An estimated 3500 shipping containers will be required over a three year period with a production schedule of 300 units per month starting in July 2003.

The major components of the Model 9975 shipping package consist of a 35-gallon bolted, removable lid drum; two cane fiberboard insulation assemblies, two containment vessels which retain the radioactive material and lead shielding which attenuates radiation originating from the packages payload. Each shipping package component must function as designed for the packaging to meet its intended functional requirements and satisfy regulatory requirements that allows it to be certified to carry radioactive materials. The Model 9975 shipping package containment vessels (the inner Primary Containment Vessel (PCV) and outer Secondary Containment Vessel (SCV)) are designed and fabricated in accordance with Section III, Subsection NB of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (B&PVC), 1992 edition. The Model 9975 shipping package has been tested and complies with Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 71, and is certified under Title 49, Code of Federal Regulations, and Part 173.7(d).

AMPC is currently the only supplier providing the Model 9975 shipping packages to a DOE site. They have an established production capability that has been approved by DOE for compliance with the above requirements necessary for the manufacture of the Model 9975 shipping containers.
