Shock absorbing effect of the BUSS cask cooling fins

OSTI ID:5567837
The structural response of the Beneficial Uses Shipping System (BUSS) cask to the hypothetical accident puncture test was determined using large deformation finite element analyses. Three orientations were considered to ensure that the most severe orientation was analyzed. These were the end, side, and center-of-gravity over corner puncture of the cask. The side puncture event, which was initially analyzed without the circumferential cooling fins, produced the most severe decelerations in the cask. Subsequent analyses, which included the cooling fins, showed a significant reduction in acceleration and yielding in the cask body. This demonstrates the viability for using cooling fins for the puncture protection of monolithic walled casks.
