Thermal tests of a CP5.2 packaging system: Prototype and experimental test description

摘要

Managing radioactive waste must be carried out within a strict framework and with a constant requirement to protect human beings and the environment. A safety management of the radioactive material or waste (RAM or RW) unavoidably involves transportation activities by using robust safe and reliable packaging system. The integrity is a crucial aspect in the design of these systems; to certify it packages should demonstrate to withstand loads, that could occur under normal and accident conditions, and to meet the safety requirements in terms of performances of containment and radiation protection, like the IAEA ones.
