Type:PATRAM Proceedings
Abstract:
The weight of a spent nuclear fuel concrete storage cask is usually over 100 tons, and thermal testing using a prototype cask is expensive…
Type:PATRAM Proceedings
Abstract:
MMC samples consisting of aluminum and boron carbide were prepared out of sintered powder. In a first step, the sintering behavior of the…

Abstract:
Some spent nuclear fuel transport packages have radial fins to enhance heat removal by natural convection during transport placed in…
Type:PATRAM Proceedings
Abstract:
Before transport or storage of spent fuel by transport/storage cask, it is necessary to dry the cask cavity. Vacuum drying is one of the…
Type:PATRAM Proceedings
Abstract:
The approval of nuclear transport packages requires the demonstration of performance against the regulatory tests. This has typically…
