This report presents methods for protecting against brittle fracture spent-fuel shipping containers made from ferritic-steel forgings greater than four in. thick. Both fracture arrest and fracture initiation criteria were examined as bases for establishing requirements for the design and selection of materials for shipping containers. This report also includes a discussion of the brittle-fracture sensitivity of the containers to various processes used in container fabrication. 19 figures, 3 tables. (ERA citation 08:021356)
