Abstract: A container for storing intact control rod blades including a cask which has a substantially square elongated portion and axially opposed dual end closures, such that the substantially square elongated portion is capable of receiving a basket containing a plurality of control rod blades, where each of the control rod blades has a cruciform end and a velocity limiter end, so that the cruciform end of one control rod blade rests against the velocity limiter end of an adjacent control rod blade, and where the substantially square elongated portion of the cask is comprised of three layers, an inner layer, a middle layer and an outer layer, with the inner and outer layers made of ASTM A543 Steel.

Abstract: A skin exfoliating tool and kit is provided wherein the tool includes an applicator wand and a drying tray. The wand features a gripping handle, a platform projecting circumferentially outward from the handle and a pliable pad attached to the platform. The wand nests in the drying tray, the latter being formed with a cavity for receiving the pad, the cavity being defined by a floor and an open mouth. The tray has at least one drainage orifice adjacent the floor. The kit incorporates the exfoliating tool in combination with a skin exfoliating composition that is formulated with abrasive particles in a carrier vehicle.

Abstract: A universal modular container for containing, transporting, storing, or disposing of reactor pressure vessel heads (RPVHs) with attached control rod driving mechanisms has several sections that may be handled independently and thus allow easier handling of the container and packaging of the RPVHs. Various ring sections of different lengths may be used, to allow the container to have dimensions that are the best match for enclosing any particular intact reactor pressure vessel head with attached control rod driving mechanisms. The RPVH with attached CRDMs can be placed onto and attached to a bottom plate of the container, items can be removed from the reactor pressure vessel head, and then the ring sections attached to the bottom plate. The container is closed with a top plate, and the complete package is ready to be transported for storage or disposal in accordance with regulations for radioactive materials.
