The transport package design identified below is certified by the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission pursuant to paragraph 21(1)(h) of the Nuclear Safety and Control Act and Subsection 10(1) of the Packaging and Transport of Nuclear Substances Regulations, 2015 and to the IAEA's Regulations for the Safe Transport of Radioactive Material, 2018 Edition.

PACKAGE IDENTIFICATION Make/Model:

Designer:

F-168 (1996) and F-168-X (1996), Serial Nos. 53 and up Nordion (Canada) Inc.

The F-168 packaging, as shown on Nordion Drawing Nos. F116801-001, (Rev. X) and F116801-020, (Rev. H) and the F-168-X packaging, as shown on Nordion Drawing Nos. F116801-100 (Rev. F) and F116801-101 (Rev. J),

consists of a 266 mm lead-filled shielding steel encased right cylinder with external fins, insulated steel flame shields on the top and side, steel covered insulation on the bottom and an optional heat screen on the top. The cavity is equipped with a drain and vent line for pool loading. The drain and vent line of the F-168-X package are sealed with a stainless steel plug. The package is permanently mounted on a structural steel base. The containment system is the source outer encapsulation. An illustration of the package is shown on attached F516801

-002 (Issue A).

Any modification to the package design must be submitted to the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission for approval prior to implementation.

PACKAGE DESCRIPTION IDENTIFICATION MARK The package shall bear the competent authority identification mark "CDN/2081/B(U)".

Mode of Transport:
