Drift Collapse Weight and Thermal Loading of TAD and 5-DHLW/DOE SNF Short Co-Disposal Waste Packages
Drift Collapse Weight and Thermal Loading of TAD and 5-DHLW/DOE SNF Short Co-Disposal Waste Packages
The purpose of this calculation is to determine the structural response of the Transportation, Aging, Disposal (TAD) waste package (WP) and the 5-Defense High-Level Radioactive Waste/Department of Energy Spent Nuclear Fuel Short (5-DHLW/DOE SNF Short) co-disposal WP with emplacement pallet (EP) at room temperature and elevated temperatures for the complete drift collapse event sequence. the repository emplacement drift (RED) collapse will impose a pressure load due to the weight of the rubble rock and thermal expansion due to temperature rise as a result of lack of ventilation.
