Final report on shipping-cask sabotage source-term investigation
A need existed to estimate the source term resulting from a sabotage attack on a spent nuclear fuel shipping cask. An experimental program sponsored by the US NRC and conducted at Battelle's Columbus Laboratories was designed to meet that need. In the program a precision shaped charge was fired through a subscale model cask loaded with segments of spent PWR fuel rods and the radioactive material released was analyzed. This report describes these experiments and presents their results.
