1. PRIMARY PURPOSE

The foreign made transport packaging DN30 is intended to carry uranium hexafluoride.

The design of the package loaded with uranium hexafluoride was certified by the competent authority of France by the certificates F/420/B(U)F (Ab), F/420/AF (Ab), F/420/IF (Ab) confirming the compliance of the package design with the requirements of IAEA regulations SSR-6 (Rev.1).

The transportation of the packages is permitted by the rail, automotive and sea transport according to the international trade contracts with foreign firms.

2. TRANSPORT PACKAGE DESIGN

2.1The transport packaging set DN30 includes: - protective overpack DN30; - container 30B.

Appearance of the packaging set is shown in the picture 1, container 30B in the picture 2.

2.2 Protective overpack DN30 (drawing 0023-ZFZ-1000-000, DAHER NUCLEAR TECHNOLOGIES GmbH, Germany) is a welded cylindrical assembly consisting of upper and lower subassemblies.

Each subassembly consists of two shells (inner and outer) made of stainless steel. The space between the shells is filled with a layer of hard fireproof polyisocyanurate foam (PIR) and insulation material. External surfaces of the inner shells are covered with intumescent material. Protective overpack DN30 has a horizontal connection formed by a highly elastic ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) gasket. Upper and lower subassemblies are fastened together by means of six mortise-and-tenon jaws with a locking rod secured by a screw. The upper half overpack is equipped with two lifting lugs used to lift the upper subassembly. There are four feet with holes welded to the lower subassembly to install the overpack in the horizontal position and to tie-down the package on the conveyance.

To lift the package there are two forklift pockets and four lifting lugs welded to the lower subassembly.

The inner surface of the lower subassembly is equipped with the valve protecting device, plug protecting device, and two devices for preventing rotation of the 30B container inside the overpack during transportation.

2.3 The container 30B is installed into protective overpack DN30 and is used to

accommodate radioactive content. The container 30B is fabricated of carbon steel spec. A-516 (ASTM) in compliance with

the requirements of American National Standard ANSI N14.1 and International Standard ISO 7195.

The container 30B is a cylindrical vessel with a volume of 736 l equipped with the valve and plug protected by the “skirts” welded to the vessel.
