Abstract

An IP-2 type container is used for the transport of low-level radioactive materials. An IP-2 type metal container was modeled and analyzed for the dropping conditions in normal transport conditions required by NSSC Notice 2014-50, "Regulations on the packaging and transport of radioactive materials." Structural analyses were performed by finite element method, and the acceptability was reviewed by comparing the results with technical standards and maximum allowable stresses of each material. Structural members of the container were modeled as 3D solid elements, and the possible dropping directions were considered in these analyses. Results show that maximum stresses, maximum deformed gaps in the cover, and maximum estimated thickness reduction in structural members were well below the allowable limits; thus, the structural integrity of the container was confirmed.
