the justification for SNAP fuel content in 9975 packaging (1), it is expected that the fuel will be
dry. The only possible moisture in the fuel containing convenience can will be that from the
moisture level in the environment of the loading area at LANL. Other degradation scenarios are
not expected. Integrity of the PCV is maintained even if the convenience can is compromised.
Even if there were a breach in the fuel cladding, there would be no effect on safety performance
of the PCV. Current SNAP fuel rod dimensions should be confirmed or fit tested in the
convenience can. Materials Science & Technology concludes that there are sufficient data to
establish the technical basis for safe shipping of SNAP fuel rods at the referenced conditions in
the Model 9975 Shipping Package for up to a one year shipping period.
