This paper demonstrates exemplarily how numerical and experimental approaches can be combined reasonably in mechanical assessment of package integrity according to the IAEA regulations. The paper also concentrates on the question about how static mechanical approaches can be applied, and what their problems are in relation to dynamic calculation approaches. Under defined impact tests, which represent accident transport conditions, the package has to withstand impact loading, e.g. resulting from a 9 m free drop onto an unyielding target in sequence with a 1 m puncture drop test. Owing to the local character of the interaction between the puncture bar and the cask body, it is possible to develop a dynamic numerical model for the 1 m puncture drop which allows an appropriate simulation of the interaction area. Results from existing experimental drop tests with prototype or small scale cask models can be used for verification and validation of applied analysis codes and models. The link between analysis and experimental drop testing is described exemplarily by considering a regulatory 1 m puncture bar drop test onto the cask body of a recently approved German high level waste transport package. For the 9 m drop test of the package, it is difficult to develop a dynamic numerical model of the package due to the complexity of the interaction between cask body, impact limiters and unyielding target. Dynamic calculations require an extensive verification with experimental results. The simulation of a 9 m drop of a package with impact limiters is thereby often more complex than the simulation of a 1 m puncture drop onto the cask body. A different approximation method can be applied for the consideration of dynamic effects on the impact loading of the package. In a first step, maximum impact force and rigid body deceleration of the cask body during the impact process can be calculated with simplified numerical tools. This rigid body deceleration can subsequently be applied on a verified static numerical model. Dynamic effects, which cannot be covered by the static numerical analysis, have therefore to be considered by using an additional dynamic factor. The paper describes this approach exemplarily for a 9 m horizontal drop of a typical spent fuel cask design.
Ziel dieses Beitrages soll es sein, zum einen das Vorgehen bei der Erlangung einer Anerkennung zur qualitätsgesicherten Herstellung einer Verpackung für prüfpflichtige Versandstücke der zuständigen Behörde im Sinne des ADR Unterabschnittes 1.7.3 'Qualitätssicherung' darzustellen und zum anderen Probleme bei der Umsetzung der rechtsverbindlichen Vorschriften des Gefahrgutrechts aufzuzeigen.
Die Sicherheitsanforderungen, die an Behälter für den Transport radioaktiver Stoffe auf öffentlichen Verkehrswegen gestellt werden, orientieren sich an dem Gefährdungspotenzial des radioaktiven Inhalts. So müssen für den Transport abgebrannter Brennelemente oder hochradioaktiver Abfalle aus nuklearen Anlagen Behälter eingesetzt werden, die auch schweren Unfällen standhalten. Zu ihnen gehören z. B. die CASTOR®-Behälter (Cask for Storage and Transport of Radioactive Material).
