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Bob Halstead From: Marvin Resnikoff Date: 7/18/2013 Re: NUREG-2125 Review Bob: This review began with a review of the historical documents that were omitted by NUREG-2125, but now encompasses a deeper examination of NUREG-2125 and its supporting references.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. -
