A series of tests involving spent-nuclear-fuel shipping systems will be conducted. Large shipping casks in the 20,000 to 70,000-kg range will be included in the following full-scale tests: (1) runaway tractor-trailer crash into a solid concrete barrier while carrying a shipping cask; (2) high-speed locomotive grade-crossing impact with a truck carrying a shipping cask; and (3) high-speed derailment, collision, and fire involving a special railcar and shipping cask. The hardware and testing procedures for each of the tests are described. The analysis conducted in advance of the tests addresses the modeling technique used and a description of the scale-model tests. Analytical modeling being done before running the full-scale tests is also described. (ERA citation 02:001288)
