Description

The Central Electricity Generating Board (CEGB) has completed a programme of testing to demonstrate that the flasks used for transport of spent nuclear fuels were able to meet the conditions of actual accidents. This review summarises technical information about a drop test in March 1984, and a full scale train crash in July 1984. (U.K.)
