Radioactive materials — Packagings — Test for contents leakage and radiation leakage

Matières radioactives — Emballages — Essais d'étanchéité au contenu et d'homogénéité d'atténuation du rayonnement

Abstract / scope

Specifies some methods for prototypes of transport packaging, but may not be considered universally applicable. The leak test ist provided for the containment system of containers and type A packaging for low specific activity liquid or powder sources. The homogeneity test refers to the outer surface of the shielding or the whole packaging. Both methods are inappropriate when the containment system is too large or of a type that they become impracticable.
