1.0 PURPOSE

1. This report provides detailed requirements and acceptance criteria applicable to the

procurement of radioactive hazardous materials (rad hazmat) qualified USA DOT 7A

Type A drums as commercial grade items. The drums are to be procured for use as

DOT shipping packaging.

2. This report is intended for use in conjunction with other commercial grade item

procurement documents such as specifications, dedication packages, surveillance

plans, commercial grade survey checklists, and receipt inspection criteria plans.

2.0 SCOPE

Primarily, this report is for use with Supplier’s that do not have fully compliant ASME

NQA-1 2008/2009a (NQA-1) Part 1 quality assurance programs implemented for the

production of drums. However, the itemization of technical requirements and associated

procurement/acceptance criteria may also prove useful when using a graded approach to

procure drums from qualified NQA-1 Part 1 Suppliers.

3.0 DISCUSSION

1. Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) qualified, USA DOT 7A Type A drums

(hereafter referred to simply as simply drum(s)) of varying sizes (e.g., 5, 10, 30, 55,

85 and 110 gallon) will be used to contain, store, and transport rad hazmat. Materials

of construction are primarily carbon or stainless sheet steel, fastener hardware,

formed fittings/plugs, cast [closure ring] lugs and gaskets (used to seal lids and bungs

after loading).

2. This document addresses standard “off-the-shelf” single wall, open head, drums with

or without bung fittings, no additional appurtenances (such as valves, lift

attachments, etc.) and no add-on shielding to control radiation dose rates. Contents

will be solids only and suitable for the drum design as determined by the RE. The

7A drums will be procured as qualified for shipment in-commerce or onsite transfer

and with contents as regulated by DOT. Other uses of the drums (i.e., non-DOT

regulated contents) when occurring for onsite transfer under a Transportation Safety

Basis must be uniquely addressed within individual Transportations Safety Basis

documents.

3. Drums are marketed by numerous Suppliers and sold throughout the world to

customers in varying industries. The drums are procured using manufacturer catalog

numbers or generic descriptions such as “DOT 7A Type A meeting 49 CFR 178.350

Requirements”. Production is of a routine, repetitive nature (i.e., processed

continuously by the same personnel, on the same machinery, in the same process

line). Varying design options (such as closure ring type and bung fitting

model/number) are pre-existing and selected “cafeteria style” depending on the

intended use. Unique features that may be requested by an end user are typically of a

superficial of nature (e.g., paint color, interior coating/liner) and should not impact a

drum’s basic design or tested configuration (RE’s responsibility to ensure).

4. The following references (regulatory and DOE directive) are applicable to the

implementation of quality assurance requirements for drum procurements:

49 CFR 173.403 Definitions - Quality

49 CFR 173.474 Quality control for construction of packaging

49 CFR 173.475 Quality control requirements prior to each shipment of Class 7

(radioactive) materials

Commercial Grade Item Procurement Revision 0a

Page 6 of 29

49 CFR 173.415 Authorized Type A packages

DOE Order 460.1C, Packaging and Transportation Safety, Contractor

Requirements Document

NQA-1 is primarily the Standard implemented by DOE contractors for assuring the

quality of procured drums and is the basis for development of this report. However,

within the drum supply industry sales are to customers with varying expectations

related to Supplier quality program standards and most are not for nuclear materials

application. Past experience with drum procurements has revealed that Suppliers will

likely not have a ASME NQA-1-2008/2009a Part 1** quality program or have one

that is not fully implemented. ** Full Part 1 implementation is under a graded approach that includes de-selection of

requirements/sections/paragraphs deemed not applicable to the procured commodity.

Drum manufacturing includes varying activities through completion such as

establishing a regulatory/customer compliant design, ordering multiple material

types/components, prototype testing, fabrication, production testing, and final

assembly. Therefore, Suppliers must have an established QA program with

implemented controls that sufficiently address these activities and ensures product

acceptability whether at some level of NQA-1 implementation or by use of an

alternate quality Standard (e.g. ISO:9001). Details on areas of QA program controls

that will be required of a Supplier for the production of drums are listed in Tables 1

and 2.

5. Drum Safety Functions

Drums are used as 7A Type A packaging in a radioactive materials processing system

that is bounded by 49 CFR Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) under normal

conditions of transport (NCT). Included are:

Loading of content and closure to prescribed requirements

Interim/short term staging in preparation for transport

Physical preparation for transport (i.e., handling, lifting and loading/securing on a

conveyance)

Communications for transport (marking/labeling, shipping papers, etc.)

Physical transport from point of origin to point of destination

The Safety Functions of 7A Type A packaging within this processing system are the

safe, reliable, and effective positive closure for containment of materials and, when

applicable, shielding protection from radiation dose rates at or below regulated

levels. Typical drum procurements do not require a design with enhanced or unique

shielding to manage and limit the dose rate. Therefore shielding will not be

considered as a drum safety function in this report.

Note: It is the drum end user’s responsibility through content management and

payload positioning and securement to comply with regulatory radiation dose

requirements.

The HMR contains numerous design, construction, and performance requirements

that contribute to drum use safety. For the purposes of commercial item packaging

dedication, identifiable and measurable attributes most important to drum

performance safety will be selected as critical characteristics (CCs) required for

acceptance. Drum CCs required for acceptance are identified in Table 1 and shall

USA DOT 7A Type A Drums, xx-xxx-xxxx

Commercial Grade Item Procurement Revision 0a

Page 7 of 29

be verified for each delivered lot. Remaining CCs are evaluated for compliance

either during supplier/item suitability assessments, or document reviews. They may

also be required for acceptance with each delivered lot if so determined as required

by the RE. The selection of CCs required for acceptance shall, in part, be influenced

by the Failure Mode description below.

6. Drum Failure Mode

A credible failure mode would be a leaking or unintended opening and exposure to

contents (internal or by spillage) of a drum during NCT (i.e., compromise the

established safety function of protection by positive closure and containment). The

likely failure mechanism for leaking would be at a component to component

mechanical connection such as drum bottom, lid to body interface, or bung fitting.

For unintentional opening and exposure, the likely failure mechanism would be a

loosening or breaking of the drum ring resulting in a partial or complete

seating/removal of the lid.

7. Compliance & Production Sustainability Assessment (CPSA)

CPSA criteria focus on assuring compliant and sustainable Supplier capabilities and

QA program controls. Much of the criteria will be evaluated and validated on the

initial qualification of a supplier and not repeated until performance of periodic

requalification assessments or due to significant changes to customer requirements or

Supplier program controls. Some criteria are more product specific and allow for the

continuing (i.e., with each lot) evaluation/ monitoring of a Supplier’s performance

and quality of product. Reference Table 2 for CPSA criteria.

4.0 EVALUATION/SELECTION OF SUPPLIERS

1. Evaluation/selection of a drum Supplier includes a determination of product

applicability to need as well as suitability for intended use. It will also include

assessing a Supplier’s ability to sustain an acceptable level of product quality.

2. Two criteria from NQA-1 Requirement 7, Section 200 will be used for selection and

evaluation of Suppliers. They are:

Paragraph (b) “qualitative and quantitative evaluation of supplier quality records”

and

Paragraph (c) “direct evaluation of supplier technical and quality capability.”

3. Document Review Verifications (DRV) listed in Table 1and Responsible Engineer

Acceptance (REA) listed in Table 2 align with Paragraph (b).

4. A combination of NQA-1 Part II Subpart 2.14 Acceptance Method 2 (M2),

Commercial Grade Survey and Method 3 (M3), Source Verification from Table 1 and

Supplier Capability Survey (SCS) and Supplier Implementation Surveillance (SIS)

from Table 2 align with Paragraph (c).

5. Use of M2 or M3 for supplier evaluation/selection is in combination with their use

for product acceptance.

6. In conjunction with evaluating Supplier QA program controls, the RE will determine

a Supplier’s 49CFR compliance capabilities for the production of drums. This

evaluation may take the form of Supplier facility visit/assessment, review of

document submittals, review of historical records or any combination thereof.
