The purpose of the test series was to evaluate the leak tightness of typical plutonium oxide shipping containers when subjected to the same test requirements to which the FAA subjects their flight recorders. The containers chosen for evaluation were the LLD-1, the Rocky Flats Model 1518 (DOT-SPEC6M) and an FL-10 modified to 55-gal drum size. The tests included impact, penetration, static crush, fire protection, and water protection. (ERA citation 01:020379)
