PACKAGE IDENTIFICATION
IDENTIFICATION MARK
The package shall bear the competent authority identification mark "USA/9296/B(U)-96".
PACKAGE DESCRIPTION
The Model 880 series transport package is composed of the four Model Nos. 880 Delta, 880 Elite, 880
Sigma and 880 SC.
Model Nos. 880 Delta, 880 Elite, 880 Sigma consist of a cylindrical stainless steel shell, 1.5 mm thick, two
end plates enclosing a depleted uranium shield and a titanium "S" tube. The gap between the depleted
uranium shield and the shell is filled with polyurethane foam. For transport, the source is secured in the
shielded position by means of a locking assembly attached to the rear end-plate assembly.
Model Nos. 880 Delta, 880 Elite, 880 Sigma can also be equipped with an optional polyethylene jacket for
ease of transport or a "Pipeliner" jacket to facilitate use as an industrial radiography exposure device. The
optional jacket covers the stainless steel shell, provides a handle and a stable base, and is attached to the
shell by screws located outside the shield cavity area. The transport jacket has a handle section that

Packaging
(2) Description
The Model No. 880 series packages are designed for use as radiography exposure
devices (or source changers) and as transport packages for Type B quantities of
radioactive material in special form. The Model No. 880 series packages have four
versions called the 880SC, 880 Delta, 880 Sigma, and the 880 Elite. The 880 Delta
and the 880SC have a maximum capacity of 150 Curies of Iridium-192 or 150 Curies
of Selenium-75, the 880 Sigma has a maximum capacity of 130 Curies of Iridium-192
or 150 Curies of Selenium-75, and the 880 Elite has a maximum capacity of 50
Curies of Iridium-192 or 150 Curies of Selenium-75. The Delta and Sigma versions
are identical and the Elite has a lighter weight depleted uranium shield. The 880SC
version is identical to the Delta version except for a different lock plate assembly for
the front and rear plates. An optional jacket can be placed on the package to
facilitate its use as an industrial radiography exposure device or a transport package.
There are two versions of the jacket.
The 880 Delta, 880 Sigma, and 880 Elite versions of the package, without the jacket,
are cylindrical in shape with a diameter of 5 inches (127 mm) and a length of 13 5/16
inches (338 mm). With the first version of the jacket, the shape of the package is an
extruded triangle 9 inches (229 mm) high, 7 1 / inches (191 mm) wide, and 13 5/16
2
(343 mm) inches long. With the second version of the jacket, the package measures
13 12/ inches (343 mm) long by 6 inches (152 mm) wide by 11.33 inches (288 mm)
tall.

The 880SC version of the package, without the jacket, is cylindrical in shape with a
diameter of 5 inches (127 mm) and a length of 15 14 inches (387 mm). Only one
version of the jacket, Version 1, can be used. With this version, the shape of the
package is an extruded triangle 9 inches (229 mm) high, 7 1/2 inches (191 mm) wide,
and 15 1/4 inches (387 mm) long.
The weight of the Delta and Sigma versions is 46 pounds (21 kg) without the jacket,
52 pounds (24 kg) with version 1 of the jacket and 55 pounds (25 kg) with version 2 of
the jacket. The weight of the Elite version is 37 pounds (17 kg) without the jacket, 42
pounds (19 kg) with version 1 of the jacket, and 45 pounds (20 kg) with version 2 of
the jacket. The weight of the 880SC version is 46 lbs (21 kg) without the jacket and
52 pounds (24 kg) with version 1 of the jacket.
The major components of the packages consist of a welded stainless steel cylindrical
body, a depleted uranium shield, a containment system, and optional jackets. The
Delta, Elite, and Sigma versions have a stainless steel rear plate with a locking
assembly and a stainless steel front plate with a shielded port. The 880SC version
has lock assembly plates and a shipping plug assembly.
The welded cylindrical body consists of a 5 inch (127 mm) diameter, 0.06 inch (1.5
mm) wall tube shell with 0.12 inch (3 mm) end-plates. A U-bracket is welded to each
end-plate and is located on the inside cavity of the shell tube. The depleted uranium
shield is centrally located within the welded body between the end-plate and is
fastened to each U-bracket by a 0.37 inch (9.5 mm) diameter titanium shield pin. A
U-shaped copper spacer fills the gap between the shield and the U-bracket. An S-
shaped titanium source tube is cast into the center of the shield to provide a cavity for
the source wire assembly and shipping plug assembly to travel through during use.
For the Delta, Sigma, and Elite versions, the front and rear plates are attached to the
welded body with four tamperproof screws through rivnuts assembled into end-plates.
The rear plate assembly consists of a source locking mechanism fastened to the rear
plate. The front plate assembly consists of a shielded port mechanism contained
within the front plate, For the 880SC, front and rear locking plate assemblies are
attached to the welded body with four tamperproof screws through rivnuts assembled
into end-plates. These locking assemblies, which are interchangeable, are used to
secure a source wire assembly on one end of the package and a shipping plug
assembly on the opposite end of the package. The locking plate assembly consists
of a locking mechanism, consisting of a keyed plunger lock, fastened to the plate.
The keyed plunger lock can only be engaged when the source wire and shipping plug
assemblies are located in the fully shielded position.
For the 880SC version, a shipping plug assembly is loaded into the other locking
plate assembly on the opposite side of the package. During transport and storage,
this shipping plug assembly provides additional shielding to the package and it is only
removed during radiography operations.
