LANL Phase 3 Test Plan For Container Loading to Support the Fire-Induced Pressure Response and Failure Characterization of PCV/SCV/3013 Containers
- Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), Los Alamos, NM (United States)
Fire testing of 3013 containers loaded with surrogate materials and water will be conducted to determine the response of 3013 containers stored in K-Area Complex (KAC) to a facility fire. Based on the proposal for the test configuration and loading, the objectives of the fire test are as follows: 1. “To increase understanding about the pressure and temperature conditions at which failure occurs; 2. To determine the allowable moisture for which failure will not occur under specified fire conditions, and 3. To increase understanding regarding the effects of salts on the pressurization, corrosion, and potential failure of the container.” Surrogate materials will be prepared at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) and loaded in the 3013 containers. The containers will then be welded at LANL and shipped to Savannah River Site (SRS) for the installation of fittings and leak testing.
