The shipping container shall have an effective shielding factor (lead equivalent) of not less than 4.25 inches, be adequate to shield 5 curies (Cobalt 60) per cubic foot in a total volume of approximately 16 cubic feet, and meet the following radiological requirements: * Detectable radiation less than 10 mR/hr @ 2 meters from the side of the cask * Detectable radiation less than 100 mR/hr on contact with the cask. The bottom and top of the shipping container shall be fabricated from solid steel plate with minimum total thickness of 6 inches. 1.1.3 The shipping container shall be equipped with two removable steel lids. The primary lid shall allow access to the entire interior volume to facilitate loading and unloading the HIC. The secondary lid must have an unobstructed minimum diameter of 29 inches to access the entire surface of the HIC closure pan. 1.1.4 The lifting of the shipping container and lids shall be designed to meet the following requirements: 1.1.4.1 The shipping container shall be designed to be lifted as a unit.
