Then you should know that the test procedures are not actually
representative of what can happen in the real world. Ideally, the
foam packaging absorbs almost all of the impact, but a 15' fall onto a
single corner just might overstress the packaging. I wonder if Robert
has pics...

But it may or may not overstress the contents. One of my customers required
a 26' drop (yes 26 feet). That was to simulate the drop from the cargo hold
of and airplane. The package can be damaged, but the radioactive product
could not leak.
