【 摘 要 】

The Packaging Surveillance Program section of the DOE M441.1-1^{/sup>1, Nuclear Material Packaging Manual (DOE, 2008) requires DOE contractors to ???ensure that a surveillance program is established and implemented to ensure the nuclear material storage package continues to meet its design criteria.??? In order to ensure continuing safe storage of nuclear material and the maximization of risk reduction, TA-55 has established a Surveillance Program to ensure storage container integrity for operations within its specified design life. The LANL SAVY-4000 Field Surveillance Plan2 defines the near-term field surveillance plan for SAVY-4000 containers as required by the Manual. A long-term surveillance plan will be established based on the results of the first several years of surveillance and the results of the lifetime extension studies as defined in the Accelerated Aging Plan3. This report details progress in positioning the Surveillance Program for successful implementation in FY14 and status of the Design Life Extension Program in terms of its implementation and data collection for FY13.}
