(a) Packaging
(1) Model No.: 1105-SD
(2) Description
The Model No. 1105 - SD package consists of multiple configurations. The package is a Category I container. When loaded and prepared for transport, the external dimensions of the 1105-SD package are approximately 83 inches (in.) (210.8 centimeters (cm)) tall and 70 in. ( 177. 8 cm) in diameter (over the low er impact limiter). The maximum weight of the package is 10,100 pounds (lbs) (4,545.5 kilograms (kg)).
Unless noted in the application, all elements of the 1105-SD package are made of Type 304 stainless steel in conformance with the American Standards for Testing Materials ( ASTM) A240. The major components of the package include:
(i) A baseThe base consists of the lower torispherical head, lower flange, lower internal impact limiter, and external impact limiter. The volume inside the external impact limiter is filled with 15 pounds per cubic feet (lb/ft3) polyurethane foam poured in place. The inside surface of the bottom shell is covered with a 1/4-inch thick layer of refractory insulation paper. A full penetration weld connects the lower torispherical head (1/2-inch thick plate) to the lower flange.
(ii) A bellThe bell consists of the upper torispherical head, cylindrical shell, upper flange, vent and test port blocks, upper internal impact limiter, dual side thermal shield, head thermal shield, and the closure bolt access tube structure. Two, 1/4-inch thick, layers of refractory insulation paper cover the area of the containment wall adjacent to the tubes. Machined blocks of 30 lb/ft3 polyurethane foam are located between the tubes.

5.(a) Packaging (Continued)
(2) Description
(iii) An internal lodgment, made of aluminum, which supports the Long Term Storage Shield (LTSS)The lodgment and the inner container designs allow maintaining the position of the payload in the package cavity during normal conditions of transport and hypothetical accident conditions. The LTSS rests on a 1/2-inch thick plate covered with a 1/2-inch thick layer of neoprene rubber.
(iv) LTSSThe LTSS consists of a central steel magazine, or barrel, surrounded by thick lead encased in a steel shell. The barrel contains four longitudinal holes, each of which can accommodate one drawer assembly.
(v) An inner container, which supports shielded devicesThe inner container holds a shielded device and provides support for the device and the blocking (dunnage) mate rials during transport.
(vi) Two internal impact limitersThe interna l impact limiters located at each end of the payload cavity include an array of 130 ASTM A249 or A269, Type TP304, stainless steel tubes. The impact limiters are curved on one side to match the inside of the torispherical head, and flat on the other. Each of the 130 tubes is tack-welded in three places to a stainless steel tube stabilizer sheet. Four stainless steel clips welded to the inner surface of the containment boundary in the lower and upper position hold the internal impact limiters in place.
The LTSS or shielded devices provide shielding. Shielding materials are lead, tungsten, steel, or depleted uranium. The LTSS provides the shielding for the sealed capsule content specified in Tables 1 and 2. Therefore, these sources must be packed in the LTSS drawer(s). The shielded devices, identified in Table 3, are self-shielding, and must be packed in an inner container for shipment as specified in Table 4.
(3) Drawings
The packaging is constructed in accordance with Orano Federal Services LLC draw ings:
