'i Steel encased lead shielded casks for radioactive material. The casks are d

• t right circular cylinders with a 77.25-inch ID by 80.25-inch IH cavity. The N

'i8 walls of the casks contain a lead thickness ranging from 1.25 to 1.88 inches N 1 encased in 0.38-inch thick inner steel shell and 0.88-inch thick outer steel I i

shell. The top cover and cask bottom are made up of two steel plates with N 8

1 thickness of 2.0 inches. .The primary cask lid is secured to the cylindrical N 9 cask body by eight, 1-1/4-inch rachet binders. An optional secondary lid is d e centered in the primary lid and is secured to the arimary lid with eight, I

1. j 1 3/4-inch studs and nuts. Each lid is provided wit 1 a Neoprene gasket seal. N

1. j The casks may be provided with an optional 12 gauge stainless steel liner I W

i (seal welded along all edges), an optional lid vent line with pipe plug, and a

1. i an optional 3/4-inch drain line with pipe plug. The casks are provided with a

1. j four equally spaced lifting / tie-down devices. The primary lid is provided q 4, with three lifting lugs and the optional secondary lid is provided with one a W

i lifting lug. The casks gross weights range from 51,600 to 58,400 pounds. q

(1) The hydrogen generated must be limited to a molar quantity that would be g no more than 5% by volume (or equivalent limits for other inflammable g
