Testing of half-scale model waste form canister for the Defense High Level Waste cask
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5127364
The Defense High Level Waste (DHLW) cask is a Type B packaging currently under development by the US Department of Energy. The transport system is designed to meet a legal weight truck limit of 80,000 lb. Type B packagings for transporting radioactive materials are required to maintain containment and shielding after being exposed to hypothetical accident environments. A combination of testing and analysis was used to verify the adequacy of this design. This report describes tests conducted to evaluate the response of half-scale model waste form canisters to 9 m (30 ft) impacts. Two 9 m (30 ft) half-scale model tests were performed at Sandia National Laboratories. This document presents the data from these tests and compares it todata from the DHLW half-scale model cask test program. 8 refs., 25 figs., 4 tabs.
