Calculations of radiological consequences from sabotage of shipping casks for spent fuel and high-level wastes
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:7094587
Radiological consequences of a hypothetical sabotage event which causes a release of radioactive material from a spent fuel cask and a high level waste cask are calculated. The release fractions of volatile fission products in the spent fuel and the solid fission products in both the spent fuel and high level waste are treated as parameters. Assuming a largest credible solids release fraction of one percent, the numbers of health effects are shown to be small and on the same order of magnitude for both spent fuel and high level waste.
