The ''machined parts'' casks are shipped to Hanford by Savannah River for loading with irradiated lithium alloy slugs and returned for processing. The casks have been in service for about 10 years and have shielding material more than what is required by regulations for radiation attenuation. Evaluation shows that rupture of the shell is probable for edge or corner drop, with considerable displacement of shielding. The cask would fail in a 2-hour fire of 2000 F with loss of shielding and probable dispersal of the product. Bolts securing cover to cask are inadequate in event of accident.
