Computer Code System for Structural Analysis of Radioactive Materials Transport

The integrity requirements for transportat ion and/or storage casks of radioactive materials are defined by Competent Au thor ity(such as domestic regul atory body). Coapliance with the integrity requireaents of casks shall be demonstrate either by exper iments or by analyses. To meet the requireaent many computer codes have been develped by research institutes and private companies. A computer code system CASKET for structural analysis of radioactive mater ial t ransportation and/or storage casks has been developed by Japan Atoaic Energy Research Institute. In order to clarify t he accuracy of 'CASKET, calculation resul ts are compared with experimental results. A part of the CASKET code system has been already reported in PATRAM' 92. The present paper is the sequel of the PATRAM' 92 paper.
