Title: Radiological consequences of a postulated drop of a maximally Lloaded FFTF fuel cask

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/264031· OSTI ID:264031

Onsite and site boundary radiological consequences were estimated for a postulated accidental drop of an Interim Storage Cask (ISC) loaded 7 assemblies at the maximum available burnup. The postulated cask drop was assumed to occur from the maximum physically attainable height during crane movement of the cask. The resulting onsite and site boundary doses of 45 mSv and 0.04 mSv are far below the corresponding 1 Sv and 250 mSv risk guidelines for highly unlikely accidents
