A critical review of the hazards associated with operation of the Isotopes Alpha Handling Facility is presented. The physical facilities, operations, and operating procedures for the plant are de scribed. Analyses were made of the operational hazards and it is shown that the primary and secondary containment features of the facility are adequate to contain the radioactive contamination to the confines of the facility.
Special Form encapsulation has been used at Oak Ridge National Laboratory to ship radioactive solids for the past fifteen years. A family of inexpensive stainless steel containers has been developed and tested to meet the USA Department of Transportation (DOT) and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) regulations concerning radioactive material shipments as Special Form.
