Description

This paper presents the results of a series of finite element analyses comparing the structural integrity of two shipping casks for transportation of high-level waste (HLW). The objective of this project is to assess the advisability of utilizing ductile iron (DI) for type-B transport cask construction by investigating its structural response under severe loading conditions. This response is compared to that of a stainless steel (SS) cask under comparable loading conditions
