Abstract

The work aims to design a transport containerfor transporting special forms of radioactive sources for industrial irradiation and verify the security of the transport container through experiments. According to the provisions of the B(U) cargo package in the "Regulations for the Safe Transport of Radioactive Materials" and the "Regulations on the Safe Transport of Radioactive Materials", a transport container for transporting special forms of radioactive sources for industrial irradiation was designed, mainly including shielding container, hanging basket, protective cover and transport carrier. The transport container was subject to three drop tests under normal transportation conditions and transport accident conditions. The test caused partial damage to the outer protective cover and insulation layer of the container, but the fire barrier was intact and it did not affect the sealing and shielding functions of the package. The results showed that the transport container met the requirements of the standard. After the drop test of the transport container under normal transport conditions and transport accident conditions, the shielding and sealing functions of the package are still valid. It means that transport containers ensure the safety of the transport of radioactive sources under the specified normal transport conditions and transport accident conditions.
