In detail
What is a used 20ft IP2 shipping container?
The used 20ft IP2 container is a shipping container certified for the transport of low-level radioactive materials, previously in service and then refurbished. "IP2" stands for Industrial Package Type 2, a category defined by the IAEA, the International Atomic Energy Agency, safety standard. Its purchase price is lower than that of a new first-trip model.
Before resale, the decontaminable reinforced steel box is refurbished at depot and chemically decontaminated. IP2 compliance, drop and water-spray tests, must be requalified before being put back into service. The unit retains 31.8 m³ of usable interior volume and 32,000 kg of payload.
In detail
Understanding the IP2 classification
The IAEA SSR-6 standard classifies radioactive packages according to the hazard level of the material transported. The IP2 level is reserved for low-activity materials, known as LSA, for Low Specific Activity, and for objects with only surface contamination, known as SCO. It requires two tests: a 1.2-meter free fall onto a hard surface, and a water-spray test. These tests verify that the container withstands rough handling in transport.
The reconditioned 20ft IP2 retains this compliance after requalification: the IAEA tests are repeated, chemical decontamination is applied per French nuclear-site protocols, and the floor and seals are inspected or replaced. The ISO format allows multimodal use, sea, rail, road, with no transshipment.
Applications
Uses of a used 20ft IP2 shipping container
The reconditioned IP2 serves logistics flows in the nuclear sector where controlling purchase cost matters most.
The applications below show in which contexts this format is most relevant. Each use case connects the on-site need to the container's concrete benefit.
Highlights
Why buy a used 20ft IP2 shipping container
On an IP2 container, what matters is not cosmetic condition but regulatory compliance; the IP2 approval and decontamination. The strengths below show how reconditioning re-verifies both points and why a requalified used unit remains fully compliant, at a reduced cost.
The strengths below explain what each technical choice brings to the project. They help compare the product with a less specialized alternative or a different condition.
-
Accessible price
The used unit represents a significant saving compared with new, without giving up IP2 compliance; the one thing that defines this container.
-
Box refurbished and decontaminated at depot
The structure is inspected and the box decontaminated before being put back into circulation. The unit is made safe for a new use.
-
IP2 requalification possible
The IAEA SSR-6 tests, drop and spray, are repeated before being put back into service. Compliance for transporting radioactive materials is reattested.
-
Steel or resin floor inspected
The floor is checked and replaced in case of degradation. Its decontaminable surface is restored before delivery.
-
Sustainable approach
Extending the life of an existing IP2 box avoids manufacturing a new unit; a regulated piece of equipment that is costly to produce.
-
Re-validated ISO 6346 and CSC compliance
The plates are re-validated for secure multimodal transport. This reference confirms the container's fitness for regulated transport, handling, or storage.

What is the price of a used 20ft IP2 shipping container
The used 20ft IP2 follows a very limited secondary market. Availability depends on the return-to-service cycles of decontaminated boxes.
