Abstract

The objective of this calculation is to determine the structural response of the 5-DHLW/DOE (Defense High Level Waste/Department of Energy) SNF (Spent Nuclear Fuel) Short Co-disposal Waste Package (WP) when subjected (while in the horizontal orientation emplaced in the drift) to a collision by a loaded (with WP) Transport and Emplacement Vehicle (TEV) due to an over-run. The scope of this calculation is limited to reporting the calculation results in terms of maximum total stress intensities (Sis) in the outer corrosion barrier (dCB).
The information regarding the dimensions o f the WP and the short emplacement pallet (EP) used in this calculation are based on the drawings listed as References 2.2.6 to 2.2.8, and 2.2.12 to 2.2.23 respectively. Information regarding the general design and the envelope dimensions ofthe TEV are based on the figures and attachments in Reference 2.2.9. Room temperature (RT, 20 'C (68 °F)) plastic material properties are used. Sensitivity studies in Reference 2.2.11, Section 6 indicate that temperature has negligible effect on the results of this type of calculation.
This calculation is intended for use in support of the preliminary design activities for the license application (LA) design of the WPs and performed by the ThermaVStructural Analysis Group.
