Long-Term Materials Testing of Transportable Storage Cask Containment and Basket Materials

摘要

A long-term materials evaluation has been initiated at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL) in conjunction with an ongoing spent fuel storage cask demonstration program. The objective of the materials testing program is to provide demonstration baseline and operational information that can be used to help verify appropriate preshipment inspections and/or in-service monitoring requirements. The Transnuclear TN-24P storage cask at INEL, which is loaded with consolidated spent fuel, will provide an actual dry storage test environment. 3 refs., 1 tab. (ERA citation 13:056324)
