(a)
Packaging (1)
Model No.: 9975 (2)
Description The packaging consists of a drum assembly, insulating and impact absorbing material, a lead shield assembly, the secondary containment vessel (SCV), and the primary containment vessel (PCV) which contains the radioactive contents within the inner and outer stainless steel seal-welded 3013 containers.
The drum and the lid are fabricated from 18-gauge Type 304L stainless steel. The drum lid, recessed below the top surface of the closure flange, is secured by twenty four 1/2-inch bolts.
The drum is vented by four 1/2-inch diameter vent holes, approximately 90° apart and 1 inch below the drum flange, covered with fusible plastic plugs that melt in a fire, allowing venting to prevent rupture of the drum.
A thermal blanket, placed between the top insulation subassembly and the drum closure lid for additional thermal protection, serves also as packing to reduce axial movements of the components in the drum.
The lead of the shielding body is ASTM B-749 or B29 and machined, after casting, to a nominal thickness of 1/2-inch. The lid of the shielding body is 1/2-inch thick ASTM B-209 1100 aluminum and attaches to the shielding body with four screws.

Description (Continued)
The nested PCV and SCV, which provide the packaging double containment system, are loaded into the shielding body of the packaging, and are fabricated from a Schedule 40, seamless, Type 304L stainless steel pipe. The PCV and SCV are closed by a 3/4-inch thick cone-seal plug and nut assembly that holds the O-ring that forms the containment boundary at the open ends of the vessels. The containment boundary for the vessel is formed by the containment vessel body, the cone-seal plug, the outer O-ring and the leak-test port plug.
The PCV has an internal volume of approximately 313 cubic inches, a usable inside cavity approximately 15 inches deep, and a minimum diameter of 5 inches. The assembled SCV has an internal volume of approximately 604 cubic inches, a usable cavity approximately 21.5 inches deep with a minimum diameter of 6 inches.
Aluminum honeycomb impact absorbers are used in the SCV to reduce the impact loads transmitted between the containment vessels. An aluminum spacer is installed in the bottom of the PCV to provide a flat surface for the 3013 container.
The maximum weights (lb) are listed below:
Maximum Value Empty Packaging 374 Maximum Value Contents 44.4 Maximum Value Package (i) 404 (i)Due to the variability of the empty packaging weight, the weight of the contents may have to be limited so that the package maximum weight does not exceed 404 lb.
