Temperature tests of the USA/5791/BLF (DOE-AL) shipping container with Auratone Firecode insulation

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5895303
Auratone Firecode insulating material has been selected as an alternative for Firedike in the USA/5790/BLF (DOE-AL) and USA/5791/-BLF (DOE-AL) radioactive materials shipping containers. Steady-state temperature tests were conducted on the 5791 package with Auratone Firecode insulation to generate information for comparison with previous Firedike test results (1). The tests demonstrated that 5791 containers insulated with Auratone Firecode could sustain a steady state heat load of 42 W.
