DOCUMENTATION AND ANALYSIS FOR PACKAGING FOR SURFACE MOISTURE MEASUREMENT SYSTEM 7A CONTAINERS

1.0 INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this documentation and analysis for packaging (DAP) is to provide documentation demonstrating that two, procured, carbon steel 5-gal drums (UN/lAZ/Y36/S) meet all applicable U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT)-7A requirements. Corporation to transport two sources, one per container, to and from various 200 Area tank farms. One container will be used to transport a 0 009 Ci 252Cf source and the other to transport a 1.7 Ci 241Am-Be source. container incorporates a Site-fabricated adapter, which positions the source within the container cavity. Both sources will be transported onsite per the requirements of WHC-CM-2-14, Hazardous Material Packaging and Shipping, as separate items.

1.1 BACKGROUND

Radioactive wastes from defense operations have accumulated in underground waste storage tanks at the Hanford Site since the 1940s. Potential chemical fuels, in the form of ferrocyanide and various organic compounds, may be present in many of these tanks. Safety concernr have risen based on the possibility of condensed-phase chemical reactions propagating into undesirable consequences.

Analyses and experiments indicate that the reaction propagat ion, and possibly its initiation, may be precluded by the presence of a sueficient concentration of moisture in the waste. If sufficient moisture i,j present in a fuel-containing waste boundary between an initiated reaction anti a dry stoichiometric mixture of fuel and oxidizer, modeling predicts that the water will absorb the energy released from the reaction so that it will not propagate through the waste boundary. concentration in the top layers of waste would, under current safety guidelines, provide evidence that the tank waste is in a stable and safe form for continued storage.

Westinghouse Hanford Company (WHC), Science Applications International Corporation, ICF Kaiser Hanford Company, and HiLine Engineering and Fabrication, Inc., to determine the moisture concentration in the upper layers of the waste surface. The 252Cf source is lowered into the tank vapor space during this operation, and contamination o f t.he source is likely.

The existence of sufficient moisture

The Surface Moisture Measurement System (SMMS) was developed by

Moisture Measurement System (LOWMMS), which is controlled using the same data acquisition and control system as the SMMS. The LOWMMS moisture measurements of the waste surface immediately surrounding the LOWS will help confirm the surface moisture measurement obtained with the SMMS. The 24’Am-Be source is lowered into the LOW during this operation and will probably remaiin clean.

A decontamination spray system is provided for cleanup of the SMMS as it is withdrawn from the tank. The decontamination system consists of a decontamination spool piece (attached to the riser), a feed pump, and a water tank truck. The decontamination spool piece is an impact force cleaning chamber with four high-pressure spray nozzles.

2.0 PACKAGE DESCRIPTION

2 .1 PACKAGING

Both source containers are carbon steel UNlAZ drums, with open heads, which incorporate water-extended polyester (WEP) neutron shielding and a central cavity formed from steel pipe and pipe caps. The basic drums were fabricated by FBF Nuclear Containers, Inc., and tested to meet DOT-7A requirements per 49 CFR 178.350 and applicable sections of 49 CFR 173. interior cavities and WEP shielding were added to the basic drums by Frontier Technology Corporation, who is the actual supplier to WHC.

The container for the 252Cf source has a basic cavity based on 2-in. schedule 40 pipe. A Hanford Site-fabricated adapter, which positions the source for easy attachment of a source handling tool, is installed in the cavity. The adapter replaces the original pipe cap for the cavity. It also provides a collar to allow connection of a polyethylene sleeve during source transfer between the container and a glovebox during field operations. drawings in Appendix D. surrounding the pipe.

on pages 1-32 and 1-33 of HLH-32451 had no effect on th. acceptability o f a ateel drum package limited to use with Special Form encapsulated sources, such a6 the nodel 50240. HLM-3245 has been superseded t,y WHC-EP-OS56 (June 19921. which Incorporates the test rtaults reported in HLH-3245. adds several new packaglng configurations. and discusses the effect of regulatory changes arising from the adoption of Hn-161 on Dec. 21, 1990. The metal drums t e l t results contained in all three reports include 5-gallon drums per DOT Speclflcationa. 6C and 17c . In addition. HLH-2228 contains te6t results on DOT Specification. 17H 5-gallon steel drums with WEP filler.

The drums used as a component of Frontier's Model 50240 packages are certified by thelr supplier.* a6 "suitable as a component of a Type A package based on testa made by Honsanto Research Corporation. Hound Laboratory' as shown in report number HLH-3245. and reported in WHC-EP-0558. The supplier** of the druns has a quality assurance program approved by the NRC for actlvlties conducted under appllcable criteria of subpart H of IOCFR Part 71 to be executed with regard to transportation packages. Copies of the supplier certification and QA Program Approval document are a. part of Frontier's certification for the Hodel 50240.

The above documents are adequate to meet the requirements of 49CFR176.350. provided that requirements and restrictlons specified in HLH-3245 and HHC-EP-0558 are met and documented.

MLH-3245 limit the groso uelght of the 17C or equ1Valent drum to a maximum of 100 pcunds. Frontier's certification a160 imposes a 100 pound grosa weight limit. The actuai weight of a Model 50240 pac:kage as made and dellvered by Frontier Is 38-43 pounds.

shipment of radloactive material in the form of Special Form Sealed Sources, which requires that the radioactive aateribl be hermet1c:aliy sealed inside a non-reactive capsule. The non-rsdlorctlue contents conslst of WEP, steel or iron, plywood or "masonite' and PVC, all. of which are generally accepted as compatible with steel.

Hodel 50240 is stated as subject to prescribed limits of external. radiation. by which is meant the limits specified in 49CFR173.441. uhIch sets naxin~um limits at any point on the package and at sp.cIfied distances from the package. Radioactlve sources shipped In the Mode1 50240 are approximately centered withln the HEP shield radially and axially, as required by the basic drawing, A 5 0 2 4 0 - M O 0 . The shl~ildlnw IWEPI distance at the corners of the container is thereby about l.4 times that at a location radially outward from the source, or about 5 . 5 x 1.4 - 5.5 = 2.2" greater than the radial shielding thlckneiis. HLM-3245 reports that 4 foo t drop tests flat on the top and bottom of the 5-gallon drums were deemed unnecessary becauie of the "almoslt total lack of effect" of such drops on other similar drums tested lp. 13-20, Addendum I ) , and that 4-foot drop testa onto the bottom and top corners were performed and passed ( p .

are closely simulated by the test contentn. If they are not, testlna or analysis must be conducted and docurtented t o demonstrate DOT 7h compliance wlth actual contents."

This statement Is amplified in both reports by the additional statement.

"For heavy, bulky materials (8.q.. concrete chunks. mators, pumps, etc.), equipment or matcrinls wlth sharp corners cr protruslons. or materlal/contalnment geometries that could result in hlgh!y localized forces, the shipper must enours that the'contents are sacurely fastened/posItloned within the packago.'

The contents during the tefits are reported In both reports a 6 a quantity of sand ar.d lead (no speclfIed slze or geometry for the lead) of a quantlty sufflclent t o result in a gross contalner uelght as-tested in excess of 100 pounds.

Frontier determined that the actual contents of the Hodel 50240 packages as specified by drawlng number A50240-MOO are adequrtely functxonally simulated by the teat contents. as follows.

The second of the above-quoted statements le consfdared flrit: There are no heavy, bulky materials simliar to the examples

"The shipper must determine that the actual contents

given in the raporta, that Is, there are no rlgld items havlng gross densities approaching those of concrete or steel. or epproachlng that of the tent material (sand and lead).

There are no ltsms of equipment or materlals havlng sharp corners or sharp protrusions. protruslon" is the upper end of the center-plpe cap. whlch l a

consldered below. There are no Items of materlal/containment geometries that

could result I n highly localized forces. The only Item capable of resulting in localized forces a t all is the upper end of the center-pipe cap. which is considered below.

The contents of the standard Hodel 50240 are as shown on drawlng number A50240-AA00. The plywood or masonite rpacera have shapes and holes such that the WEP material will flow around the aides of the spacers and through holes in the spacers. then cure Into single 6o11d shleid.

Drops onto the container sides and flat onto the bottom would produce less damage to the drum shell than the Hound tests as reported in HLH-3245. because the shell is fully supported by an elastlc eolid In these orientations, and the weight of the standard Hodel 50240 i6 less than half that of the test drums.

The Hound te6ts reported In HLH-3245 rdported 'almost total lack of effect" for drops of 100 pound plus containers f l e t onto thelr top or bottom. For drops flat onto the top and with the test contents inside. the balk of the Impact would be agalnrt the interlor of the lid. then transmitted to the clamp ring via that vertical part of the lid between the more or less flat part and the gasket aeat. Thla portion has a diameter of approximately I 1 3/16", and a thickness of at least 0 . 0 2 0 9 " imin. for 24 gauge). Inltlal forces for a Hodel 50240 Container dropped flat onto its top wlll be transmitted through the contalner side shell wall (also 24 gauge. approx. 1 1 5/16 dia.) t o the gasket, to the lld gasket seat. and thence to the clamp ring, and will be less than one-half the magnitude of the forcer in the test units. Thus. no damage to the clamp rlng is sxpected. based on the cited test results. HLH-2228 reporta passage of the (-foot drop te6t by HEP filled DOT Specification 17H drums. The 17H drum6 tested were similar to the 17C drums and had the same body wall thickness ( 2 4 gauge). the dlfferences between the two drum typee being that the 17H head (lid) thickness is 20 gauge (0.0324' mlnlmum) whereas the 17C h6ad thicknesa Is 24 gauge, and that the 17H closure 16 by a lug type closure znd breeze clamp whereas the 17C closure is by a bolted 1 6 gauge clamp ring. The contents of the test drums were cast WEP containing a polyethylene source holder located In a drllled hoke In the HEP shield and held in p l a c a b y a lock bar screwed to the HEP: 1.e.. qulte slmilar to the Hodel 5 0 1 4 0 except for the center-pipe In the 50240. Authorlzed weight of the teet drums was 43 pounds, equal to the heaviest measured weight o f standard tiodel 50240 d r u m . Passage of the drop f l a t onto top of the 17H test drums as reported In HLM-2228 demonstrates that the unfilled space above the WEP levo1 does not result In damage to the drum body sufficient to causa fallure of the testi the demonstration applles to the Hodel 50240 because the drum body wall thickness and weight is the same as for the unlts tested. The Model 50240 has a center-plpe whlch protrudes above the HEP level and 1s closed by a standard plpe cap. clearance between the top of the cap and the inslde of the drum head (1ld)'Is approximately one Inch. If the WEP shleld/center-pipe assembly moves relative to the drum body during impact, or I f the drum body collapses, the upper end of the plpe cap could contact the inaide of the drum head st lts center. Tctal maximum force on the lid would be lese than half of the force on the lids of drums tested and reported in HLH-32li5 slnce the weight of contents of the 50240 is less than half that of the drums tested: this demonstrates that t,he Ild w l l l remain In place and sezled at the edges. The top of the standard 2' pfpe cap is a flat surface approxlmately 2.7 inches In dlameter with rounded edges of Approximately !/8-inch radii. contact region would bs a circle 2.7 - . 2 5 " = 2.45' in diameter.

A dent about 2.5 Inches In diameter In the center of the Ild rrey be produced. but no other damage is expected as the total forces on the lid are less than one-half those on the test unite.

Indicate the drums tested pass the 4-foot drop test onto tha top corner of the drums. The drums tested had 20 gauQe heads closed by segmented tab. bent around the curl on the drum bodies and secured from unbendlng by a llqht breeze clamp, whereas the Hodel 50240 has a 24 gauge head secured by an 18 Gauge bolt ring and quarter inch b o l t . Host ef thadrum head's resistance to bending and buckllng arises from the formed-ln gasket salt and the mechanism whlch clamps the head to the drum body. Whlle the drums tested have thicker heads than tha Model 50240 I 2 0 gauge vs. 24 gauge) the clamping mechanism of the test drums Is segmented 20 gauge tabs whereas the Model 50240 clamping mechanlsm 1s thicker 118 gauge) and continuous except for a short space 1 0 - 1 / 4 " 1 In the relnforced reglon of the clamp ring in the area of the quarter-Inch bolt. The Model 50240 conflguratlon has greater reslstance to lid bending/buckling than the WEP-filled test drums reported In MLH-2228, and therefor the reported tests demonstrate that damage at the corner of the Hodel 50240, I f i t occurs. will not cause failure of the test. The drop onto top corner teste reported in HLH-3245 for 100 pound 17C drums contalnlng sand and lead demonstrate that the Hodel 56240 Ild will remain In place and sealed I f the 4 3 pound maximum WEP ahIeld/center-plpe assembly impacts on the lnslde oi the lld, and tho slze and geometry of the pipe cap Is such that puncture or tearing of the head Is not expected. Thus It may be concluded that the contents of the Model 50240 contalners are sufficiently closely slmulated by the test contents of drums tested and reported by nound.
