Analysis Technology on the Thick Plate Free Drop Impact of the Cask for Radioactive Material Transport

Article Preview

Abstract:

The package used to transport radioactive materials, which is called by cask, must maintain the structural integrity for the requirements of hypothetical accident conditions, 9m free drop of the thick plate impact. These requirements for the cask design should be verified through test or finite element analysis to confirm the regulatory guide. In this paper, three dimensional impact analysis using ABAQUS/Explicit code under 9m free drop of the thick plate impact condition for the KSC-4 cask is performed. As the results, maximum stress intensity on each part of the cask and deformation shape of the cask is calculated and the structural intensity of the cask is evaluated by NRC Regulatory Guides.
