Design of shipping containers for spent fuel from nuclear power reactor requires economic study involving cooling time, shielding materials, and heat transfer to minimize shield fuel weight ratio and thus to save shipping costs; results of such design studies are shown in series of graphs which are based on large scale shipping program; typical example of how to use graphs.
