Impact analysis of the DC-1 shipping container
Containers used by the Department of Energy (DOE) for the transport of radioactive material components, including components and special assemblies, are required to meet certain impact requirements that are demonstrated by experimental testing, analytical modeling, or the combination of both. The Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 49 Section 173.7(d) stipulates that, packages (containers) made by or under direction of the USDOE may be used for the transportation of radioactive materials when evaluated, approved, and certified by the DOE against packaging standards equivalent to those specified in 10 CFR Part 71.1 This paper gives an example of computer analysis of the impact simulation for a typical container in support of experimental testing performed to assure compliance of the container design with Federal Regulations. The paper includes details of the analysis performed and lists the advantages and disadvantages compared with experimental testing.
