Receipt of Type B Packages

[Bill.Teer@rw.doe.gov]

Does anyone have experience in the receipt of Type B packages - preferably

spent fuel casks?

I am particularly interested in the procedures for surveying and swiping

the package within the three hour

time limit.  Is it necessary to swipe the entire surface of the package,

or, in the case of a spent fuel cask,

do the impact limiters have to be removed during the three hour period?

How rigid is the NRC about the

three hours?  If the surveys are started within three hours, but not

completed, is that acceptable?



Our concern arises because of the possibility of receiving multiple casks

(up to five) at one time on a

dedicated train at the Yucca Mountain Repository.



Any comments will be appreciated.
