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 package made by Dow and revised by DuPont, the Rocky Flats Model 1518 (DOT-SPEC 6M) container, and the Nuclear Containers, Inc., Modified FL-10 Container modified to 55-gallon drum size. The tests included impact, penetration, static crush, fire resistance, and water resistance.
