Sandia National Laboratories participated in a study to define the shock environments to which large, fissile material shipping containers may be exposed during rail-coupling operations. Tests were conducted using impact velocities up to 17.98 km/h (11.17 mph). The cargo on the rail cars consisted of a 36-tonne (40-ton) cask mounted on a skid or a 64-tonne (70-ton) cask. The rail cars were equipped with either standard draft gear, hydraulic end-of-car draft gear, or a sliding center sill cushion underframe. The maximum peak acceleration and its pulse duration were determined for the longitudinal, transverse, and vertical axes of the two casks.
