A full-scale testing program involving impact tests of spent-nuclear-fuel shipping systems is described. The program is being conducted by Sandia Laboratories for the Environmental Control Technology Division of the U.S. Energy Research and Development Administration. The paper describes the analytical and scale modeling techniques being employed to predict the response of the full-scale system in the very severe impact tests. The analytical techniques include lumped parameter modeling of the vehicle and cask system and finite modeling of isolated shipping casks. Some preliminary results from the mathematical analyses and scale model tests demonstrate close agreement between these two techniques. Scale models of the systems are also described and some results presented. (ERA citation 04:004092)
