Abstract:
Department of Energy (DOE) AL Weapons Surety Division (WSD) requires the SR-101 Inert Reservoir Package to

meet applicable hazardous material transportation requirements. This Safety Analysis Report (SAR) is based on

requirements in place at the time of packaging development (ea. 1992). Both DOE Order 5610.1, Packaging and

Transporting of Nuclear Explosives, Nuclear Components, and Special Assemblies, and AL Supplemental Direetive

5610.1, Rev. 1, Pacbging and Transportation of Components and Special Assemblies Associated with the Nuclear

Weapons Program, Chapter III, provide the requirement to prepare a safety ardysis report. DOE Order 5610.1 I

requires that “nuclear explosives, nuclear components, and speeial assemblies must be packaged and transported to

providea levelof safetyat leastcomparableto that providedby the packagingand shipment,in accordancewith

applicable regulations, of other radioactive and explosive material”. AL Supplemental Directive 5610.1, Rev. 1,

restates this requirement for nuclear components and speeial assemblies. Specifically, the supplemental direetive

states these items will be shipped in packages that shall achieve a similar or higher level of protection compared to

that provided by federally specified transportation requirements for other hazardous, radioactive, and explosive

materials.

The reservoirs do not meet ail the requirements for shipment as a DOT Specification package. To demonstrate

compliance with the requirements set forth in DOE Order 5610.1, the format and content for a DOE alternative per

DOE Order 1540.2, Chapter IV, is followed. The SAR provides the basis for the determination that the SR-101 Inert

Reservoir Package provides a level of safety at least comparable to that provided by a package with the same contents shipped in accordance with the applicable DOT regulations.
