Abstract
Elastomeric seals are a frequently favoured method of sealing radioactive material transport (RMT) packages. The sealing technology has been proven for many years in a wide range of industrial applications. The requirements of the RMT package applications, however, are significantly different from those commonly found in other industries. This guide outlines the regulatory performance requirements placed on an RMT package sealing system by the IAEA transport regulations TS-R-l (1996) and then summarises the material, environment and geometrical characteristics of elastomeric seals relevant to RMT applications. Tables list typical material properties for a range of elastomeric materials commonly used in RMT packages.
