Abstract

A vessel for storing and transporting hazardous substances, like for example Uranium Hexafluoride, includes a body having an internal region that is subdivided into two or more isolated regions. The vessel further includes end members that house ingress and egress valves. A cover assembly is affixed to the vessel to shield the valves from damage due to exposure and / or impact.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the transport and storage of the isotope U with more than five percent by weight and less than twenty percent by weight 235 A pressure vessel enriched with UF6. Background technique [0002] It should be understood that uranium hexafluoride (UF6) may be used for its intended purpose. However, exposure of this substance to the public can be quite dangerous, so tightness needs to be ensured, especially during transport. Currently, UF6 is stored and transported in conventional cylinders like conventional cylinders ANSI N14.1 30B or 30C cylinders. Regulations require that the cartridges be stored during shipment within a prescribed protective shipping package (PSP), which limits the exposure of the container to possible accidents. Potential accidents refer to potential situations in which the PSP could be dropped, exposed to a fire event, submerged in water, or otherwise damaged. The main concern is critical events or t...
