MURR Type B Shipping QA ProgramPOL-14
Revision 4
I. INTRODUCTION
This document establishes a Shipping Quality Assurance (QA) Program for the University of
Missouri Research Reactor (MURR) in accordance with 10 CFR 71, Subpart H. The MURR
Shipping QA Program establishes requirements applicable to procurement, use, maintenance,
and repair of packaging used in transport of licensed material in excess of a Type A quantity.
The program includes the purchase, handling, shipping, storing, cleaning, assembly, inspection,
testing, operation, maintenance, repair and use of Type B shipping containers regulated by 10
CFR 71. The Shipping QA Program applies to those activities affecting the casks and their
components, which are significant to safety. Quality assurance comprises those planned and
systematic actions necessary to provide adequate confidence that a system or component will
perform satisfactorily in service. Shipping casks regulated by 10 CFR 71 will be released for
shipping only after they have satisfactorily met the requirements of the MURR Shipping QA
Program.
II. QUALITY ASSURANCE
1.0 ORGANIZATION
1.1 The Associate Director of the MURR Regulatory Assurance Group (RAG) is
responsible for the Shipping QA Program and shall assure the program complies
with 10 CFR 71, Packaging and Transportation of Radioactive Material. The
Associate Director (RAG) will have the following minimum qualifications:
Bachelors degree in Engineering or related field; five years experience with
radioactive materials shipping; and general knowledge of all aspects of research
reactor operation.

MURR Type B Shipping QA ProgramPOL-14
Revision 4
1.2 The Associate Director (RAG) shall designate individuals, in writing, as Shipping
QA Supervisors who have the responsibility to ensure that all work in their
assigned area complies with 10 CFR 71, Subpart H-Quality Assurance. The
Associate Director (RAG) shall designate in writing Shipping QA Inspectors, who
have the responsibility to ensure that all requirements of Shipping QA procedures
have been performed and verified. The Shipping QA Supervisor and Shipping
QA Inspector positions may be collateral duties of the designated staff members.
1.3 All Shipping QA Supervisors, Inspectors, and Performers have the authority to
stop noncompliant or unsafe work. If a difference in opinion or a safety concern
occurs between a Shipping personnel concerning compliance with the Type B
Shipping QA Program, the work evolution involved shall be stopped and put in a
safe condition. The Associate Director (RAG) will resolve the issue.
1.4 MURR has divided the Shipping QA Program into three responsible groups:
Byproduct Materials Shipping, Spent Fuel/Fissile Material Shipping, and
Hazardous Waste Shipping. Each group has a Shipping QA Supervisor assigned
from their respective workgroups to ensure that work in that subject area meets
the requirements of the MURR Shipping QA Program.
1.5 Any participant in the program may, if trained, perform quality assurance and
shipping functions, but may not perform both functions on the same shipment or
evolution.

Revision 4
2.0 QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM
The MURR Shipping QA Program establishes requirements applicable to procurement, use,
maintenance, and repair of packaging used in transport of licensed material in excess of a Type A
quantity.
2.1 Any action or procedure that could significantly affect the ability of any package
structure, system, or component to perform safely and as specified, falls within
the scope of the MURR Shipping Quality Assurance Program.
Activities important to safety must be conducted in appropriate environments,
using appropriate equipment and work instructions, including procedures and/or
checksheets, and be documented including the person or people responsible for
actions and verification of actions.
The Shipping QA Program will be applied in a graded approach to an extent
consistent with the importance to safety.
2.2 Because MURR does not design or manufacture Type B shipping casks, the
regulations in 10 CFR 71, Subpart D-Application for Package Approval, Subpart
E-Package Approval Standards and Subpart F-Package, Special Forms, and LSA-
III Tests are not applicable to the MURR Shipping QA Program.
2.3 All Shipping QA Supervisors and Shipping QA Inspectors will have their training
and experience documented by completion of appropriate training records. In
their assigned areas, each Shipping QA Supervisor shall ensure that all personnel
who perform work in accordance with their Shipping QA procedures are
adequately trained and qualified to perform this work.
