Receipt of Type B Packages
This is a delayed post on Bill Teer's request for info on transportation
requirements applicable to spent fuel casks. I suggest going to the source
on such matters - these are regulatory questions that are best answered by
the regulators. In this case, I would contact the NRC's Transportation
Branch in Washington, DC by phone (or email) and pose your questions
directly to them. You can reach them at (301) 415-8520.

Subject: SPAM-ORDB: Receipt of Type B Packages
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.
