These containers are specified in ISO 7195 "Packaging of Uranium Hexafluoride (UF 6 ) for Transport” or in ANSI N14.1 "Uranium Hexafluoride - Packaging for Transport”. During transport, these containers must meet the requirements of TS-R-1 "Regulations for the Steel containers for uranium hexafluoride with an enrichment of more than 1% Uranium-235 uranium-235 in uranium are enclosed in a protective container during transport in order to ensure compliance with the requirements of International Transport Safety Steel containers, protective containers and the contents of uranium hexafluoride constitute a package within the meaning of the regulations.

  • the empty protective packaging is delivered bolted to flatracks at the suppliers of cylinders filled with uranium hexafluoride. There, preferably only the upper half shells are removed, the lower half shells loaded with the cylinders and the upper half shells reassembled.
  • the lower half shells remain firmly mounted on the flatracks. Due to the dimensions, the distances between the individual half-shells are limited to a few cm.
  • a classic locking system consists of screw and nut. This has been used for decades for the specified purpose. At the top and bottom shell each more devices are attached to the outside, which are braced against each other by a respective bolt with nut.

  • the closure blocks the interaction between the holes passing through the comb-like structure and the bolt, and the groove-like recesses receiving the head portions of the bolt, can be grossly tolerated without detriment to the function. As a result, a low-maintenance operation is guaranteed.
  • the fixing so the screw that performs the function of a locking screw, must be tightened only with low torque because the essential closure function is provided by the connection between the comb-shaped structure and the bolt.
  • the closure device can be handled by a person due to the construction according to the invention.
  • the locking screw can be tightened and loosened by means of a simple hand tool.
  • the bolt itself can be pulled out or inserted manually.
  • a coded screw head of the securing screw prevents opening of the closure device by persons who have no access to the coded tool.
  • An arrangement for the transport of preferably uranium hexafluoride of the type mentioned above is characterized in that the bolt element has a head with at least one receiving recess extending transversely to the longitudinal axis of the bolt element, that at least one of the components has a passage opening, the bolt passing through the comb-like sections the at least one receiving recess is aligned, and that, when the closure device is locked, an element is fixed in the passage opening and extends in regions in the receiving recess.
