Package Type

The 2899A SAFTAINER is designed as an Industrial Package in accordance with the IAEA Regulations for the Safe Transport of Radioactive Material. The SAFTAINER is specifically designed as a transport and disposal (at LLWR) container.

Certification

The 2899A SAFTAINER is designed and tested to ISO standards and CSC approved and has previously been certified as an Industrial Package Type 2 (IP-2) Transport Package..

Description

The 2899A SAFTAINER is a large volume reusable container for the transport of bulk quantities of radioactive materials.

The 2899A SAFTAINER is constructed from mild steel and has a removable lid which is secured and fastened on to the container by a bolted closure. The internal and external surfaces are treated with a durable paint finish for corrosion protection.

The 2899A SAFTAINER was originally designed to be employed as a recovery container for use in emergency response incidents (use in the public domain at discretion of regulatory authorities).
