Abstract
For transport and storage of vitrified High Level Waste from reprocessing, a new cask design was developed from the German company GNS Gesellschaft für Nuklear-Service mbH, Essen. • BAM as part of the competent authority system was responsible for mechanical safety assessment within the complete evaluation of the Safety Analysis Report. • An extensive drop test program with an instrumented half-scale model was carried out. • Some details are missing because of GNS copyright, only methodical questions are
