June 8, 1999 Eco-Pak Specialty Packaging I 07 Meadowview Farms Drive Jonesborough, TN 37659 Attention: Ms. Heather Little
Subject:
Center or Gravity of Eco-Pak Liqui-Rad-250 Law Engineering and Environmental Services Project 10810-9-7003, Phase 10
Dear Ms. Little:
Per your request and as authorized by signing our annual proposal acceptance sheet, Law Engineering and Environmental Services (LEES) has completed engineering analysis of the "ECO-PAK LIQUl-RAD-250" shipping container box. The purpose of this analysis was to find the center of gravity of the container and to calculate the container position angles with respect to the drop test configurations in accordance with Title CFR Part 71. 73 (Hypothetical Accident Conditions) provided to us by Eco-Pak.
Two drawings are attached with this letter as described below:
SHEET 1 of 2: POSITION OF THE CONTAJNER BOX WHEN TOP EDGE 41 A-N' IS ALIGNED WITH THE CENTER OF GRAVITY.
Top edge "A-A" is shown in the drawing.
SHEET 2 OF 2: POSITION OF THE CONTAJNER BOX WHEN A CORNER "N' IS ALIGNED WITH THE CENTER OF GRAVITY.
Corner "A" is shown in the drawing.
The container volume is approximately 270 gallons and the container is designed for a liquid volume of 250 gallons. Therefore, the container is approximately 93% full at its rated load.
Please note that we calculated the center of gravity (C.G.) considering the container was at l 00%
of its rated load and standing on its legs. Because the container is almost full at its rated load, we assumed the container C.G. location would not change when the container rotated to the desired positions for the drop test.

Eco-Pak Specialty Packaging LEES Projec/ 10810-9-7003, Ph(Jse 10 6-8-99 P(Jge 2 Our calculations indicate that the C.G. of the container is at 36.59 inches from the base of the legs of the container. Further more, an angle of 52.44° with the horizontal would align the top edge "A-A" with the C.G. and an angle of 42.60° with the horizontal would align the corner" A" with the C.G.

Dear Mr. Arnold:
This letter is written in response to your request for Law Engineering & Envirorunental Services (LEES) to provide our opinion regarding chemical. galvanic or other corrosive reactions among or between several components. Specifically. the components are:
- l. Stainless Steel and Sherwin Williams Epoxy Primer
- 2. Stainless Steel and Duraboard
- 3. Stainless Steel and Fiberfrax Fiber Paper
- 4. Carbon Steel and Sherwin Williams Epoxy Primer
- 5. Carbon Steel and Duraboard
- 6. Carbon Steel and Fiberfrax Fiber Paper LEES completed accelerated corrosion testing of carbon steel and stainless steel samples in various configurations. Humid atmosphere primer adhesion and ferric chloride corrosion tests were performed at an elevated temperature. Please refer to our reports dated August 18, 1999, August 26, 1999 and September 2, 1999 (LEES Project 10810-9-7003, Phase 03) for detailed test results. We were provided with a copy of the Product Data Sheet and Material Safety Data Sheet for Epoxy Primer manufactured by Sherwin Williams Company.

The Columbiana Boiler Company Columbiana. Ohio LEES Project 10810-9-70n3 Phase 17 January 18. wnn Based on the results of the laboratory accelerated corrosion testing and review of the product sheet and MSDS for the primer, it is our opinion that no significant effects due to chemical, galvanic or other corrosion reactions among or between the duraboard, fiber paper and primer applied to the metal should occur. Our test results indicated that adhesion of the primer to the metal was important from a corrosion standpoint. In cases where the primer adhered to the metal, corrosion was greatly reduced.
We appreciate the opportunity to provide our services on this project. Please contact us if you have nay questions or need additional information.

Dear Mr. Dougherty:
This letter and attachments are provided in accordance with your request to address the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC' s) request for additional infonnation (RAD concerning the pool fire exposure conditions during the above-reference test program.
As you know, 10 CFR Part 71.73, Section (4) Thermal states:
"Exposure of the specimen, fully engulfed, exc~pt for a simple support system, in a hydrocarbon fuel/air fire of sufficient extent, and in sufficiently quiescent ambient conditions, to provide an average emissivity coefficient of at least 0.9, with an average flame temperature of at least 800°C (1475°F) for a period of 30 minutes, or any other thermal test that provides the equivalent total heat input to the package and which provides a time averaged environmental temperature of 800°C. The fuel source must extend horizontally at least 1 m (40 in.), but may not extend more than 3 m (10 ft),
beyond any external surface of the specimen, aud the specimen must be positioned 1 m (40 in.) above the smface of the fuel source. For purposes of calculation, the smface absorptivity coefficient must be either that value which the package may be expected to possess if exposed to the fire specified or 0.8, whichever is greater; and the convective coefficient must be that value which may be demonstrated to exist if the package were exposed to the fire specified. Artificial cooling may not be applied after cessation of external heat input, and any combustion of materials construction, must be allowed to proceed until it tem1inates naturally."
The pool fire exposure test conducted September 22, 1999, on the Eco-Pak Liqui-Rad 250 shipping container met the intent of the hypothetical fire exposure conditions specified in 10 CFR 71.73.
This report is for Iha lnfo1TT1aUon of the clienl. It rnay be used in ils entirety for lhe purpose of securing product acceptance from duly constituted approval authorities. This report shall not be reproduced except in full, v.ithout tha written approval of SwRI. Netther !his ceport nor Iha name of the Institute shall be used in publicity or advertising.

Columbiana Boiler Company SwRI Project No. 01.02759 August 21, 2001 Page 2 The Eco-Pak Liqui-Rad 250 shipping container was exposed to a diesel fuel pool fire which reached temperatures in excess of2000°F with a maximum temperature over 2400°F (see Figure 1). Figure 2 presents the average flame temperature for the four flame thermocouples (TC's) located on the north, south, east and west side of the shipping container. The integrated area beneath the time temperature curve for the period of2 to 32 min yields an average flame temperature of approximately l 400°F. Calculation of the weighted average flame temperature yields 1500°F. Omitting the East TC, which was affected by wind conditions, yields an average flame temperature of 1533°F for the 30-min period.
The wind direction and velocity plots are shown in Figures 3 and 4. These plots show the trend that increased wind velocity from the East caused flame displacement from the East TC and reduced temperature readings. Note that the size of the pool fire and the position of the test aiticle are fixed by the test procedure.
Increasing the size of the pool fire would reduce the effect of wind on the flame temperature. It is impo11ant to note that 10 CFR 71.73 does not specify where the flame temperatures should be measured. Relocating the flame TC's as little as 6 in. lower into the flame plume would minimize the effect of wind on the flame temperature measurements aud yield much higher average flame temperature readings. Note that it would still be the same fire exposure but you would have higher temperature readings.
I hope this infomiation is sufficient for your immediate needs. If I may be of fmther assistance, please contact me at (21~~).~)~ fax (210) 522-3377, or e-mail at JGriffith@swri.org.

File From: Tom Dougherty, Chairman RE:
Explanatory Representation as to the average flame temperature of the fire test performed at Southwest Research Institute THERMAL EVALUATION The LR experienced two separate fire events, as set forth in 10 CFR 71.73, on two separate days, without any repairs or modifications. The first fire event generated an average flame temperature, as measured by all the thermocouples of 1315 degrees F. This condition was caused by intermittent winds as described in the Safety Analysis Report.
The second fire event generated an average flame temperature, as measured by all the thermocouples of 1375 degrees F. This condition was caused by intermittent winds as described in the Safety Analysis report.
In the first fire event TC South, TC West averaged above 1475 degree F. TC East and North averaged below 1475 degrees F, while experiencing periods that exceeded 1475 degrees F.
In the 3econd fire event TC No11h averaged significant above 1475 degrees F. TC West averaged significantly above 1475 degrees F. TC South averaged below 1475 degrees F while generating significant periods in excess of 1475 degrees F.
It is the opinion of the applicant that all periods of low temperatures were cause by intermittent wind conditions. Further the LR package experienced more than 60 minutes of fire events (2 x the required). The LR package accumulated four thermocouples that accumulated an average temperature of 1532 degrees F over two fire events, therefore meeting the average flame temperature requirements stated in 10CFR 71.73 9c) (4). See Test 1-TC-l plus Test Two TC-1, TC-3, TC-4.

I ABSTRACT This report describes the methods and guidelines Southwest Research Institute ( SwRI) followed for the preparation, instrumentation, and conditioning of test specimens; performance of drop tests, leakage tests, and fire endurance tests; reporting oftest results; and all applicable documentation of these tasks in accordance with the requirements specified in SwRI Proposal No. 01-23375 and Columbiana Boiler Company (CBC), Eco-Pak Specialty Packaging (ESP) Division, Purchase Order No. 6250. This report includes the program objective, quality assurance requirements, test personnel qualifications, test facilities and instrumentation calibration. test procedure, test item description, test results, and applicable documentation.
The objective of this program was to conduct physical and fire performance evaluation tests of ESP's Uranyl Nitrate Liquids shipping package in accordance with the hypothetical accident conditions specified in Title l 0 CFR Part 71. 73 to verify the perfonnance under the specified conditions. The test item, identified as the Eco-Pak Liqui-Rad-250, was subjected first to the physical tests simulating hypothetical accident conditions for free drop and puncture described in Title I 0 CFR 71.73 ( c ), (I) and (3). Following the drop tests, the Eco-Pak Liqui-Rad-250 shipping package was subjected to the thennal effects of the fully engulfing hydrocarbon pool fire exposure described in Title 10 CFR 71.73 (c), (4). Following each test, the physical condition of the Eco-Pak Liqui-Rad-250 shipping package was inspected and the results were recorded. The following table summarizes the results for the pre-drop/post-fire helium leak tests.

The Department of Fire Technology conducted the 30-min pool fire test described in Title IO CFR 71.73 (c), (4) on September 22, 1999. The average flame temperature during the' 30-min plus pool fire exposure was l 375°F. The average initial temperature of the thermocouple fitted to the inside container was 91 °F with a maximum temperature of 108°F. The temperature recorded on the outer surface of the inside container after the 30-min pool fire exposure test ranged from 176 to 1145 °F. The elevated temperature reading is most likely caused by heat being conducted through the thermocouple (TC) and the TC became separated from the surface of the container.
After a 30-min cool down period, the maximum single point temperature recorded was 610°F, and the average of the sample TC readings was 297°F. Following a 60-min cool down period. the maximum single point temperature recorded was 234°F, and the average sample TC's was 148°F.
Following completion of the post-fire helium leakage tests, the test item was inspected and found to be undamaged and in good condition with no loss of contents.

(drop) testing was perfonned by the Structural Dynamics and Environmental Testing Group in the Mechanical and Fluids Engineering Division. The leakage tests were performed by the Test and Fabrication Section of the Materials and Structures Division. SwRl's Quality Assurance Department provided independent surveillance, quality checks, and inspections during the course of this program, as required. The following sections provide further information for each of the supporting technical divisions.
4.0 QUALITY ASSURANCE REQUIREMENTS All test activities for ESP were monitored and controlled under SwRI's Nuclear Quality Assurance Program Manual (NQAPM) and/or the Department of Fire Technology Quality Assurance Manual (DFTQAM). The NQAPM and DFTQAM meet the requirements of Title l 0 CFR 50, Appendix B, and meet or exceed the requirements of Title 10 CFR 71, Subpart H. SwRI prepared a Project Quality Plan (PQP) Document No. NPQP-98-01-1680, which identified the specific sections of the NQAPM or DFTQAM which apply, and addressed specific requirements identified in the contract.
SwRI Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) personnel provided independent surveillance, quality checks, and inspections during the course of this program.
5.0 TEST ITEM IDENTIFICATION Eco-Pak Specialty Packaging, Division of Columbiana Boiler Company, was responsible for the design, fabrication, and delivery of the Eco-Pak Liqui-Rad-250 shipping package, which consisted of the inner liquid container and protective overpack. SwRI performed the initial test item preparation including filling the container with a liquid salt solution and clean steel shot and recording preliminary measurements.
The Eco-Pak Liqui-Rad-250 shipping container was constructed in accordance with the detail drawings provided by ESP. Photographic documentation prior to the drop tests and following the drop and fire tests appear in Appendix A, Construction Details and Dimensional Measurements.
6.0 TEST FACILITIES 6.1 Leakage Testing Facilities The leakage testing phase of this program utilized various equipment. instrumentation, and dedicated facilities to perform helium leak tests.
Columbtana Boiler Company Eco-Pak Specialty Pnckag1ng DI\\ 1s1on 2
SwRl Project No. 01-02759
The helium leakage tests were performed,\\1ith the Department's VEECO MS-40 portable automatic leak detector manufactured by VEECO Instruments, Inc. The MS-40 is a fully automatic. dual mode, turbo molecular pumped portable leak detector. The sensitivity of the iv!S-40 is 4 x 10-11 std cc/sec air equivalent and leak rate to 4 x I 0-11 std cc/sec air equivalent with external pump.
6.2 Drop Testing Facilities 6.2.1 Environmental Conditioning Low temperature conditioning of the test item before drop testing was done in a chamber built specifically for this project. The schematic diagram of the facility, is shown in Figure 3. The facility was constructed in close proximity to the drop test site to minimize time between removal of the test item from conditioning and drop testing. The test chamber was a plywood box with rigid foam insulation. A removable top was provided for insertion and removal of the test item. A single insulated door was provided for access to the test item. Cooling to the facility was supplied by liquid nitrogen.
Thermal monitoring was routed from the chamber to an adjacent building for acquisition and control of the flow of liquid nitrogen. A Watlow controller, referenced to a thermocouple (TC) measuring air temperature in the chamber, controlled the supply of liquid nitrogen. Additional thermocouples were used to monitor the air temperature in the chamber and test item temperatures during conditioning. These data were processed u:;ing a Fluke Hydra data logger attached to a computer for data storage. For reporting purposes, data files were reduced following the testing.
6.2.2 Wind Instrumentation Wind speed was measured using a hand held anemometer supplied and monitored by Fire Technology personnel.
6.2.3 Test Pad The drop pad was specifically designed for this type of testing. The test facility consists of a 10 x 10 x 6-ft reinforced concrete slab embedded in the ground. A 1-in. thick steel plate, attached to the slab using J-bolts, covers the upper surface of the concrete slab. The entire facility weight is estimated to be 95,000 lb. This does not include any effective mass of the surrounding soil, which is very compact.

SwRI Project No. 01-02759
A plywood photographic backdrop was constructed for this project. Each side of this structure was 12 ft high and 16 ft wide. The backdrop was painted and had a grid of black lines on !-ft centers covering the surface. The horizontal lines were parallel to the drop pad. For the puncture testing, a puncture bar was attached using 8 bolts to the center of the drop pad. The puncture bar was fabricated out of a 6-in. diameter solid steel section welded to a 2-in. thick steel plate. The 6-in. diameter section was recessed into the plate to ensure adequate strength. The distance from the top of the steel plate to the top of the puncture bar was l 6 in. There was no significant damage to the puncture bar as a result of the testing. There was no indication of motion of the puncture bar during any testing.
A crane was used to handle the test items for the drop testing. The crane was situated so that it could pull the item out of the conditioning box and handle it for the drops. SwRI personnel provided the crane operator instructions on how to position the test item for drops. During all testing, there was no tendency of the test item to move before the drop, as a result of crane operations or wind conditions.
The orientation of the test item was controlled by the use of wire rope slings, specifically designed for this test. Adjustments of the orientation were made using turnbuckles attached at the required locations. The orientation of the test item was verified using the Smartlevel digital instrument.
The drop height was measured using two calibrated plumb bobs. The length of the plumb bobs was adjusted using a calibrated tape measure. The plumb bobs were attached to the test item at the impact point. The crane was used to raise the item to the required height. The impact point and location of the bob was adjusted as required prior to removal of the plumb bob from the test item.
For drops, the test item was released usfng a quick release mechanism. Under normal conditions, the jaws of the release hold a D-ring pin in place. The D-ring is attached to the wire rope sling supporting the test item. For release, pneumatic pressure is supplied to release the Jocking pin and allow the jaws to open.
6.3 Fire Testing Facilities The Department of Fire Technology has more than 30,000 sq ft of laboratory space housing advanced fire science analysis equipment and state-of-the-art full-scale furnaces used to evaluate the fire endurance and fire resistance of full-scale construction elements and assemblies. SwRI's large-scale horizontal furnace shown in Figure 4 was available to condition the test item at elevated temperature prior to conducting the pool fire test.

I 8.0 TEST PROCEDURE 8.1 Initial/Final Inspection and Preparation of Test Item SwRI performed initial inspection to verify the pretest condition of the Eco-Pak Liqui-Rad-250 shipping package and photographs were taken as necessary. ESP provided the test article and SwRI filled the container with a salt solution and lead shot to simulate a full payload. SwRI conducted an initial leakage test to confirm that the container was airtight. See Appendix A for construction details and drawings of the Eco-Pak Liqui~Rad-250 shipping package.
SwRI installed temperature measuring devices as necessary to monitor the temperature of the test article during the fire test. The temperature measuring devices were selected to ensure that the required information could be obtained without adversely affecting the performance of the system. This includes both the temperature time histories and the peak temperature readings. Slight modification of the container (shown in Figure 6) was required to attach the temperature measuring devices. See Figure 7 for TC and thermal tape locations for the containers.
Helium leakage tests were performed following the initial inspection and test article preparation and at completion of the pool fire test to ensure that the internal container remained air tight.
8.2 Leakage Tests Leakage tests were performed on the internal container prior to conducting the drop tests and following the pool fire exposure test. The helium leak tests were performed by evacuating the area between the a-ring seals for the blind flanges labeled Detail "A" and Detail "B" of ESP Drawing No.
111898/250. The pressure was reduced to the required level, helium was introduced in the region surrounding the 0 -ring seals, and the leak rate was measured with a helium leak detector and recorded.
8.3 Drop Testing The initial physical tests of the Eco-Pak Liqui-Rad-250 shipping package were a series of drop tests as described in Title I 0 CFR 71. 73 ( c ), ( l) & (3 ).
A crane was utilized to raise the test items to the proper height. The test item was supported by a wire rope sling designed to ensure that the test item would fall in the proper orientation.

SwRI Project No. 01-02759
I An air-actuated, quick-release mechanism was used, and no guidance of the test item was provided during the drop. Prior to each drop test, the average wind speed. direction. and air temperature were measured to determine if they were within acceptable limits.
There were three drops of the Eco-Pak Liqui-Rad-250 shipping package in the drop testing phase. The first drop test performed was a 30-ft drop onto the flat surface of the pad with the test item in a vertical, inverted position. The second drop was a 30-ft drop onto a comer of the specimen with the test item inverted. The final drop test was a 40-in. drop onto a puncture bar attached to the center of the steel plate on the drop pad. The puncture bar was constructed of a 6-in. diameter mild steel bar welded into a 2-in. thick steel plate. This plate was, in tum, bolted to the steel plate on top of the drop surface.
Following all drops, the damage to the Eco-Pak Liqui-Rad-250 shipping package was observed and recorded.
Data recorded for each drop test included; normal speed video, color photographs, and measurements of deformations and atmospheric conditions. A backdrop with horizontal and vertical lines spaced at 1-ft increments was provided for reference during the drop event. No acceleration time histories were obtained during the drop. Following the drop test, the test items were inspected, and the damage to the overpack was noted. Photo/video documentation was taken, after which the test items were submitted for fire exposure tests.
8.4 Fire Performance Evaluation Following the drop tests, the test items were to be transported to SwRl's Department of Fire Technology for elevated temperature thermal conditioning prior to performing the pool fire test at SwRl's remote test facility. Since the temperature of the test item was approximately 90°F, the elevated temperature thermal soak requirement was waived; and the test article was transported to the remote test site, positioned on the test fixture. and exposed to the specified pool fire conditions for a minimum 30-min period.
Documentation consisted of normal speed video and still photography at a minimum of two locations. The pool fire dimensions were 25 x 25 ft. Fuel was pumped into the pool fire pan during the test at a rate appropriate to maintain a fully engulfed pool fire for 30 min.

Foil owing extinguishment, temperature data was recorded during the cool down period. During cool down, the test article was protected from precipitation and wind effects to eliminate enhanced cooling of the test article. The test article was then transported to SwRI for further analysis and the post-fire leakage test.
9.0 TEST RESULTS 9.1 Leakage Test Results Initial helium leakage tests were perfonned on the test article prior to conducting the drop tests and following completion of the pool fire exposure test. The acceptance criteria specified that any leakage greater than 1.0 x l 0*7 std cc/sec of air is considered unacceptable.
The pre-drop helium leakage test was performed on September 14, 1999. A vacuum pump was used to evacuate the containers to the required pressure of less than l x 10*3 atm (I x 10*3 atm =.0147 psi
=.761 Torr). The background helium leakage rate was measured, and helium was introduced in the region surrounding the 0-ring seals. The leakage rate was measured after 10 min with the helium leak detector, and the results were recorded.
Following completion of the pool fire exposure tests on September 22, 1999, the final post-fire helium leakage tests were performed. A vacuum pump was used to evacuate the containers to the required pressure, and the background helium leakage rate was measured. Helium was introduced in the region surrounding the 0-ring seals, and the leakage rate was measured after 10 min with the helium leak detector.
Following completion of the post-fire helium leakage tests, all containers were inspected and found to be undamaged and in good condition with no loss of contents. Table 2 summarizes results for the pre-drop/post-fire helium leak tests. Data log sheets for all leakage tests are found in Appendix C.
9.2 Drop Testing The testing outlined in this section was designed to demonstrate the performance of the shipping configurations under hypothetical accident conditions.

Test facilities utilized for performance of the work under this project were adequate to accomplish the objectives of the project.
9.2.1 Assumptions A basic assumption made for this testing was that the drops made are the worst case condition as required by 10 CFR Part 71. ESP defined these configurations.
Columbiana l3oilcr Company Eco-Pak Specially Packagrng Division 9
SwRJ Project No. 01-02759
9.2.2 Environmental Conditioning The low temperature conditioning was done in a chamber to achieve the required test item temperature, -20 °F, on the insulation. To measure the surface temperatures, four TC's were placed on the surface of the test item and monitored during the low temperature conditioning. The target air temperature was -40°F, the minimum transportation temperature specified by ESP. In some cases, the air temperature was set lower than this to accelerate the cooling. Because of the thermal mass and insulation of the test item, its response to changes in the air temperature was rapid.
Conditioning was performed until the test item had reached the required temperature.
During the testing process (removal from the conditioning chamber, drop angle adjustments, drops, and physical inspection), the test item temperature rose. This low-temperature conditioning met the intent of the low-temperature requirements of 10 CFR Part 71.
Plots of the chamber air temperature and test item temperatures are included in this report as Figure 8. Low-temperature conditioning of the Eco-Pak Liqui-Rad-250 test item started on September 15, 1999, at 4:00 p.m. The chamber air temperature was set to a nominal -40°F.
On September 16, 1999, at 3:21 p.m., Eco-Pak Liqui-Rad-250 was removed from the chamber, and the assigned drop tests were performed. At the time of removal from the conditioning chamber, the insulation had a temperature of less than -33 °F.
9.2.3 Drop Testing Drop testing was performed with the cooled and undamaged Eco-Pak Liqui-Rad-250 test item.
After low-temperature conditioning, the test item was removed from the chamber.
Immediately before opening the chamber, the test item temperature was less than -33 °F (see Figure A-I in Appendix A). The test item was raised to the required drop height with the crane. The drop height was determined using the calibrated plumb bob attached to the first impact point on the test item. The release of the test item was by a pneumatically actuated quick-release mechanism. No guidance of the test item was provided during the drop. Drop testing was performed under conditions that did not affect the results of the test. The average wind speed was noted, and found to be sufficiently low, so that the packaging did not rotate during testing.

I Three tests were performed on Eco-Pak Liqui-Rad-250 shipping package. The first was a 30-ft drop onto the flat surface of the pad with the test item in a vertical inverted orientation. The damage to the test item was measured and recorded following this testing. The second drop was a 30-ft drop onto one comer of the test item in an inverted orientation. The damage to the exterior was again measured and recorded following this testing. The last test was a 40-in. drop onto a puncture bar.
Following each of these tests, the damage to the test item was measured and recorded. The construction details and dimensions measurements appear in appendix D.
Table 3 and the explanations that follow summarize the testing performed on this test item. All testing was completed successfully, and all phases of this testing were witnessed by SwRI QNQC and ESP personnel.

< 3.7 mph The test item was released cleanly and the drop was made with the impact in the proper location. The test item fell on its side after impacting the drop pad. As a result of the impact, the exterior of the test item, including the angle iron framing, was deformed further, as shown in Figures A-7 through A-10. Deformation of the unit was measured and recorded by Fire Technology personnel and reported in Appendix C. Video was taken of the drop event and color photographs showing the extent of damage were taken and are included with this report. SwRI QA/QC and ESP personnel witnessed all phases of the drop test.
Figure A-11 shows Test 3 (puncture test, side orientation). Pre-test conditions were:
Drop Angle Drop Height Wind Speed 1.5 degrees (longitudinal axis from horizontal) 40 in. to impact face
< 1.5 mph The test item was released cleanly and impacted the drop pad in the proper location and orientation. The test item remained on its side after impacting the cylindrical puncture bar (see Figures A-12 and A-13). Deformation data of the exterior was measured and recorded by Fire Technology personnel and reported in Appendix C. Video was taken of the drop event and color photographs showing the extent of damage were taken and are included with this report. SwRI QA/QC and ESP personnel witnessed all phases of the drop test.
9.3 Fire Performance Evaluation Test Figure A-14 shows the placement of thermal indicator tapes within the lid opening and Figure A-15 shows the thermocouples penetrating the outer shell. The Eco-Pak Liqui-Rad-250 package was transported to the remote test site in D'Hanis and the pool fire test described in Title I 0 CFR 71. 73 (c),
(4) was performed on September 22, 1999. Messrs. Mike Arnold and Rick McVey representing ESP were present to witness the test. Following initial startup procedures and transfer of 2000 gal of diesel fuel to the bum pan, the data acquisition equipment was verified and the fuel was ignited to begin the 30-min pool fire test. Table 4 lists the significant observations during the pool fire exposure and post-test cool down period.
Columbiana Boiler Company Eco-Pak Specialty P~ckaging Division 12 SwRJ Project r\\o 01-02759
I Following extinguishment, temperature data were recorded during the cool down period. During the cool down, the test article was protected from precipitation and wind effects to eliminate enhanced cooling of the test article.
Time-temperature profiles and test condition graphs taken before and during the pool fire exposure and cool down period are shown in Figures 9 through 12. The average flame temperature recorded by the TC's used to measure the pool fire was 13 l 5°F. This is partly attributed to the wind speed increasing after the test was started. During the test, the average wind speed was 5.9 mph.

SUMMARY
OF TEST RESULTS The objective of this program was to conduct physical and fire performance evaluation tests of ESP's Uranyl Nitrate Liquids shipping package in accordance with the hypothetical accident conditions specified in Title 10 CFR Part 71. 73 to verify the performance under the specified conditions. The test item, identified as the Eco-Pak Liqui-Rad-250, was subjected first to the physical tests simulating hypothetical accident condition*s for free drop and puncture described in Title 10 CFR 71. 73 ( c ), ( l) and (3). Following the drop tests, the Eco-Pak Liqui-Rad-250 shipping package was subjected to the thermal effects of the fully engulfing hydrocarbon pool fire exposure described in Title 10 CFR 71. 73 (c), (4). Following each test, the physical condition of the Eco-Pak Liqui-Rad-250 shipping package was inspected and the results were recorded. TI1e following table summarizes the results for the pre-drop/post-fire helium leak tests.

The Department of Fire Technology conducted the 30-min pool fire test described in Title 10 CFR 71.73 (c), (4) on September 22, 1999. The average flame temperature during the 30-min plus pool fire exposure was 1375°F. The average initial temperature of the thermocouple fitted to the inside container was 91°F with a maximum temperature of 108°F. The temperature recorded on the outer surface of the inside container after the 30-min pool fire exposure test ranged from 176 to 1145 °F. The elevated temperature reading is most likely caused by heat being conducted through the thermocouple (TC) and the TC became separated from the surface of the container.
After a 30-min cool down period, the maximum single point temperature recorded was 6I0°F, and the average of the sample TC readings was 297°F. Following a 60-min cool down period, the maximum single point temperature recorded was 234°F, and the average sample TC's was 148°F.
Following completion of the post-fire helium leakage tests, the test item was inspected and found to be undamaged and in good condition with no loss of contents.
