Comments on Transportation Sections of DEIS on Proposed PFS Facility (NUREG-1714)
September 21,2000
Page 18:
Paragraph starting with "This calculation is not logical...."
Original Sentence
"This is acknowledged by the DEIS in Table D-2 at D-6, where it is stated that CRUD can be released in the event of a category 6 accident."
Change To
This is acknowledged by the DEIS in Table D-2 at D-6, where it is stated that CRUD can be released in the event of a category 3 accident."
(change "category 6" to "category 3" in this sentence)
Basis for Requesting Change
This sentence comes from a section criticizing the DEIS for not considering the release of CRUD separately from other spent fuel particulates. The intent was to show that in Table D-2 of the DEIS, it is acknowledged that CRUD can be released in the event of a relatively minor accident (Category 3), when there is no rupture of fuel rod cladding which would lead to a potential release of spent fuel particulates. By not specifying a different release fraction for the Cobalt-60 contained in CRUD, the DEIS appears to neglect the impacts of the accidents in which CRUD can be released but spent fuel particulates will not. This underscores the error in considering the same release fraction for the Co-60 in CRUD as is used for other particulates.

Erratum No. 2
On page 27, the description of each column in Table 5 appears to be obscured by excessive use of "filler." Attached is page 27, with the filler removed so that the column description text is visible; please substitute the attached page 27 for the original page 27.
