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.

approved QA program, identifies the type of verification activities required during

use and maintenance, and designates other pertinent documentation to be

furnished with the packaging (for example, certificate of compliance, as-built

drawings, use and maintenance manuals, photographs). The procurement

agreement should include a statement regarding records the supplier must retain,

records the supplier must forward to the user, MURR access to sub-contractors,

and requirements for reporting of nonconformances.

4.2 Package procurement documents must be reviewed and approved prior to use of

the package(s) and, if changed, shall be subsequently reviewed and approved with

at least the same level of review applied to the original.

4.3 Prior to the purchase of replacement parts for Type B shipping casks,

procurement documents for all parts important to safety will be reviewed and the

review documented by the appropriate Shipping QA Supervisor to ensure that all

technical and QA requirements are included in purchase orders. When applicable,

purchase orders shall be placed with suppliers/manufacturers previously qualified

during fabrication of the packaging. For the purchase of replacement parts from

suppliers/manufacturers not previously identified as qualified sources, it is the

responsibility of the appropriate Shipping QA Supervisor to ensure that the
