      IP2 ; Certified package container

      What is an IP2 container?

      An IP2 container is not defined by its shape but by a regulatory approval. IP2 stands for Industrial Package 2 — a type-2 industrial package. It is a category in the international regulations for the transport of radioactive materials, which classifies packages according to the level of containment they guarantee.

      The IP2 approval corresponds to a specific application: the transport of low-activity radioactive materials. To obtain this classification, the container must prove that it maintains the integrity of its contents under normal transport conditions — handling, vibration, and weather. Its structure is reinforced and tested accordingly.

      This approval restricts it to specialised and closely regulated sectors: the nuclear industry, the medical sector, and certain industrial activities. It transports low-level radioactive waste and materials under regulatory oversight that no standard container can satisfy.

      • IP-2 approval

        The Industrial Package 2 approval classifies the container under international regulations for the transport of radioactive materials. It is this approval, not its shape, that defines the IP2.
      • Enhanced containment

        The structure is reinforced to guarantee the integrity of its contents under normal transport conditions — handling, vibration, and weather. Containment is checked and proven.
      • Low-activity materials

        The approval covers the transport of low-level radioactive waste and materials. The admitted activity level corresponds precisely to the IP2 category of the regulations.
      • Specialist sectors

        The IP2 is reserved for the nuclear, medical, and industrial sectors, under strict regulatory oversight. No standard container can replace it for these applications.

      In detail

      What is a new 20ft IP2 shipping container?

      The 20ft IP2 container is a shipping container certified for the transport of low-level radioactive materials. "IP2" stands for Industrial Package Type 2, a category defined by the IAEA, the International Atomic Energy Agency, safety standard. The "first-trip" designation refers to a new unit, which has made only a single positioning journey before being put up for sale.

      The box is made of decontaminable reinforced steel: its surface can be chemically cleaned between uses. The floor, in steel or resin, resists decontamination solutions. The unit offers 31.8 m³ of usable interior volume for 32,000 kg of payload. It is designed to pass the drop and water-spray tests required by the standard.

      In detail

      Understanding the IP2 classification

      The IAEA SSR-6 standard classifies radioactive packages according to the hazard level of the material transported. Industrial packages IP1, IP2, and IP3 are reserved for low-activity materials, known as LSA, for Low Specific Activity, and for objects with only surface contamination, known as SCO. The IP2 level 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 transport handling without releasing its contents.

      The 20ft IP2 container provides this compliance in a multimodal ISO format: it moves by sea, rail, or road with no transshipment. Its decontaminable steel structure allows residual contamination to be cleaned between trips, in line with French nuclear-site protocols.

      Applications

      Uses of a new 20ft IP2 shipping container

      The 20ft IP2 serves logistics flows in the nuclear sector, from low-activity waste to contaminated equipment.

      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.

      • Nuclear power plants; low-activity waste

        Transport to Andra storage sites, the French national radioactive waste agency.

      • Nuclear decommissioning

        Contaminated power plant equipment, auxiliary tanks, piping, structures, at end of life.

      • Research and nuclear medicine

        Low-level radioactive equipment from laboratories and nuclear medicine departments.

      • Storage and reconditioning sites

        Transport of contaminated drums to sorting and reconditioning sites.

      Highlights

      Why buy a new 20ft IP2 shipping container

      The new 20ft IP2 is a regulated container, approved for transporting low-level radioactive materials. The strengths below explain what the certification and decontaminable design bring to this specialized, tightly controlled use.

      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.

      • IP2 certification per the IAEA SSR-6 standard

        The container is approved for transporting low-level radioactive materials, in accordance with International Atomic Energy Agency regulations.

      • Decontaminable reinforced steel

        The reinforced steel lends itself to chemical cleaning. Any residual contamination is removed between uses, securing rotations.

      • Steel or resin floor

        The floor is impervious to decontamination solutions. It withstands cleaning protocols without absorbing or retaining contaminants.

      • 32,000 kg payload

        Load capacity exceeds that of a standard dry container, despite the box's reinforced structure.

      • Validated drop and spray tests

        The container's strength is verified under rough transport conditions. This validation is what underpins the IP2 approval.

      • ISO 6346 and CSC compliance

        The unit moves through secure multimodal transport, by sea, rail, and road, with no adaptation.

      Applications

      What is the price of a new 20ft IP2 shipping container

      The new 20ft IP2 is an ultra-specialized product in the nuclear sector. Its price reflects the decontaminable reinforced steel and the cost of IP2 certification.

      Four levers drive price variation:

      The factors below explain why the price can vary from one quote to another. They help you read a quote by distinguishing the product price, availability, and delivery costs.

      • Demand for low-activity waste transport

        Andra programs and power plant decommissioning sustain demand.

      • Cost of reinforced steel and certification

        Decontaminable steel and the IP2 tests weigh heavily on the factory price.

      • Maritime logistics pressures

        Supply of IP2 containers remains very limited. This factor helps explain the possible gap between an indicative price and the actual quote.

      • Downstream costs

        Secure road transport and escort per applicable regulations. This factor helps explain the possible gap between an indicative price and the actual quote.
