Conference

OSTI ID:7098367
The shipping container is being designed by the Engineering Department of the Du Pont Company as part of a Savannah River Plant program of technical assistance to the ERDA Division of Reactor Development and Demonstration in the area of shipping radioactive materials. Prdliminary ev/sup 1/luation was made for several different designs, including arrangements of two and four assemblies per container. Although some saving in shipping cost could be realized by having more than one assembly per container, consideration of operational difficulties, exposure of personnel to radiation, and risk of damage to an assembly during handling led to selection of a design having one assembly per container.
