[
f Steel encased, lead shielded cask for low ~ specific activity material. The cask is a right circular cylinder-81-1/2 inches high by 81-3/4 inches in diameter.
g i
the cask cavity is 73-3/8 inches ~high by 75-1/2 inches in diameter. The cask l l side wall consists of a 3/8-inch thick. inner steel shell, a 1-3/4-inch lead I I l
shell, and a 7/8-inch thick outer. steel shell.
Each base is comprised of two, I!
2-inch thick steel plates welded together to form a 4-inch thick base which is l
intergerally welded to the inner and outer steel shells of the side wall. A y
steel flange'is welded to the inner and outer steel shells of the side wall at g :
i the top. The lid is comprised of two, 2-inch thick steel plates, which are I :
stepped and welded together to mate with the steel flange. The cask closures Il are scaled by a Neoprene gasket, located between the lid and steel flange, I
l positive closure of the lid is accomplished by eight rachet binders. The lid contains a centrally located shield plug comprised of two, 2-inch thick steel y
plates and one,1-inch thick steel plate stepped and welded. The shield plug I
is sealed by a Neoprene gasket, and eight, 3/4-inch studs and nut are used to ll provide positive closure.
1l ll Tie-down is accomplished by four tie-down lugs welded to the cask body. There j
are four cask lifting lugs, three lid lifting lugs, and one shield plug lifting
