Abstract
HIGH TEMPERATURE TESTING OF STRUCTURALLY DAMAGED IMP ACT AND PUNCTURE PACKAGE PROTECTION SYSTEMS. Heat transfer through materials which change phase or combust is a complex process. It is important to understand the heat transfer in such materials in order to analyse and predict the survivability of a nuclear material transportation package in a hypothetical thermal accident. Therefore, several high temperature tests were conducted to study the behaviour of some common materials used in such nuclear material transportation packages.
