Abstract
Containers for sealing and shielding radioactive fluid are disclosed. Methods of manufacturing such containers are also disclosed. The container is arranged to maintain a fluid tight seal to contain radioactive fluid when subjected to environmental forces, while also permitting a user to manually remove the cap from the container body when desired. In some embodiments, the container includes a container body with an inner chamber, along with an associated cap. The cap forms a fluid tight seal with the body by way of an interference fit between a sealing element and a burnished abutment surface.
