## Abstract

10 CFR Part 71 provides the regulatory requirements for the certification of transportation packages for spent nuclear fuel (SNF) and radioactive material. SNF packages are expected to be designed to endure a fully engulfing fire, as prescribed in 10 CFR Part 71. As a regulatory authority for transportation of radioactive materials, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) ensures that packages designed to transport SNF meet the regulations prescribed in 10 CFR Part 71. The purpose of the study described in this report was to support NRC in determining the different types and frequency of roadway accidents involving severe, long duration fires that could impact roadway transport of SNF. Roadway accident data were examined from the U.S. Department of Transportation—Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration. This study focused on those in-transit hazardous material (HAZMAT) accidents resulting in a fire that involved more than one vehicle. Such fires were analyzed to identify those that could have been severe enough to potentially affect an SNF package being transported on a roadway where the source of fuel for the fire would be from a vehicle not carrying the SNF package. From this study, the frequency of a severe fire occurring was estimated as roughly 4.90 × 10−5 accidents per million HAZMAT vehicle-km [7.89 × 10−5 accidents per million HAZMAT vehicle-mi]. This frequency represents 23 severe fire accidents occurring over the last 12 years (i.e., 1997 to 2008). None of the severe fire accidents involved the release of radioactive material. In general, severe fires are characterized by the release of flammable liquid (i.e., Class 3 HAZMAT), and in about 40 percent of the severe fires, more than 22,710 L [6,000 gal] of flammable liquid was released. Also, about half of the severe fires occurred on interstate highways with a median or divider and two of the severe fires occurred on interstate ramps. One of these accidents, occurring on a ramp, was likely in an enclosed area and as a result had the potential to generate a fire with higher average temperatures.

## Abstract

The work presented in this report applies the MELCOR code to evaluate potential accidents in non-reactor nuclear facilities, focusing on Design Basis Accidents. Ten accident scenarios were modeled using NRC’s best–estimate severe accident analysis code, MELCOR 2.2. The accident scenarios simulated a range of explosions and/or fires related to a nuclear fuel reprocessing facility. The objective was to evaluate the radionuclide source term to the environment following initiating explosion and/or fire events. The simulations were performed using a MELCOR model of the Barnwell Nuclear Fuel Plant, which was decommissioned before beginning reprocessing operations. Five of the accident scenarios were based on the Class 5 Design Basis Accidents from the Final Safety Analysis Report. Three of the remaining accident scenarios include sensitivity studies on smaller solvent fires. The final two accidents included an induced fire from an initial explosion. The radionuclide inventory was developed from ORIGEN calculations of spent PWR fuel with an initial enrichment of 4.5% U–235 by weight. The fuel aged for five years after a final 500–day irradiation cycle. The burn-up was conservatively increased to 60 GWd/MTU to bound current US operations. The results are characterized in terms of activity release to the environment and the building decontamination factor, which is related to the leak path factor used in Department of Energy safety analyses. The MELCOR 2.2 results consider adverse consequences to the filters, ventilation system, and structures as a result of the explosions and fires. The calculations also include best–estimate models for aerosol transport, agglomeration, and deposition. The new calculations illustrate best–estimate approaches for predicting the source term from a reprocessing facility accident.

UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 04-1581

ELIZABETH GESSESE, Petitioner,
versus JOHN ASHCROFT, Respondent.
On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals. (A95-905-595) Submitted: November 19, 2004 Decided: December 14, 2004 Before TRAXLER, SHEDD, and DUNCAN, Circuit Judges. Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion. Aragaw Mehari, Washington, D.C., for Petitioner. Peter D. Keisler, Assistant Attorney General, Linda S. Wendtland, Assistant Director, John S. Hogan, OFFICE OF IMMIGRATION LITIGATION, Washington, D.C., for Respondent. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c).- 2 - PER CURIAM: Elizabeth Gessese, a native and citizen of Ethiopia, petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (“Board”) dismissing her appeal from the immigration judge’s denial of asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture. In her petition for review, Gessese contends that she established her eligibility for asylum relief. The record reveals, however, that the Board and immigration judge denied asylum relief on the ground that Gessese failed to demonstrate by clear and convincing evidence that she filed her application within one year of the date of her arrival in the United States. See 8 U.S.C. § 1158(a)(2)(B) (2000). We conclude that we lack jurisdiction to review this determination pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1158(a)(3) (2000). See Zaidi v. Ashcroft , 377 F.3d 678, 680-81 (7th Cir. 2004) (collecting cases). Given this jurisdictional bar, we cannot review the underlying merits of Gessese’s asylum claim. While we lack jurisdiction to consider the denial of Gessese’s asylum claim, we retain jurisdiction to consider the denial of her requests for withholding of removal and protection under the Convention Against Torture. See8 C.F.R. § 1208.4(a) (2004). “To qualify for withholding of removal, a petitioner must show that [s]he faces a clear probability of persecution because of h[er] race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular- 3 - social group, or political opinion.” Rusu v. INS , 296 F.3d 316, 324 n.13 (4th Cir. 2002) (citing INS v. Stevic , 467 U.S. 407, 430 (1984)). To qualify for protection under the Convention Against Torture, a petitioner bears the burden of proof of demonstrating that “it is more likely than not that he or she would be tortured if removed to the proposed country of removal.” 8 C.F.R. § 1208.16(c)(2) (2004). Based on our review of the record, we find that Gessese has failed to meet these standards. Accordingly, we deny Gessese’s petition for review. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

THE BURLINGTON NORTHERN AND 	APPELLEE

SANTA FE RAILWAY COMPANY

	------------

	FROM THE 352ND DISTRICT COURT OF TARRANT COUNTY

	------------

	MEMORANDUM OPINION1

	------------

	Appellant William W. Stout, Jr. appeals a summary judgment dismissing the personal injury suit he brought under the Federal Employees’ Liability Act (FELA)2 against The Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway Company.  In one issue, appellant contends that the trial court improperly ruled that his FELA suit is barred by limitations.  We will affirm.

	The parties are familiar with the facts of this case and the applicable law is well-settled.

	The statute of limitations period under FELA is three years from the date the cause of action accrues.  45 U.S.C.A. § 56.  A cause of action accrues for limitations purposes when a claimant discovers both his injury and its underlying cause.  United States v. Kubrick, 444 U.S. 111, 121-23, 100 S. Ct. 352, 359- 60 (1979); Billman v. Mo. Pac. R.R. Co., 825 S.W.2d 525, 527 (Tex. App.—Fort Worth 1992, writ denied).  The claimant has the burden to allege and prove that he filed suit within this limitations period.  Billman, 825 S.W.2d at 527.

	In his deposition, appellant admitted that he knew that he had a back injury in August of 1998 resulting from a collision between his railroad repair machine and a machine operated by another railroad worker.  This uncontroverted deposition testimony conclusively proves that he discovered both his injury and its underlying cause in August of 1998.  The fact that the injury subsequently turned out to be more serious than appellant first realized does not affect this accrual date.  See id.

	Because appellant’s FELA suit was not filed until October 31, 2001, more than three years after his cause of action accrued in August of 1998, the trial court correctly ruled that his suit was time-barred.  We overrule appellant’s issue and affirm the trial court’s summary judgment.

## Abstract

This report documents the validation of ORIGEN-S computer code predictions of decay heat using experimental benchmarks involving irradiated nuclear fuels. The experiments include the measurements of decay heat for (1) pulse fission irradiations for many fissionable materials in spent fuel for cooling times of interest to severe accident analyses (< 105 s), and for (2) full-length fuel assemblies over longer cooling times of importance to spent fuel storage and transportation. The fuel assembly measurements evaluated in this study include all previously reported measurements performed in the United States at the General Electric Morris Operations facility and at Hanford Engine Maintenance Assembly and Disassembly facility in Nevada. Recent fuel assembly decay heat measurements carried out at the Swedish Central Interim Storage Facility for Spent Fuel, CLAB, are also included. The purpose of this report is to evaluate the computational bias and uncertainty associated with decay heat predictions when using the ORIGEN-S code and cross-section libraries generated employing modules and nuclear data libraries of the SCALE 5 code system. This validation study includes a broader range of assembly designs, fuel enrichments, cooling times, and higher burnup values than has been reported previously. The results will be used to develop technical guidance and recommended margins for uncertainty in decay heat predicted with ORIGEN-S.
