The use of sealed intermodal containers for packagings for LSA and SCO
- Croft, Inc., Los Alamos, NM (United States)
The U.S. Department of Transportation regulations for packagings and the transport of low-level radioactive waste have been revised; the revised regulations were published in Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations (49 CFR) in 1995 and came into force April 1, 1996. These regulations introduce the requirements of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Safety Series 6 1985 regulations, including the revised provisions for low specific activity (LSA) and surface-contaminated objects (SCO) and the associated industrial packaging IP-1, IP-2, and IP-3. These regulations also include special provisions allowing intermodal containers (ISO freight containers) to be used as the basis for IP-2 or IP-3 packaging, providing they meet certain requirements.
