Abstract
Epoxy-resin based neutron shielding material, NS-4-FR, is used for spent fuel transport and/or storage cask. In this paper the outline of thermal aging test performed to evaluate the heating effect oo this neutron shielding material, NS-4-FR, is introduced. The test is oonsisted of two kinds of thermal aging test, one is \"Basic Test\" and the other is \"Block Heating Test\". The former is coopctatively pc:rfonned by ten Japanese Eledrical Power Companies, and the latter is done by GESC and NOF Corporation.
