(a) Packaging (1)
Model No. 1100 (2)
Description The Model No. 1100 package is designed for use as an industrial radiography exposure device and as a transport package for Type B quantities of radioactive material in special form. The 1100 has a maximum capacity of 150 Curies of Iridium-192 or 150 Curies of Selenium-75.
The 1100 package, without the jacket, is cylindrical in shape with a diameter of 5 inches (127 mm) and a length of 13 inches (330 mm). With the jacket, the shape of the package is an extruded triangle that is 8.5 inches (226 mm) tall, 6.5 inches (168 mm) wide, and 13 inches (330 mm) long.
The weight of the 1100 is 44 pounds (20 kg) without the jacket, and 48 pounds (22 kg) with the jacket.
The major components of the package consist of a welded stainless steel cylindrical body, a depleted uranium shield, a rear plate with locking assembly, a front plate assembly, a containment system (special form source), and optional jacket.

Description (continued)
The depleted uranium shield is suspended inside the welded body between the endplate by brackets that are welded to the inside of each endplate. A copper spacer fills the gap between the shield and the bracket. An S-shaped titanium source tube is cast into the center of the shield to provide a cavity for the source wire assembly and shipping plug assembly to travel through during use.
The rear plate with locking assembly is attached to the welded body with four tamperproof screws through rivnuts assembled into the endplate. The front plate assembly is attached to the welded body with three tamperproof screws through rivnuts assembled into the endplate. The rear plate assembly consists of a source wire locking mechanism fastened to the rear plate. The front plate assembly consists of a shielded port mechanism contained within the front plate.
An optional polyurethane jacket covers the package cylinder, provides a handle and a stable base, and is attached to the shell cylinder by posts and screws located outside the shield cavity area.

Drawings The packaging is constructed in accordance with the QSA Global, Inc., drawing R1100 Descriptive Drawing, Rev. A, sheets 1-6.
(b) Contents (1)
Type and form of material Iridium-192 as a sealed source which meets the requirements of special form radioactive material.
Selenium-75 as a sealed source which meets the requirements of special form radioactive material.
(2)
Maximum quantity of material per package Ir-192: 150 Curies (5.55 TBq) (output).
Se-75: 150 Curies (5.55 TBq).
Output curies for Ir-192 are determined by measuring the source output at 1 meter and expressing its activity in curies derived from the following: 0.48 R/(hr-Ci)
