|
Based on a request from CNL (attached), modifications were made to the wire ropes protruding through the tops of F-308s to add a crimped loop which acts
as a lifting feature. Tests were performed (report attached) on 10 sample units to validate the strength of these loops, since each loop could not be tested
in-situ once the pails were already packed in F-308s. CNL has reviewed and approved the test report. |
