The purpose of this report is to document the results of a literature review conducted of studies related to the vibration and shock associated with the normal conditions of transport for rail shipments of used nuclear fuel from commercial light-water reactors. As discussed in Adkins (2013), the objective of this report is to determine if adequate data exist to realistically evaluate the impacts of the shock and vibration associated with the normal conditions of transport on commercial light-water reactor used nuclear fuel shipped in current-generation high-capacity rail transportation casks. The literature review concentrated on papers and reports related to the transport of used nuclear fuel, radioactive waste, or other radioactive material, in part because of the weight associated with commercial light-water reactor used nuclear fuel rail transportation casks, which is about 300,000 lb., and because the weight of the transportation cask on a railcar directly affects the magnitude of vibrations and shock imparted to the used nuclear fuel contained in the transportation cask.
