<strong>CH</strong>-<strong>TRAMPAC</strong> Document Rev. 2, May 2005Table 2.9-28 – 100-Gallon Drum WeightsWeight (pounds)Component Approximate Empty Maximum Gross100-gallon drum 95 1,000<strong>CH</strong>-TRU waste may be directly loaded into a 100-gallon drum. Empty 100-gallon drums usedas dunnage to complete a payload must also meet the specifications presented in this section withthe exception that dunnage containers shall have at least one open vent port (i.e., not filtered orplugged). Table 2.9-29 identifies material content forms authorized for transport within a100-gallon drum. For all material content forms, if the waste consists <strong>of</strong> compacted 55-gallondrums, the drums shall allow for hydrogen gas release through puncture holes in the sides <strong>of</strong> the55-gallon drum corresponding to the drum headspace and/or through obvious failures in drumintegrity due to the compaction process (breach <strong>of</strong> drum). For material content Form Number 4(see Table 2.9-29), if grout is used to encapsulate the waste, the grout formulation (e.g., use <strong>of</strong>gas-permeable grout) and/or application (e.g., grouting around a pipe used as a gas releasepathway) shall allow for hydrogen gas release through or around the grout to preventaccumulation <strong>of</strong> hydrogen inside the encapsulated waste.Table 2.9-29 – 100-Gallon Drum: Material Content Forms Authorized forTransportForm Number1234DescriptionDirect load: Solids, any particle size (e.g., finepowder or inorganic particulates)Direct load: Solids, large particle size (e.g.,sand, concrete, or debris)Direct load: Solids, large objects (e.g., metalcans containing waste)Direct load: Encapsulated solids (e.g., solidparticles or objects surrounded by a layer <strong>of</strong>cementitious grout or similar encapsulant)2.9-30
