Abstract: A cylinder for storage and transport of uranium hexafluoride includes a generally tubular main body with a distally arranged end member defining an interior region. An interior tubular member is received in the interior region. A tube end member is attached to an end of the tubular member opposite the end member. First and second chime ends are on respective ends of the main body. First and second chime end members are disposed in the first and second chime ends respectively. The end member, the interior tubular member and the tube end member form a first containment structure. The tubular main body, the first and second chime ends and the first and second chine end members form a second containment structure.

Abstract: An overpack for receiving a steel cylinder, such as a stainless steel cylinder, containing uranium hexafluoride includes a semi-cylindrical top portion having an arcuate main body and opposing first and second semi-circular end members, and includes a semi-cylindrical bottom portion having an arcuate main body and opposing first and second semi-circular end members, with the first end members of the top and bottom portion being aligned, and the second end members of the top and bottom portion being aligned, and the overpack is disposed in a cradle.

Abstract: A vessel for storing and transporting hazardous substances, like for example Uranium Hexafluoride, includes a body having an internal region that is subdivided into two or more isolated regions. The vessel further includes end members that house ingress and egress valves. A cover assembly is affixed to the vessel to shield the valves from damage due to exposure and/or impact.
