Design and Testing of the TN-Gemini Packaging

During Kay of 1987, Transnuclear began the design of the TH-Cemini, a packaging to transport contact handled transuranic radioactive waste between generating. processing and storage sites or from these sites to the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant in Carlsbad, HK or other repository. To date, the design and analysis of the packaging has been completed, and a draft Safety Analysis Report has been written for submittal to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Several scale model tests have been performed to provide design verification. Additional testing is ongoing • This paper discusses the design. analysis and testing of the TN-Cemini.
