The Packaging and Transportation Safety Program (PATS), which is sponsored by the Office of Environment, Safety and Health, Transportation and Packaging Safety Division, EH-332, has been charged with the responsibility of retrieving reports and information pertaining to transportation or packaging incidents or accidents from the Occurrence Reporting and Processing System (ORPS). These selected reports are being analyzed for trends, impact on EH-332 policies and concerns, and lessons learned concerning transportation and packaging safety. This task is designed not only to keep EH-332 aware of current packaging and transportation incidents and potential transportation and packaging problems that may need attention on DOE sites, but also it is intended to allow future dissemination of lessons learned to the Operations Offices and, subsequently, to management and operating contractors. This report summarizes 12 weekly reports which contain a total of 50 occurrence reports (ORs) relating to packaging and transportation issues. Five reports are highlighted. These concerned employees involvement in a commercial airline crash, the number of bolts needed for spent fuel casks, the shipment of a device classified as Secret Restricted Data by a commercial carrier in an unsecured configuration, entangling of electrical power lines, and a bulging plutonium storage can.
