SAFTAINER® 2895/2899

Package Type

The SAFTAINER^® 2895 and SAFTAINER^® 2899 are designed as an Industrial Package (IP-2) in accordance with the IAEA SSR-6 2018 Regulations for the Safe Transport of Radioactive Material.  The SAFTAINER^® is specifically designed as a transport and disposal container.

Certification

The SAFTAINER^® 2895 and SAFTAINER^® 2899 are designed and tested to ISO standards and CSC approved.  The designs are certified as Industrial Package Type 2 (IP-2) Transport Packagings.

Description

The SAFTAINER^® 2895 and SAFTAINER^® 2899 are designed as large volume, high payload capacity containers for the transport of bulk quantities of radioactive materials.  They are constructed from carbon steel and have a removable lid which is secured and fastened on to the container by a bolted closure.  The internal and external surfaces are treated with a durable paint finish for corrosion protection.

The SAFTAINER^® 2895 is a half-height ISO size (4 ft high), whereas the SAFTAINER^® 2899 is full height (8 ft) design.  Modifications or specific requirements can be accommodated within the design, subject to a design review.  The container can be constructed and supplied in materials other than carbon steel e.g. stainless steel or corrosion resisting mild steel.

Containment

The SAFTAINER^® 2895 and SAFTAINER^® 2899 have a fully seal welded containment boundary.  The removable lid has a double seal with an interspace between the seals; the interspace facilitates leakage testing, after closure, to ensure that the seals achieve the prescribed level of leak tightness.

Approved Contents

Non-fissile solid radioactive materials that qualify as either Low Specific Activity (LSA) or Surface Contaminated Objects (SCO), packaged in such a manner that ensures that the external radiation levels of the package during routine and normal conditions of transport, are within regulatory limits.

Modes of Transport

By road, rail and sea.
