Surrogate fuel assembly multi-axis shaker tests to simulate normal conditions of rail and truck transport

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/1431295· OSTI ID:1431295
This report describes the third set of tests (the “DCLa shaker tests”) of an instrumented surrogate PWR fuel assembly. The purpose of this set of tests was to measure strains and accelerations on Zircaloy-4 fuel rods when the PWR assembly was subjected to rail and truck loadings simulating normal conditions of transport when affixed to a multi-axis shaker. This is the first set of tests of the assembly simulating rail normal conditions of transport.
