Abstract [en]

Transportation of fresh fuel assemblies requires the utilization of transport casks to ensure the internal radioactive material does not affect the environment. In this work, we introduce an innovative design of a transport cask for the fresh fuel assembly of a Small Module Reactor (SMR). The cask is constituted by two containers, supports and various energy-absorbing structures welded at the outer container. The structural integrity of the transport cask under variant scenarios determined by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and domestic regulations was numerically evaluated. The detailed 3D model of the cask was created, and the simulations were performed via the Finite Element Method (FEM) using commercial software ABAQUS. Simulation results obtained from static and dynamic analyses indicated that the integrity of the designed transport cask can be assured during normal and accident conditions. The most severe damage during the 9 m drop tests was caused by a horizontal oblique condition and this configuration is recommended to be tested in future experiments.
