PACKAGE DESCRIPTION The packaging, as shown on Nordion International Drawing No. Fl25701-001 (Rev. D), consists of an inner container and an impact limiting fire shield overpack. The container is a stainless steel encased lead cylinder, with a removable top plug attached by eight high strength 5/8 inch diameter bolts. Sealing is provided by a silicone "O" ring. Vent and drain lines are supplied to facilitate wet loading. The lines are safety plugged. The inner container is mounted onto the disk base of the overpack by four steel brackets and eight 3/4 inch diameter bolts.
The overpack consists of a double carbon steel wall, capped cylinder mounted on a disk base. The cylinder voids are filled with "Fibrefax" thermal insulation. "Transite" sheets protect the base. External fins are welded to the outer skin to provide heat transfer and impact absorption. Hoisting lugs are integral with four of these fins. The overpack cylinder is attached to the base by twelve 1 inch diameter bolts. Skids are provided for mechanical handling.
