Radiological consequences of ship collisions that might occur in U.S. Ports during the shipment of foreign research reactor spent nuclear fuel to the United States in break-bulk freighters

Data and methods for the assessment of the risks associated with the maritime transport of radioactive materials: Results of the SeaRAM program studies. Volume 1 -- Main report

“…Average accelerations were presented in another report for each cargo case using the distributions of ship displacement, collision speed and impact angle presented in Section 6.5.1 above [25]. The largest average accelerations calculated for any set of input parameter values were always less than 1 m/s2 for the no and light cargo cases, and less than 2 d s ' for the medium and heavy cargo cases.…”

Calculation of population doses with RADTRAN for route segments that have an unpopulated near-field region

“…In addition, if the fuel is exposed to air while hot, involatile RuO, could be oxidized to and thus be released and transport as RuO, vapor Values of Fmci for the collision-only scenario were taken from Wilmot (1984). For collisionplus-fire scenario, values of Fmci for Cs and Ru were taken from Sprung et al (1996). Values of Fmci for CRUD were based on estimates of CRUD spallation under accident conditions developed by Sandoval et al (1 99 1).…”
