The Sandia National Laboratories Transportation Technology Center (SNL/TTC) provides technical management and support for programs which span a broad range of technical problems related to the transport of nuclear materials. As part of this program, SNL has obtained data on the shock and vibration experienced by large shipping casks during normal transport. The data were obtained by: (1) extracting, reviewing, and reducing the shock and vibration environment definitions on file in the DOE/DOD and DOE Transportation Data Banks;( 2) determining the best estimates of the environments for large shipping containers on trucks and railroad cars; (3) defining and conducting tests to obtain any additional data required; and (4) conducting dynamic analyses of the shock environment experienced by cargo during rail switching and coupling to identify the dependence of the shock environment on heavy cargo weights and on shock attenuation couplers.
