USA product details for - Design No.2999A - SAFESHIELD
Designed as a B(U) Package to the 1985 Edition of the IAEA Regulations for the Safe Transport of Radioactive Material.
The packaging is currently being certified through the US NRC for shipments in the USA and internationally.
The outer container, Casket Design No 2999, is a ‘double shell’ welded cylindrical casket manufacturedo
in low carbon steel with a circular bolted closure at the base. The space between the ‘shells’ is filled with
phenolic resin foam as a thermal insulant.
The inner container, Flask Design No 2993, is a robust and compact shielded flask. The flask is a weldedo
stainless steel construction incorporating lead shielding. Access to the cavity is gained by removing a
bolted flange and lead filled plug.
The closure of the inner container Design No 2993 is in the form of a separate flange with double 'O'-ring
seals. The interspace between the 'O'-ring seals facilitates leakage testing to ensure that the seals achieve
the prescribed levels of leaktightness. As the flange is separate from the shielding plug, the final closure
and subsequent leakage testing can be carried out in a low radiation exposure area.
