Packaging (1)
Model No.:
SENTRY (2)
Description The Model No. SENTRY package includes the Model Nos. SENTRY 110, SENTRY 330, and SENTRY 867, as three variations of the same design. The external dimensions of all models in their standard transport configurations, i.e., with the handling rib and link plate assemblies, are identical and are approximately 19 inches (48 cm) wide, 19 inches (48 cm) tall, and 19 inches (48 cm) deep.
The primary components of the SENTRY packages include (i) a depleted uranium shield completely encased and supported in a cylindrically shaped, stainless steel, welded body, (ii) the rear plate lock and front plate assemblies, (iii) the handling rib and link plate, and (iv) the source assembly. The inner cavity of the welded body around the shield is filled with polyurethane foam. The Model Nos. SENTRY 110 and 330 packages can contain only one source wire assembly during transport, while two source wire assemblies can be loaded into the Model No. SENTRY 867 package. The radioactive contents are securely positioned by either a lock slide for the Model Nos. SENTRY 110 and 330 packages or locking pins for the Model No. SENTRY 867 package. All lock assemblies include a dust cover with a plunger lock to prevent rotation of the selector ring and further secure the source in the package during transport.
The optional rib/link assemblies provide lifting attachments and are bolted to the body weldment. The maximum weight, including the optional rib/link assemblies, is 780 pounds (354 kg) for the Model Nos. SENTRY 330 and 867 packages, and 605 pounds (274 kg) for the Model No. SENTRY 110 package.

(b)
Contents (1) Type and form of material Cobalt-60, as a sealed source, which meets the requirements of special form radioactive material.
All source wire assemblies consist of a special form capsule crimped onto the end of a flexible steel wire.
(2) Maximum quantity of material per package:
Co-60: 110 curies (4.07 TBq) for the Model No. SENTRY 110 package.
Co-60: 330 curies (12.2 TBq) for the Model Nos. SENTRY 330 and 867 packages.
(3) Maximum weight of contents:
0.09 pounds (40 grams) for the Model Nos. SENTRY 110 and 330 packages.
0.18 pounds (80 grams) for the Model No. SENTRY 867 package.
The maximum content weight includes the mass of radioactive material and the source capsule handling wire assembly for a shipment containing the maximum number of source wire assemblies that can be transported in a package, i.e., 1 source wire assembly for the Model Nos. SENTRY 110 and 330 packages, and 2 source wire assemblies for the Model No. SENTRY 867 package.
(4) Maximum decay heat:
5.5 watts 6.
A cover over the source wire connector prevents access to the source assembly until a keyed lock is actuated and the cover removed. This cover stays in place during transport of the package.
