  • Radioactive Waste Management Associates Memo
    Radioactive Waste Management Associates Memo To: Bob Halstead From: Marvin Resnikoff Date: 7/18/2013 Re: NUREG-2125 Review Bob: This review began with a review of the historical documents that were omitted by NUREG-2125, but now encompasses a deeper examination of NUREG-2125 and its supporting references. In my opinion, NUREG-2125 and its supporting references cannot support the conclusion that no radioactive material would be released in a severe transportation accident involving a truck cask. This review of NUREG-2125 includes a detailed examination of the GA-4 truck cask proposed for Yucca Mountain. NUREG-2125 does not examine sabotage of a truck or train cask and we also have not discussed it here. We also have not included discussion of the recent train accident in Lac-Megantic, Quebec. As I mentioned in a memo some time ago, something was fishy in the NRC’s choice of which documents were chosen in their history leading to NUREG-2125. Documents that did not fit into their carefully constructed history were omitted. Now in examining NAC-LWT and GA-4, a clearer picture emerges. The documents omitted were by Elder et al1, and Rhyne et al2. The Elder reference showed that a side impact of a reference truck cask into a rigid 1.5 m bridge column at 12.5 mph would lead to an opening of the cask cavity. The Rhyne study had similar results. “Assuming a total steel thickness of 2.75 inches and ignoring the effect of the lead gamma shield, Table 9.3 gives the velocity required for puncture on a given projection.” For a 6 inch diameter projection, the speed given in Table 9.3 is 48.7 ft/sec, or 33 mph.

Trefethen, Jr. Interviews Conducted by Gabrielle Morris in 1990 Copyright fc\ 1991 by The Regents of the University of California Since 1954 the Regional Oral History Office has been interviewing leading participants in or well-placed witnesses to major events in the development of Northern California, the West, and the Nation. Oral history is a modern research technique involving an interviewee and an informed interviewer in spontaneous conversation. The taped record is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The resulting manuscript is typed in final form, indexed, bound with photographs and illustrative materials, and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ************************************ All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Robert B.
