Method and assembly for containing a hazardous object

Abstract

A containment assembly comprises a first enclosure comprising a cavity for receiving a hazardous object. The first enclosure is configured for containing an explosive event of the hazardous object. A second enclosure comprises a gas impermeable layer, an inner volume, and an air-tight closure. The second enclosure is configured for receiving and containing a gas byproduct of the explosive event from the first enclosure. A gas permeable barrier is disposed between the cavity of the first enclosure and the inner volume of the second enclosure. A smart insulation arrangement may be implemented on the lower side of the first enclosure to allow the event to happen and to cool down over a longer period of time without exceeding maximum allowable temperatures on the outside of the second enclosure. This permits the flight or journey to continue.
