Elastomeric Seals Guide for Transport Containers

To ensure safe transportation of radioactive material, it is essential that the transport package ‘Containment System’ is capable of preventing the release of radioactive material during routine, normal and accident conditions of transport. Elastomeric seals are a frequently favoured method of sealing radioactive material transport packages, and when used these elastomeric seals form part of this primary ‘Containment System’. This document provides industry good practice on the use of elastomeric seals.
