Development of a Transportation Package with a Non-Circular Cross Section Containment Vessel for the Transport of Hazardous Evidence

摘要

The Hazardous Materials Response Unit (HMRU) of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) needs packages for transporting evidence consisting of or contaminated with hazardous materials. These packages must be lightweight, have a large capacity, provide leak-tight containment and be capable of transporting a large variety of hazardous materials. To maximize space efficiency and handling ease, the HMRU requested that a modular package with a containment vessel of non-circular cross-section be developed for their use. This paper details the preliminary development of this package.
