Pages 273-280 | Published online: 19 Jul 2013
 

Abstract

Arrow Construction, Inc., US Department of Energy, and two federal contractors tested the 25.4 cm (10 inch) diameter Arrow-Pak to requirements stipulated by the US Department of Transportation for Specification 7A Type A general packaging. Those organisations also subjected parts of an Arrow-Park to a series of tests designed to measure environmental durability, stability, and integrity of the package over extended periods of time. This paper summarises testing the Arrow-Pak and concludes that the Arrow-Pak is included among the mix of certified transport and disposal packages available to industry and federal government for management of solid, low activity radioactive and mixed radioactive–hazardous wastes.
