(a) Packaging
(1) Model No.: 9979
(2) Description
The Model No. 9979 package is composed of one 55-gallon drum overpack and one 30-gallon inner drum.
The 55-gallon drum and its lid, fabricated from 16-gauge carbon steel, include a welded steel liner containing a polyurethane foam for thermal insulation and structural support. When installed, the lid assembly extends into the drum body liner. An EPDM gasket seals the overpack closure. The 30-gallon inner drum, fabricated from 16-gauge carbon steel, is positioned centrally, both radially and axially, within the 55-gallon drum overpack steel liner.
The inner drum, which secures the radioactive contents payload, is the containment boundary for the package. A silicon gasket seals the 30-gallon containment drum closure.
Reinforced split-ring devices, fabricated from 12-gauge carbon steel, provide secure closures for both the 30-and 55-gallon drums. Tamper Indicating Devices (TID) can be inserted through the lugs welded at each end of the two split-rings for both the 55-and 30-gallon drums.
Two thermal insulation components, made of a ceramic fiber mat sandwiched and sewn between flexible fiberglass woven cloth, are added to the packaging: a quilted insulation cover, 21 1/2 inches in diameter by 1/2 inch thick is positioned between the 30-gallon and 55-gallon drum closure lid and an insulation bag is installed in the 30-gallon drum.
