Description

The SAFPAK® 2767T is a reusable packaging design manufactured from stainless steel and brass to give a long service life.   The SAFPAK® 2767T consists of an Outer Container (Design No 2767) which carries a resealable Containment Vessel (CV), Design No 2952, within shock absorbing cork packing.

The SAFPAK® 2767 Outer Container is a pressed stainless steel body and lid with a bayonet action closure. The 2952 CV is a resealable stainless steel containment vessel with a brass screw retaining ring closure and a single O-ring seal.  The radioactive contents are held within in primary containers within the cavity.

Containment / Shielding

The 2952 CV provides shielding (6 mm stainless steel thickness) and the containment system of the package.  In addition, lead pots and packing material can be carried within the 2952 CV to provide additional shielding.
