INTERNAL CONTAINER OF PACKING SET FOR PLUTONIUM DIOXIDE STORAGE AND TRANSPORT

摘要

FIELD: safety facilities for handling radioactive materials.;SUBSTANCE: proposed internal container designed for long-time storage and transport of high-radioactivity materials such as plutonium dioxide has container body closed with sealed cover and specified-volume charging box placed in this body and provided with its respective cover. Container body has cylindrical passage for charging box that mounts additional internal cover provided with gas filtering device and hermetically installed relative to its surface for axial displacement. External cover of container body is provided with shut-off valve accommodating gas filtering device installed therein between inner space of container and valve seat. Such mechanical design of container enables reducing irreparable loss of plutonium during its long-time storage and transport.;EFFECT: enhanced safety and reliability , enlarged functional capabilities of container.;7 cl, 2 dwg
