Informal Request for ATI Records Previously Released

Organization: Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission

Year: 2023

Month: March

Request Number: A-2021-00095

Request Summary: According to the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission “packages requiring certification have to undergo stringent testing since improper packaging can give rise to severe consequences. Testing must simulate both normal and accident conditions of transport. The tests can include free-drop testing, puncture testing, thermal testing and aircraft accident simulations.” Under Certificate Number CDN/2052/B(U)-96 (Rev. 8) the Nuclear Waste Management Organization’s Used Fuel Transportation Package (UFTP) was most recently recertified in 2018-05-01, with an expiry date of 2023-07-31. Please provide all documentation of all testing of the Nuclear Waste Management Organization’s Used Fuel Transportation Package (UFTP) received, reviewed and / or relied upon in the initial certification and subsequent recertifications of the UFTP, including free-drop testing, puncture testing, thermal testing, and submersion testing. In particular, please include all information and/or documentation related to full scale testing of the UFTP. This request extends to documentation received, reviewed and / or relied upon with respect to Ontario Power Generation’s “Prototype Irradiated Fuel Cask” (October 1988, Report No. RMEP-IR-00531.1-24-1), as the predecessor design to the Nuclear Waste Management Organization’s Used Fuel Transportation Package.
