Abstract
In Japan. the cask-storage method of spent fuel will be licensed in the near future and the related R & D works (part ly of the Japanese Government) have been carried out mainly by CRIEPI. This paper describes the results of research subjects that CRIEPI selected in order to provide reference data for the licensing of the cask-storage method as follows : (1) Temperature Analysis & Tests of Fuel Cladding, (2) Creep Test of Fuel Cladding, (3) Containment Test of Cask Lid Structure, (4) Cask Drop Test. (5) Material Testing of Ductile Cast I ron Cask. (6) Building Collapse & Heavy Objects Drop Accident on to Cask. (7) Cask Toppling by Earthquake.
