Experimental verification of computational models for evaluation of safety parameters during spent nuclear fuel transportation

Scientific and Engineering Centre for Nuclear and Radiation Safety (SECNRS) is technical support organization of the Federal Environmental, Industrial and Nuclear Supervision Service of Russia. SECNRS was established aiming to collect and apply new scientific knowledge for scientific and engineering support of nuclear and radiation safety regulation, including analysis and substantiation of criteria and requirements for nuclear and radiation safety. One of the main types of works that correspond with the goals of the SECNRS establishment is the safety assessment of nuclear facilities and activities in the field of nuclear energy. During safety assessment specialists of SECNRS often perform independent evaluation of safety parameters. Present paper focuses on computational models used in SECNRS for independent evaluation of safety parameters spent nuclear fuel (SNF) transportation and its verification.
