LANL Phase 3 Container Loading in Support of the Fire-Induced Pressure Response and Failure Characterization of PCV/SCV/3013 Containers

The PCV/SCV/3013 Thermal Test Program is intended to determine the pressure response of packaged 3013 containers when exposed to a facility fire in the K-Area Complex (KAC) at the Savannah River Site. The fire tests support the KAC safety basis and must be bounding of the maximum pressure that would result from any 3013 container exposed to a KAC facility fire. The testing program has the following objectives: “To increase understanding of the pressure and temperature conditions at which failure occurs; To determine the allowable moisture for which failure will not occur under specified fire conditions, and; To increase understanding regarding the effects of salts on the pressurization, corrosion, and potential failure of the container.”
