Abstract
The video tape contains the pictures of the demonstration test of a shipping cask for high bumup spent fuels by CRIEPI that is a part of tests under the sponsorship of Science and Technology Agency of Japan. These tests of full scale packaging( electric heaters only were simulated by actual spent fuels) carried out, in order to demonstrate integrity of the casks under a series of the IAEA transport regulations,and to confirm the test method. The results of these tests are of some help for the person in charge of actual designs and the public acceptance.
