Safety Analysis Report for Packaging Type LLD-1 Shipping Container
- Atlantic Richfield Hanford Co., Richland, WA (United States)
The LLD-1 shipping container was developed from the Oak Ridge National Laboratory Type M-102 carrying case. Department of Transportation (DOT) Special Permit No. 4960 presently authorizes the shipment of large quantities of fissile radioactive materials in the LLD-1. Such materials shipped by Atlantic Richfield Hanford Company (ARHCO) in the LLD-1 are plutonium metal, plutonium oxide, or americium oxide. These contents are sealed in metal cans, two of which may be placed in the DOT Specification 2R vessel. This vessel consists of a 12-inch length of five-inch, schedule 120 steel pipe with a welded closure at one end. At the other end is a screwed plug closure having an O-ring seal. The 2R vessel is surrounded by felt insulation and located within a secondary enclosure of quarter-inch thick steel having a breech-lock lid sealed with a stainless steel O-ring. This assembly is supported in the center of a tubular birdcage structure measuring 16 inches by 16 inches by 25 inches high overall. To prevent entry of objects into the confines of the birdcage, a sheet metal box of open construction envelops the cage.
