A bag for containing nuclear waste material has a venting arrangement having of a plurality of vent holes through the wall of the bag. Each vent hole includes a filter arrangement in which there is a first film mounted on the inside of the bag in alignment with the vent hole and a second film mounted on the outside of the bag aligned with both the vent hole and the first film to define a chamber between the first and second films, the chamber including the vent hole. A HEPA filter media is disposed in the chamber, so that fluid in the chamber passing through apertures in the first and second films also passes through the filter media. A preferred use of the present invention is to vent explosive gasses, such as hydrogen, from bags containing waste material such as nuclear waste material.

1. A bag useful for containing hazardous waste material having an explosive effluent gas associated therewith, the enclosure having a wall with an inside surface and an outside surface and at least one vent hole through the surfaces, the bag comprising:a wall made of elastic resin material selected from the group consisting of polyvinylchloride, polyethylene and polyurethane; a first polyurethane film adhered with an acrylic adhesive to the inside surface of the bag over the vent hole, the first polyurethane film having a first aperture therethrough; a second polyurethane film adhered with an acrylic adhesive to the outside surface of the enclosure over the vent hole, the second polyurethane film having a second aperture therethrough aligned with the first aperture and cooperating with the first polyurethane film to define a chamber therebetween, and a filter media of split polypropylene fibers with a permanent electric charge disposed in the chamber to filter particles and liquid from effluent as the effluent passes therethrough after the effluent enters the first aperture in the first polyurethane film and before the effluent exits through the second aperture in the second polyurethane film.
