OSTI ID:6847500
A large drop test facility has been constructed at the Tower Shielding Facility (TSF) at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. A 670- metric ton impact pad was constructed of reinforced concrete and armor plate and located between two 96-m-tall towers of the TSF. The towers, with heavy-duty hoisting equipment attached at their tops, are 39 m apart and are capable of lifting and dropping casks from heights of 60 m. Casks weighing 100 metric tons can be tested at 9 m, whereas lesser weight casks can be handled at greater heights. The design, construction, and operating capability of this facility are desccribed.
