Cylindrical casks made of ductile cast iron are used for transport, interim storage and final disposal of radioactive waste in Germany. A basic design criterion is the ability to withstand a horizontal drop without impact Binders onto a foundation representative for the real ground of a storage facility. The increasing use of more cost-effective material compositions requires optimized cask geometries to reduce stresses and strains in the cask structure. For example, a non-uniform wall thickness was introduced to reduce maximum wall bending stresses. As a result, the load characteristics changed from line load to point load at bottom and lid side under horizontal drop fest conditions. Hereby, the position of highest stress inside the structure has shifted significantly. This was the reason for a systematic investigation of effects caused by small design changes or small variations of fest conditions. It led to a better understanding of the positions of high local stresses, their time history and maximum value for cylindrical casks under horizontal drop test conditions. Hence, the paper presents the lessons learnt from modeling and simulating such scenarios considering an impact without limiters onto a realistic target.
Sicherheitsbewertung von Lagerbehältern bei Auslaufen einer befristeten Zwischenlagergenehmigung
(2013)
Bei der sicherheitstechnischen Begutachtung der behälterspezifischen Aspekte nach Ablauf einer Zwischenlagergenehmigung ist entsprechend einer Neubeantragung zu verfahren. Die Sicherheitsbewertung erfolgt nach dem aktuellen Stand von Wissenschaft und Technik bei Berücksichtigung der zur Behälterbauart bereits vorliegenden Sicherheitsnachweise und Begutachtungsergebnisse sowie der physikalischen und chemischen Alterungseinflüsse der bisherigen Zwischenlagerung. Am Beispiel einer beantragten weiteren Zwischenlagerung nach Auslaufen einer auf 20 Jahre befristeten Genehmigung und dem notwendigen Behältertransport zu einem neuen Zwischenlager werden Erfahrungen bzgl. der durchgeführten Sicherheitsbewertung zur Erfüllung der Technischen Annahmebedingungen des neuen Behälterlagers dargestellt.
An extensive series of large deformation crushing tests with spruce wood specimens was conducted. Material orientation, lateral constraint and loading rate were varied. Regarding material orientation, a reduction in the softening effect and the general force level was observed with a higher fiber-load angle. A comparison with characteristics gained by application of Hankinson's formula showed discrepancies in compression strength and the beginning of the hardening effect. Lateral constraint of the specimens caused a multiaxial stress state in the specimens, which was quantified with the applied measuring method. Further, a higher force level compared to specimens without lateral constraint and significant hardening effect at large deformations resulted. Thus, the influence of a multiaxial stress state on the force level could be determined. An increase in the loading rate led to higher force levels at any displacement value and material orientation.
Finite element analysis (FEA) has been carried out for investigation of damping concrete under different impact loading conditions with a built-in material model and damage criteria available in FEA code ABAQUS.
At first, all parameters for the selected material model had been derived from compression Tests of cubic specimens. After that, a validation was carried out with different static and dynamic penetration tests. Finally, a 5 meter real drop test with a 23 Mg cylindrical cask could successfully be simulated.
