Abstract
In a cask-storage facility, a cask may be subjected to an impact load as a result of a free drop onto the floor because of cask mishandling. We performed drop tests of casks onto a reinforced concrete (RC) slab representing the floor of a facility as well as simulation analysis [ Kato et al ] . This paper describes the details of the FEM analysis and calculated results and compares them with the drop test results.
