cask design

[ramakant]

any body there to guide me for the design of the nuclear cask that will withstand at least 9 meter drop on an unyielding surface?
your valuable suggessions are welcome ? kindly inform if any litrature is available in this regard.
thanking in regards.

A 9m test drop requirement is standard for all dry casks used in the USA. Go to the NRC's website and you can find a list of all approved cask manufacturers - they al lmeet the requriements and therefore all meet the 9m drop requirement.

thanks tstead ,
thanks for reply please tell me the link for that web site.

Approved casks are listed in 10CFR72.214.

This reg can be found at:

http://www.nrc.gov/NRC/CFR/PART072/part072-0214.html

It lists the cask manufacturer and cask model.

I have just joined this forum and was browsing around, saw your message. I am currently working for a company who design nuclear casks, and I am specifically invovled with the design of them to withstand hypothetical accident scenarios (building f.e.m. models to simulate accident test scenarios).

Feel free to drop me a line if you have any questions. chris_monk@gns-gnb.de
