Test data report for quarter scale NuPac 125-B Rail Cask model
This report describes the testing conducted and presents the data obtained by Sandia National Laboratories on a quarter scale model of the NuPac 125-B Rail Cask. Three 30-ft free-fall impact tests and two 40-in. free-fall drops onto a puncture bar were performed. The 30-ft drop tests consisted of one end drop onto the bottom impact limiter, an oblique drop on to the closure-end impact limiter, and a flat drop onto both impact limiters on the exterior of the package. The 40-in. puncture tests were directed at the centers of the side and closure end of the package. The five tests were conducted to verify the structural adequacy of the package for the hypothetical accident conditions specified in 10CFR71 and to define the accident damage as initial conditions for the thermal, shielding, and criticality analyses. 5 refs., 160 figs., 30 tabs.
