STUDY OF STOWAGE OF RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS PACKAGINGS IN ACCIDENTAL CONDITIONS

The study of transport conditions shows that few data are available on accidental conditions. Two types of accidents are selected and defined by calculations and tests. Sizing of stowage is determined for a frontal shock (35 g deceleration), maintaining the packaging on the vehicle, and side shock rupture of the stowage system for a determined stress. Mathematical formulations are developed.
