Regulatory and performance tests of packages for transporting radioactive materials

This is a summary of nuclear tests conducted in our institute, including (1) fireproof and pressure tests of an enriched UF6 transport package, (2) drop, thermal, and pressure tests of a natural UF6 transport package, (3) drop, thermal, submerge tests of a spent fuel transport cask, and (4) drop, thermal, and submerge tests of a returned high level vitrified waste transport cask. These tests proved that the transport packages meet IAEA's transport requirements with sufficient margins for the safety. (author)
