Containers will be stress-relieved prior to use.<br />

Figure 22.1-1: Elemental Mercury Container, 1-Tonne Pig<br />

In the unlikely event that a pig containing elemental mercury arrives at the facility and has been<br />

damaged or punctured (i.e., damaged to the extent that a leak has occurred or is likely to occur),<br />

elemental mercury will not be poured into a new container, but instead will be placed directly<br />

into a specialized carbon steel container (Figure 22.1-2). The specialized carbon steel container<br />

(which at this point would contain the damaged mercury pig) will then be transported by forklift<br />

directly to the retort and retorted. As soon as the damaged mercury pig is securely in the<br />

dedicated container, the appropriate spill response actions will be carried out, if necessary.<br />
