Data Analysis of ENSA/DOE Rail Cask Tests
- Sandia National Lab. (SNL-NM), Albuquerque, NM (United States)
This report describes the results from a series of tests of surrogate pressurized water reactor (PWR) nuclear fuel assemblies in a rail cask during various modes of transportation and cask handling conducted between June and October 2017. The primary purpose of the tests was to measure strain and acceleration on surrogate fuel rods when the assemblies are subjected to normal conditions of transport (NCT) within the Equipos Nucleares, S.A. (ENSA) UNiversal (ENUN) 32P cask. Acceleration on the cask basket, the cask, the cask cradle, and the transport platforms were also measured. A summary of the test details, logistics and operations for performing the tests is included.
