STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF SHIPPING CONTAINERS FOR RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS. PART I. STUDY OF TRANSPORT OPERATIONS AND CONTAINER CONSTRUCTION
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4721436
A program was undertaken to develop quantitative methods for assessing the structural integrity of shipping containers for radioactive materials during both transport operations and accidents. The forces encountered during normal travel and accidents are analyzed, and the problem of proper rigging (tie-down) is discussed. The construction of existing shipping containers is considered, and the use of fins for increasing the impact resistance is suggested. An experimental program using small-scale models to study the response of containers to impact is outlined. (D.L.C.)
