Abstract
A BU-type container was developed to protect persons, property and the environment from the effects of radiation during the transport of 500 kCi of tritium. Tritium in the form of T2 is immobilized as a solid with a suitable metal to form a solid metal hydride. The container had a cross-linked polyethylene foam in-between a ceramic insulation layer and a polyurethane foam. A prototype shipping package was fabricated and subjected to several tests involving a 9 m free drop test, a 1 m puncture test and a fire test (800°C, 30 min.) in accordance with the Korean regulations. The tritium containment was assured by a helium leakage test not only for a normal condition but also for accident conditions.
