A CONTAINER FOR STORING AND SHIPPING RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS

摘要

PURPOSE: A container for storing and transporting radiation materials is provided to transport easily an HTV(Hydrogen Transport Vessel) for storing metal hydride type tritium by forming a protective layer with a ceramic heat insulation layer, a crosslinking polyethylene foam layer, and a polyurethane foam layer. CONSTITUTION: A container for storing and transporting radiation materials includes the first storage vessel(1), the second storage vessel, and a drum vessel. The first storage vessel(1) is used for storing the radiation material such as metal hydride type tritium. The second storage vessel is used for surrounding the first vessel. The drum vessel is used for surrounding the second vessel. The drum vessel is formed with a main body and a drum cover. The container for storing and transporting radiation materials further includes a ceramic heat insulator(11), crosslinking polyethylene foam(12), and polyurethane foam(13).
