The Beneficial Uses Shipping System (BUSS) cask is a Type B packaging currently under development at Sandia National Laboratories for the US Department of Energy (DOE). The cask will transport radioactive source capsules (CsCl and SrF2) to facilities such as sewage, food, and medical products irradiators. This paper describes the cask system and the analyses performed to predict the response of the cask in impact, puncture, and fire accident conditions as specified in the regulations. The cask prototype is being fabricated, and activities to obtain a certificate of compliance have been initiated.
