DHS 157.93(6)(am)(am) The general license issued in par. (a) applies only to a licensee who has a quality assurance program approved by the commission as satisfying the applicable provision of s. DHS 157. 94 (6).
DHS 157.93(6)(b)(b) The general license in par. (a) applies only to international shipments.
DHS 157.93(6)(c)(c) The licensee issued a general license in par. (a) shall meet the following:
DHS 157.93(6)(c)1.1. Maintain a copy of the applicable certificate, the revalidation, and the drawings and other documents referenced in the certificate relating to the use and maintenance of the packaging and to the actions to be taken prior to shipment.
DHS 157.93(6)(c)2.2. Comply with the terms and conditions of the certificate and revalidation, and with the requirements s. DHS 157.92 and 157.94.
DHS 157.93(7)(7)Fissile material.
DHS 157.93(7)(a)(a) A general license is hereby issued to any licensee to transport fissile material, or to deliver fissile material to a carrier for transport, if the material is shipped under this subsection. The fissile material need not be contained in a package which meets the standards of subparts E and F of 10 CFR 71; however, the material shall be contained in a Type A package. The Type A package shall also meet the U.S. department of transportation requirements of 49 CFR 173.417(a).
DHS 157.93(7)(b)(b) The general license applies only to a licensee who has a quality assurance program approved by the NRC as satisfying the provision of subpart H of 10 CFR 71.
DHS 157.93(7)(c)(c) The general license applies only when a package’s contents meet all the following criteria:
DHS 157.93(7)(c)1.1. Contains no more than a Type A quantity of radioactive material.
DHS 157.93(7)(c)2.2. Contain less than 500 total grams of beryllium, graphite, or hydrogenous material enriched in deuterium.
DHS 157.93(7)(d)(d) The general license applies only to a package containing fissile material that is labeled with a CSI and meets all the following criteria:
DHS 157.93(7)(d)1.1. Has been determined in accordance with par. (e).
DHS 157.93(7)(d)2.2. Has a value less than or equal to 10.0.
DHS 157.93(7)(d)3.3. For a shipment of multiple packages containing fissile material, the sum of the CSIs shall be less than or equal to 50 for shipment on a nonexclusive use conveyance and less than or equal to 100 for shipment on an exclusive use conveyance.
DHS 157.93(7)(e)(e) The value for the CSI shall be greater than or equal to the number calculated by the following equation:
DHS 157.93(7)(e)1.1. The calculated CSI shall be rounded up to the first decimal place.
DHS 157.93(7)(e)2.2. The values of X, Y, and Z used in the CSI equation shall be taken from Table DHS 157.93A or Table DHS 157.93B, as appropriate.
DHS 157.93(7)(e)3.3. If Table DHS 157.93B is used to obtain the value of X, then the values for the terms in the equation for uranium-233 and plutonium shall be assumed to be zero.
DHS 157.93(7)(e)4.4. Table DHS 157.93A values for X, Y, and Z shall be used to determine the CSI under any of the following conditions:
DHS 157.93(7)(e)4.a.a. Uranium-233 is present in the package.
DHS 157.93(7)(e)4.b.b. The mass of plutonium exceeds one percent of the mass of uranium-235.
DHS 157.93(7)(e)4.c.c. The uranium is of unknown uranium-235 enrichment or greater than 24 weight percent enrichment.
DHS 157.93(7)(e)4.d.d. Substances having a moderating effectiveness (i.e., an average hydrogen density greater than H2O) (e.g., certain hydrocarbon oils or plastics) are present in any form, except as polyethylene used for packing or wrapping.
