Abstract

A radioactive material storage system is claimed for use in the laboratory having a flat base plate with a groove in one surface thereof and a hollow pedestal extending perpendicularly away from the other surface thereof, a sealing gasket in the groove, a cover having a filter therein and an outwardly extending flange which fits over the plate, the groove and the gasket, and a clamp for maintaining the cover and the plate sealed together. The plate and the cover and the clamp cooperate to provide a storage area for radioactive material readily accessible for use or inventory. Wall mounts are provided to prevent accidental formation of critical masses during storage.

Heat storage containers filled with the combination of a eutectic salt and a non-biodegradable filler material

Patent Schoenfelder, J.L.

A heat storage article adapted for prevention of stratification of heat storage materials, such as eutectic salts contained within the container element. The article is comprised of a heavy thermally conductive container with an internal cavity. The internal cavity of the container is substantially completely filled with a combination of a non-biodegradable filler material such as glass fiber insulation and a eutectic salt.
System for loading bulk containers with fluent material from overhead storage bin

Patent Sommer, T.W.; Hill, C.; Beecham, R.S.

A system is described for bulk loading a container through an opening therein with fluent material, including flowable communicated solids and the like, from a storage bin above the container, the system comprising: (a) a discharge conduit having an inlet end and an outlet end, the inlet end of the discharge conduit being connected to the storage bin and the outlet end of the discharge conduit being movable at least vertically; and (b) an exhaust conduit having an inlet end and an outlet end and being adjacent the discharge conduit and associated means for effecting flow of dust through themore »« less
Coupling devices to containers for radioactive material

Patent Jones, E.L.

A container having a neck is engageable at that neck with a hoist termination. The container is supported at the neck by a ball latch in a shielding flask from which it can be lowered through the base of the flask. The termination is provided with a ball latch releasing rod and single-handed raisable and lowerable sleeve which in the raised position allows engagement of the hoist termination and container neck at screw threads but prevents operation of the releasing rod and in the lowered position allows operation of the release rod but prevents disengagement of the hoist termination andmore » container neck.« less
