REVISS transport containers for road, sea and air transportation of sealed radiation sources are subject to the highest level of design control, regulated by the International Atomic Energy Authority (IAEA) and the UK Department for Transport (DfT). They are designed, fabricated, operated and maintained in compliance with the REVISS ISO9001:2008 Quality System. Container Hire
REVISS containers are only available to trained personnel for hire. Training can be provided by REVISS engineering personnel either on-site at the customer facility or at the UK Shipping Depot. Costs vary depending upon travel expenditure. Rental costs are based on a weekly rate from the date of dispatch to the date of delivery back at the UK Shipping Depot. Light Weight and Compact Containers
The innovative design of REVISS 3300A and 3750A flasks makes them lighter and more compact than other commonly used flasks, without sacrificing load capacity. They are fully approved as Type B(U) under the IAEA Regulations for the Safe Transport of Radioactive Materials (TS-R-1, 2005). They are designed for unloading submerged in the pool of wet-storage plants and are especially well suited to plants with limited access space. They are used typically to transport RSL2089 Co-60 sources, described in detail in Data Sheet QS250i3. They are also licensed for the transportation of Cs-137 in compatible IAEA special form capsules see Data Sheet QS270i3. |

Transportation of Non-Special Form Sources
For the past 10 years, transportation of non-special-form sources has generally only been possible by obtaining specific approval for the transport operation from the Competent Authorities in the country or countries involved. This is a process that can take up to 6 months to complete; it requires multilateral approval for international transportation, which is sometimes simply not achievable. REVISS has recently invested in a fleet of new containers, 3962A, licensed to carry non-special form material internationally. This 8.5 tonne container bolsters REVISS's commitment to source lifetime management by facilitating the routine transportation of both raw material and sources that are past their recomended working life. New Container for Transportation of RSL1800 Sources
A new container, the 3939A, for dry plant source installation and unload is now available. Although designed for interface with dry plants this new container is fully waterproofed and may be used equally efficiently in wet plants to transport either the large RSL1800 sources or the smaller RSL2089 or equivalent source designs. It is also licensed to carry non-special-form sealed sources, such as sources that are outside their recommended working life.
