(a) Packaging (1) Model No.: C-8 A steel encased, uranium shielded source exchanger. The shipping container is approximately 16 inches in diameter,13 inches long and 26 inches high in its skid mounted configuration. The radio-active source assembly is housed in a Zircaloy or titanium "S" tube. A septum at the center of the "S" tube prevents moving the source assembly beyond the optimum shielding position. The tube is surrounded by depleted uranium metal as shielding material. The depleted uranium shield assembly is encased in a steel housing. The void space between the depleted uranium shield assembly and the inner container is filled with a polyurethane foam. The gross weight of the container is 500 pounds.
