is not homogeneous and may contain bits of tramp metal (i.e., iron nuts and bolts), unburned feed materials, and carbon from the incomplete oxidation of some feed materials.
