Type-A packages transport significant quantities of radioactive material between facilities and end user sites. FTC designs and fabricates Type-A shipping packages of various sizes, 屏蔽能力, 以及使用的配置, 租赁, 或购买. 
We design and construct all containers in-house to ensure that we meet the highest quality standards. All of our products adhere to international shipping regulations and protect their contents from damage during shipping. Our containers also meet certification requirements such as USADOT Type-A, 和为7A规格封装.
Please 不e that Frontier Technology Type-A shipping containers are 不 与伽马源兼容. Gamma sources require lead containers for shipping and transportation – FTC does 不 fabricate these kind of Type A containers.
什么是a类集装箱?
Radioactive storage and shipping containers made to FTC standards must demonstrate their ability to withstand a series of tests without releasing their contents. Regulations require that the container safeguard its contents from breaches or contamination and maintain sufficient shielding under conditions normally encountered during transportation.
To evaluate our products’ ability to maintain their integrity during normal transport conditions, Type-A shipping containers are subjected to tests such as:
- Water spray for one hour to simulate rainfall of two inches per hour
- Free-fall drop test onto a hard, flat surface to ensure structural integrity
- Compression of at least five times the weight of the package
- Penetration tests that involve dropping a 13-lb., 1.25”-diameter bar vertically onto the package from 3.3英尺高
因为hg0086体育的集装箱是a型的, you can rest assured that our radioactive shipping containers can safely hold their contents through adverse conditions and under a wide variety of possible stresses.
Type-A Radioactive Storage Containers for Hazardous Materials
FTC’s standard shipping packages are suitable for transportation and storage of Special Form sources. Special Form materials are radioactive isotopes that must be enclosed in Type-A radioactive packaging so that they can withstand fires or other threats.
Our Type-A packages provide secure shipping for external radiation levels that do 不 exceed the legal shipping limits of 200 mRem/hour at the container surface or 10 mRem/hour at 1 meter away from these surfaces.
FTC’s radioactive storage containers effectively preserve Cf-252 and other neutron sources (particularly depleted sources). When radioactive materials are depleted of their usefulness, our Type-A packages can help return sources through our complementary 中子源返回程序.
FTC remains deeply committed to the long-term management of radioactive sources. We possess a strong sense of responsibility in ensuring that all sources are provided, 存储, 安全返回. 以这种方式, we hope to play our part in the development of groundbreaking advances in nuclear energy and research.
Effective Shielding Translates to Enhanced Public Safety
We can increase the shielding effectiveness of any of our standard package designs by adding additional, specialized shielding during design and manufacture. We also incorporate specially shielded source holders to add a further layer of protection.
以这种方式, we seek to further preserve the safety of workers and the public at large, allowing citizens to continue to reap the benefits that Cf-252 can bring without exposing them to undue risks in the process.
