Smash Hit! Magnox Lesson for Today (Tso C.-F., D. Vince, and C. Young, 2008)
A retrospective report reviewing the UK Central Energy Generating Board’s full-scale cask testing program and lenses the findings to current (2008) activities.
The Central Electricity Generating Board Flask Test Project (CEGB, 1986)
A report by the UK Central Electricity Generating Board describing their full-scale regulatory testing initiative. This testing work included both theoretical analysis and physical testing of a Magnox package, which is not used in the US.
A Study and Full-Scale Test of a High-Velocity Grade-Crossing Simulated Accident of a Locomotive and a Nuclear Spent Fuel Shipping Cask (Sandia National Labs, 1983)
A report by Sandia National Labs detailing the mathematical analysis, scale- and full-scale model testing of a railcar-mounted spent nuclear fuel cask when struck by a locomotive at speed in a hypothetical grade-crossing collision.
Analysis, Scale Modeling, and Full-Scale Test of a Railcar and Spent Nuclear Fuel Shipping Cask in a High-Velocity Impact Against a Rigid Barrier (Sandia National Labs, 1981)
A report by Sandia National Labs detailing the mathematical analysis, scale- and full-scale model testing of a railcar-mounted spent nuclear fuel cask when involved in a collision with a rigid barrier.
Crash Testing of Nuclear Fuel Shipping Containers (Sandia National Labs, 1978)
The report by Sandia National Labs associated with a presentation given at the 1978 National Academy of Science’s Transportation Research Board Annual Meeting. It details mathematical analysis, scale- and full-scale model testing related to testing the outcomes of spent fuel transportation casks involved in a crash.
Analysis, Scale Modeling, and Full Scale Tests of a Truck Spent Nuclear Fuel Shipping System in High Velocity Impacts Against A Rigid Barrier (Sandia National Labs, 1977)
A report by Sandia National Labs detailing the mathematical analysis, scale- and full-scale model testing of a truck-mounted spent nuclear fuel cask when involved in a collision with a rigid barrier.
Air Drop Test of Shielded Radioactive Material Containers (Sandia National Labs, 1975)
A short report by Sandia National Labs detailing the air drop test conducted to subject a spent fuel cask to beyond-normal accident conditions. (Note that the visual quality of this report is difficult to read).
Ensa – Nuclear Spent Fuel Cask Drop Test 1
A compilation of footage clips of a series of 2010 spent fuel cask drop tests.
Drop testing of CONSTOR® V/TC and MHI Cask at BAM
A short video by the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission showing footage of a typical cask drop test.
That Time British Rail Slammed a Train into a Nuclear Flask
A video by the channel History in the Dark about the management of spent nuclear fuel in the context of the 1984 British cask impact test, Operation Smash Hit.
