The DT-14 is a unique shipping container--it provides a safe containment for shipments of enriched uranium in solid form, in solutions, and as oxides. This container will enable Union Carbide's Y-12 and K-25 Plants in Oak Ridge to eliminate the use of several types of fissile material shipping containers such as: the DOT-SP-5560 solution container, the DOT-SP-5765 shipping container, and the DOT-SP-5463 (Foamglas) container.
