Cask drop onto reinforced concrete slab during cask handling in storage facility
- Central Research Inst. of Electric Power Industry, Abiko, Chiba (Japan)
The authors conducted the cask drop tests on to the reinforced concrete pad representing the floor of the storage facility in order to confirm the integrity of casks subjected to impact load caused by cask mishandling drop which is one of the technical issues to be considered in the safety analysis for cask and storage house. Test results show that the cask integrity was maintained structurally and the leak tightness was maintained even under impact load due to free drop caused by mishandling of cask. Also, the authors conducted simulation analysis using the concrete analysis code which was developed at their laboratory and confirmed its applicability to impact due to cask drop onto reinforced concrete pad.
