Response of radioactive material waste drums to accident environments
Description
Using computer analyses, subscale model tests, and selected full scale tests, it is possible to predict the structural behavior of 218 liter (55 gal) drums resulting from accident environments. This was verified by analyzing and testing DOT-17C drum arrays containing simulated contact-handled transuranic waste (CH-TRU) in simulated accident environments. This paper briefly describes the results of the static and dynamic tests using full scale 17C drums and compares them to the results obtaned from subscale tests and computer analyses. Methods of eliminating or minimizing the damage to the drums are mentioned. More detailed information can be found in Ref. [1]
