(a) Packaging (1) Model No.
Super Tiger (2) Descr'ption A protective overpik which provides containment, impact resistance and thermal resistance for its contents.
The containment vessel (cavity) is approximately 76" x 76 x 172" constructed of 3/16" thick and 10-gage mild steel.
Closure of the containment vessel is by a 1/4" thick aluminum plate with ;ilicone rubcer gasket whicn is tolted to the containment vessel. A pressure fitting with cap en tne closure plate provides a means for leak testing.
The containment vessel is centered and supportad in an outer 3/16" tnick-steel jacket by approx-imately 32" of polyuretnane foam insulation at the end and 10" on the sides. A removable section or cap consis"qq of approximately 34" of polyurethane foam insulation encased in steel with a silicone rubber gasket is bolted to the main cutcr steel jacket.
The cverall dimen-sions of tne packages are approximately 8' x 8' x ~20' Vent holes are provided on the sides and ends of the container.
Set into each corner of the cuter container are standard I.S.s steel castings.
The total weight including weight of the contents is 45,C00 pounds.

(b) Contents (continued)
Solidified liauid waste Liquid waste shall be solidified in concrete in 30-gal drum which is sealed in a plastic bag and centered and supported in a DOT Specification 17H 55-gal steel drum by vermiculite, absorbent or plastic material.
The 55-gal drum shall be lined with a sealed plastic bag liner and equipped with a standard dr s closure.

The equipment contaminated surfaces shall be st-io coated (by painting, dipping, spraying, etc.) to fix contnination or otherwise sea'ed by pipe caps or gasketed blind flanges prior to packaging.
The space between the equiprent and the box shall be filled with foam or vermiculite.
Smaller strip coated (as outlined above) equipment items (which will not fit into a 55-gal drum) may be placed inside the larger piece of equipment (e.g., glove box) provided the space between the smaller and larger equipment is also filled with foam or vermiculite. All sharp or protruding objects from equipment shall be removed or blunted to eliminate the possibility of these objects damaging the packaging during normal or accident condi-tions of transit.
50xes shall not be comingled with 55-gal drums.
