Thermal response of the modified HNPF spent nuclear fuel shipping cask when subjected to a torch fire environment: results of Tests 2, 3, and 4

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5984589

Experimental data on the thermal response of a large spent nuclear fuel shipping cask when subjected to torch fire environments are presented. Measured temperature and pressure histories at several axial, circumferential and radial locations throughout the multilayered cask are presented for three seperate 1/2-hour torch fires and post-test cool-down periods.
