IRRADIATION AND HANDLING OF COBALT TARGETS

Description - There are currently 26 positions in the ATR qualified for Co-59
irradiation.  INIS shall pay for the positions used during the irradiation
cycle. Each position can be loaded with a stack of up to three targets,
irradiating a maximum of 78 targets per cycle.  INL will determine availability
of the requested positions.  Additional positions (beyond the 26 positions noted
above) that are determined to be available will require an amendment to this
Contract.  No less than 90 days prior to each operating cycle, INIS shall
provide a Target Rotation and Loading Schedule for all positions in which
targets will be inserted in the ensuing ATR cycle.  The Target Rotation and
Loading Schedule shall include: current target core position and axial position
(“Top; T”, “Middle: M”, “Bottom B”), target identification number, requested
target position rotation/loading changes to occur during the outage, the final
target core and axial position (“T”, “M”, “B”), and target identification
number. Targets may also be requested to be stored in the ATR canal.

INL Scope of Work - Upon authorization from IBO, INL shall:

 

1.

Receive Target Rotation and Loading Schedule from INIS.

2.

Perform core physics calculations with planned cobalt target loading.

3.

Discharge, rotate, relocate, or insert new targets in accordance with the Target
Rotation and Loading Schedule and INL procedures.  

Price for target discharge, rotation, and relocation/insertion of up to five
baskets during an outage will be $[***] with an additional $[***] per basket for
any basket over five during a single handling campaign.

In addition, Irradiation Utilization (IU) charges will apply.  IU charges are
computed as Cost Per Position times Lobe Power (MW) times Operating Days.

Cost for positions currently available for irradiating Co-59 targets are as
follows:

Inner A (IA)

$[***]

Outer A (OA)

$[***]

H

$[***]

INIS shall pay for the irradiation charges based on actual values rather than
estimates.

4.    COBALT TARGET SHIPMENT TO INIS

4a. Description - INIS shall notify the IBO not less than 90 days before desired
shipment date. Notification will include desired shipment date and specific
targets (identified by unique markings) to be shipped.  INL will determine a
shipment date that fits into the ATR schedule and shall communicate this to INIS
and the IBO. During transportation and handling activities, INL will coordinate
directly with INIS.  INIS shall be responsible for shipping irradiated cobalt
targets from the ATR.  INIS shall furnish the INIS-2 radioactive material
shipping package.  INIS shall be responsible for all the logistics of shipment,
including, but not limited to, staging the empty INIS-2 package at the ATR and
shipping the loaded INIS-2 package from ATR.  INIS shall be responsible for the
cost of all transportation. INL will perform an assay to obtain gamma flux
levels for each target being shipped. INL will load the INIS-2 package in
accordance with INL-authored work procedures and will verify the INIS-2 package
has been loaded and readied for shipment in accordance with the INIS-2 package’s
authority for use in shipping radioactive material in accordance with DOT
