(a) Packaging

(1) Model No.: F-423

(2) Description

A double-walled welded stainless steel overpack for shipping sealed sources within the Gammacell 220 (GC220) gamma irradiator. The packaging consists of concentric box-like stainless steel shells separated by an annulus of rigid polyurethane foam. The overall overpack wall thickness is eight inches on the sides, twelve inches on the front and rear, and four inches on the base. The overpack lid is constructed of a sheet of 1/2-inch thick stainless steel on top, a sheet of 1/4-inch thick cold-rolled steel on the bottom, and 4-inches of polyurethane foam in between. The package is closed by bolting the lid to the body with 40 one-inch diameter bolts.

The GC220 irradiator is positioned inside the cavity formed by the inner stainless steel shell, along with an inner steel frame and a rigid polyurethane foam bonnet and lower crush pad.

Shielding is provided by the GC220 irradiator, which is a welded steel lead-filled device. The GC220 is a lead-filled shielding head mounted on a steel stand. The GC220 shielding head consists of inner and outer steel shells with lead in between. The nominal lead thickness is 10 inches. The GC220 has an irregular shape, however, the base is 60-inches long by 40-inches wide. In its shipping configuration, the GC220 is 58-inches high. The GC220 shielding plug is welded from 304 stainless steel and lead filled. The GC220 drawer is welded from 304 stainless steel and is lead filled.
