The Transportation Technology Center at Sandia National Laboratories has taken the lead in the development of the TRansUranic PACkage Transporter I (TRUPACT-I) for transporting contact-handled transuranic waste. TRUPACT-I is a Type B package designed for transport by truck and rail. One of the regulatory requirements of a Type B package is that it survive a drop onto a 15.2-cm-dia punch. This paper discusses the development of the puncture resistant panels used in TRUPACT-I. Concepts tested ranged from monolithic steel plates to laminated Kevlar fabric bonded to a steel backing plate. The TRUPACT-I wall design incorporated the laminated Kevlar and stainless steel puncture panel.
