Description

The paper describes analyses performed for the Defense High-Level Waste (DHLW) cask design that establish an upper limit of 700 lbf/in2 (1 lbf/in2(g) = 6.895x103 Pa) for the cask maximum normal operating pressure (MNOP). Analyses of the cask with this MNOP as an initial condition show that for both normal and hypothetical accident conditions of transport, the stresses are within allowable values. (author)
