Sandia Laboratories has been requested by ERDA to conduct a series of spent fuel shipping cask accident tests to evaluate the ability of large shipping casks (22.7 x 10 exp 3 to 66.0 x 10 exp 3 kg range) (25 to 75 ton) to maintain integrity under extremely adverse environments. This paper describes the three proposed accident scenarios and the development of an experimental program to measure cask impact parameters. Two railroad equipment and one motor truck accident tests will be conducted. Analytical studies and scale model tests will be performed for each accident test. Engineering measurements will include photometric coverage to show rigid body motion and deformation and measurement of acceleration and strain in the cask and vehicle.
