Section: claims

1. An apparatus for nuclear materials management, comprising:a container base, a container lid, and a rubber-like seal; anda pair of latches holding the container lid, whereinthe pair of latches are tack welded on the container base at or about 120 degrees apart from each other, anda distance between each of the latches and the container lid is dependent on a gasket compression, the gasket compression being is ˜20 percent. 2. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising:a handle on the container lid being composed of a ⅛″ diameter 316L stainless steel bar, bent in four places at 90°. 3. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein the handle is assembled onto the container lid by fitting ends of the handle into stainless steel housings,the stainless steel housings are tacked welded onto the container lid. 4. The apparatus of claim 3, further comprising:a housing for the handle is hollow, allowing the handle to rotate freely along an axis of the handle. 5. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising:buttress threads configured to handle extreme axial pulse loading or burst in the axial direction, whereina first side of the buttress threads is perpendicular to an axis while a flank angle is slanted at 45°, equating to a longer thread base for increased shear strength on the buttress threads. 6. The apparatus of claim 5, wherein the buttress thread is further configured to provide relief of pressurization, and act as a tortuous path for gas when significant pressure builds within the apparatus, resulting in removal of a filter. 7. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the rubber-like seal provides a seal compensated by creating a knife edge seal at a contact surface between the container lid and a body of the container base, keeping the apparatus watertight. 8. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the container lid is fully machined from an aluminum bronze material, mitigating galling between buttress threads. 9. The apparatus of claim 8, further comprising:a knob machined in assisting with closing the container lid onto a body of the container base. 10. An apparatus for nuclear materials management, comprising:a container base, a container lid, and a rubber-like seal; anda pair of latches holding the container lid, whereinthe pair of latches are tack welded on the container base at or about 120 degrees apart from each other, anda distance between each of the latches and the container lid is dependent on a gasket compression, the gasket compression being ˜20 percent; andbuttress threads configured to handle extreme axial pulse loading or burst in the axial direction, whereina first side of the buttress threads is perpendicular to an axis while a flank angle is slanted at 45°, equating to a longer thread base for increased shear strength on the buttress threads. 11. The apparatus of claim 10, further comprising:a handle on the container lid being composed of a ⅛″ diameter 316L stainless steel bar, bent in four places at 90°. 12. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein the handle is assembled onto the container lid by fitting ends of the handle into stainless steel housings,the stainless steel housings are tacked welded onto the container lid. 13. The apparatus of claim 12, further comprising:a housing for the handle is hollow, allowing the handle 110 to rotate freely along an axis of the handle. 14. The apparatus of claim 13, wherein the buttress thread is configured to provide relief or pressurization, and act as a tortuous path for gas when significant pressure builds within the apparatus, resulting in removal of a filter. 15. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the rubber-like seal provide a seal compensated by a creation of a knife edge seal at a contact surface between the container lid and a body of the container base, keepings the apparatus watertight. 16. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the container lid is fully machined from an aluminum bronze material, mitigating galling between buttress threads. 17. The apparatus of claim 16, further comprising:a knob machined in assisting with closing the lid onto a body of the container base. 18. An apparatus for nuclear materials management, comprising:a container base, a container lid, and a rubber-like seal; anda pair of latches holding the container lid, whereinthe pair of latches are tack welded on the container base at or about 120 degrees apart from each other, anda distance between each of the latches and the container lid is dependent on a gasket compression, the gasket compression being ˜20 percent; anda handle on the container lid being composed of about ⅛″ diameter 316L stainless steel bar, bent in four places at 90°. 19. The apparatus of claim 18, wherein the handle is assembled onto the container lid by fitting ends of the handle into stainless steel housings,the stainless steel housings are tacked welded onto the container lid. 20. The apparatus of claim 19, further comprising:a housing for the handle is hollow, allowing the handle to rotate freely along an axis of the handle.
