Abstract
For the use of cast iron with spherical graphite for heavey-sectioned casks for transportaton and storage of radioactive materials a complete failure assessment including fracture mechanical analysis is necessary. The extension of the existing code with respect to dynamic loading takes account new developments to extend the field of applications.
