As long as it is possible for packaged units of fissionable materials, each separate package safe in itself, to form critical assembly when units are brought together, hazard of inadvertent criticality will be source of continual concern; shipping sandwich of Cd foil and solid hydrogenous material (wood or polyethylene) is proposed, based on calculations for fictitious nuclear reactor fuel "criticalium," of greater hazard than U-235 or Pu-239; calculated safe dimensions for packaging are summarized in table.
