Development of NUPAC 140B 100 ton rail/barge cask
The 140-B Cask Ancillary Equipment includes all cask-related hardware necessary for a complete transportation package and for handling of the cask at shipping and receiving facilities. The transportation package equipment includes the cask tiedown system, the railcar and the sunshield/personnel barrier. The cask handling systems include both single and dual load path cask lifting fixtures, a cask uprighting system, an intermodal transfer system, and the cask drain and fill system. This document describes the individual systems in terms of their purpose, their function, and their mechanical features. Structural analyses are provided for the cask lifting and tiedown devices. The cask ancillary equipment will also include special tools and equipment such as seal surface protection device, special torque wrenches, leak test equipment, etc., for handling the cask at a reactor site. Although final design work remains to be completed, the ancillary equipment design information presented in this document ensures that the 140-B cask transportation package will meet or exceed all structural, functional, and operational requirements, within the specified gross vehicle weight limit. 18 figs.
