Type-A Radioactive Liquid Sample Packaging Family

Westinghouse Hanford Company (WHC) has developed two packagings that can be used to ship Type A quantities of radioactive liquids. WHC designed these packagings to take advantage of commercially available items where feasible to reduce the overall packaging cost. The Hedgehog packaging can ship up to one liter of Type A radioactive liquid with no shielding and 15 em of distance between the liquid and the package exterior, or 30 ml of liquid with 3. 8 em of stainless steel shielding and 19 em of distance between the liquid and the package exterior. The One Liter Liquid Shipper can ship up to one liter of Type A radioactive liquid that does not require shielding.
