The objective of the study was to characterize the level of safety for commercial spent nuclear fuel shipments should they become involved in severe transportation accidents. Researchers evaluated a broad spectrum of severe, historically documented, truck and rail accidents that caused death, injury, or significant property damage and assessed the minimal level of performance that should be achieved by NRC-licensed spent fuel shipping casks. The results indicate that no radiological hazard would be expected in at least 994 of every 1000 severe transportation accidents.
