l The casks are right circular :ylinders with a 75.5-inch ID by 73.38-1 I

F inch IH cavity. The walls of the casks contain a lead thickness l

zanging from 1.25 to 2.63 inches encased in 0.38-inch thick inner l

steel shell and 0.88-inch thick outer steel shell. The top cover and,

i g

cask bottom are made up of two steel plates ranging in thickness from n

g i

2.0 to 3.0 inches. The primary cask lid is secured to the cylindrical i

I cask body by eight,1-1/4-inch rachet binders. An optional secondary i

I lid is centered in the primary lid and is secured to the primary lid l

l with eight, 3/4-inch studs and nuts. Each lid is provided with a y

Neoprene gasket seal. The casks may be provided with an optional 12-gauge stainless steel liner (seal welded along all edges), an optional g

lid vent line with pipe plug, and at optional 3/4-inch drain line and I

I pipe plug. The casks are provided with four equally spaced lifting / tie-N I

down devices. The primary lid is provided with three lifting lugs and l

l the optional secondary lid is provided with one lifting lug. The g

casks gross weights range from 49,200 to 65,200 pounds.
