NUHOMS® - MP197 Transport Cask

The NUHOMS®-MP197 cask is an optimized transport design which can be loaded in the spent fuel pool (wet loading) or loaded the canister from the NUHOMS concrete modules at the ISFSI site. With impact limiters attached, the package can be transported within the states or world-wide. The NUHOMS®-MP197 packaging can be used to transport either BWR or PWR canisters. The NUHOMS®-MP197 cask is designed to the ASME B&PV Code (1) and meets the requirements of Section III, Division 3(2) for Transport Packaging. The cask with impact limiters has undergone drop testing to verify the calculated g loadings during the 9m drops. The test showed good correlation with analytical results and demonstrate that the impact limiters stay in place and protect the package and fuel during the hypothetical accidents.
