(a) Packaging (1) Model No.: NPI-20WC-6 MkII (2) Description A steel encased, lead shielded cask contained within a wooden overpack with a steel outer shell. The cask is 24 inches in diameter with a 3/8-inch thick steel spherical shell and a cavity formed by an 8-1/4-inch ID by 3/16-inch thick steel tube. Positive closure of the shielded cask is accomplished by bolted end covers at each end of the cavity. The overpack outer diameter, including the flanges which secures the lid to the body and the tie downs brackets, is approximately 55 inches in diameter. The overpack height, including the lid lifting eye and the base support structure, is approximately 59 inches. The maximum package gross weight is 6,000 pounds.
(3) Drawings The Model No. NPI-20WC-6 MkII packaging is constructed in accordance with Neutron Products, Inc., Drawing Nos. 240116, Rev. J; and 240122, Sheet 1 of 2, Rev. H, Sheet 2 of 2, Rev. H.
