Two simulations of hypothetical accident conditions defined as drops of the cask from height of 9 meters are described and results are analyzed for purposes of the cask qualification. The main attention is devoted to procedures and methods of evaluation of results. http://pubs.sciepub.com/ajme/1/7/9/ajme-1-7-9.pdf radioactive wastetransportcaskdrop testFinite Element Simulations
