Publication InformationManuscript Completed: July 2002 Prepared by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory R.W. Parkhill, NRC Project Manager Prepared for AbstractThe U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (USNRC) contracted with the Packaging Review Group (PRG) at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) to conduct a single, 9-m (30-ft) shallow-angle drop test on the Combustion Engineering ABB-2901 drum-type shipping package. The purpose of the test was to determine if bolted-ring drum closures could fail during shallow-angle drops. The single test clearly demonstrated the vulnerability of the bolted-ring drum closure to shallow-angle drops—the test package’s drum closure was easily and totally separated from the drum package. This report illustrates test preparation, setup and test runs, and includes excerpts from the video record showing damage to the component parts. The summary and findings section offers significant findings of this test program. Appendix A is the complete test plan written prior to the test date. |
