      <title>A GENERIC ASSESSMENT OF BARGE TRANSPORTATION OF SPENT NUCLEAR FUEL</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/150327</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This generic study provides data and methodologies to evaluate the transportation of spent reactor fuel to reprocessing plants by barge or barge-rail intermodal/water methods. The probabilities of barge accidents are examined under different conditions and severities to evaluate the radiological consequences including radio-nuclide source term data. The study addresses operational methods, equipment requirements and availability, manpower regulations, radiological impacts, and the economics associated with several different barge routes and barge-rail intermodal mixes. Also included are the estimated radiation doses to public personnel under normal operating conditions. Although the study specifically treats the shipment of fuel from reactors to reprocessing plants, the results are linked to intermodal/water transportation of spent fuel to interim or permanent storage facilities as well.]]></description>

      <title>RADIATION DOSES IN ACCIDENTS AT SEA-TRANSPORTATION OF SPENT FUEL</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/82989</link>
      <description><![CDATA[In order to investigate the consequences of shipping accidents, a release of activity is assumed. This report presents the calculations of individual and collective doses from the two most severe postulated accidents which are given in a special accident analysis. One of the accidents is a ship collision together with fire on-board, the ship is floating after the collision and a certain quantity volatile fission products gives airborne activity. In the other case, it is a fire on-board, the ship will sink and cause a certain leakage to the sea.]]></description>

      <title>SAFETY ASPECTS OF NUCLEAR MERCHANT SHIPS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/46759</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The safety equipment of a nuclear merchant ship is, to a great extent, determined by assumed reactor and ship accidents.  Examples of measures to cope with such accidents and to prevent undue environmental impact from abnormal ship operation are cited.  The discussion is based upon the recent design of the Nuclear Container Ship NCS 80 carried out by the Gesellschaft fuer Kernenergieverwertung in Schiffbau und Schiffahrt mbH (GKSS) and the industrial consortium INTERATOM/BREMER VULKAN.]]></description>

      <title>NUCLEAR MERCHANT SHIPS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/20530</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This study recommendes a strategy for developing U.S.-flag nuclear-powered merchant ships.  It identifies and discusses key problem areas, including comparative economics, safety and environmental quality considerations, and financial incentives and options.  Four major conclusions and four principal recommendations are highlighted in the Summary; and subsidiary conclusions and recommendations appear in the supporting text.  The main text is supported by 7 working papers, included as appendixes: The Future of U.S. Foreign Trade; Costs and Comparative Costs for Nuclear-Powered and Conventionally Powered Ships; The Future Price and Availability of Residual Fuel Oil; Trade Route Alternatives for Nuclear Propulsion Applications; Health, Safety, and Environmental Quality Considerations; Prospects of Unconventional Propulsion for Merchant Marine Applications; and Principal Subsidies Available to U.S.-Flag Ships Engaged in Foregin Trade.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Destructive testing of large ( 14-ton ) uranium hexafluoride shipping containers was performed.  The structural properties of the two types of 14-ton thin-wall cylinders with the 10-ton thin-wall cylinders were compared. The results of all seven drop tests are reported.

      <title>AN IMPROVED SHIPPING CONTAINER FOR FISSILE MATERIAL</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/18</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Based on an ORNL design, an improved shipping container for fissile materials has been developed.  This container has passed the normal and accident tests proposed in the current revision of AEC Safety Standards.  Further, a criticality analysis by the LRL Criticality Safety Advisory Group has established quantitative limits for shipping solid forms of enriched uranium and plutonium according to AEC criteria for Class I, Class II, and Class III categories.  Tests made on simulated quantities of fissile material indicate the degree of internal heat buildup that can be expected in this container. ( auth )]]></description>

      <title>ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS OF NS SAVANNAH OPERATION AT CAMDEN</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/2881</link>
      <description><![CDATA[An environmental analysis of hazards relating to reactor accidents and failures aboard the N.S. Savannah in confined waters is presented.  To ensure that the important or controlling hazards are considered, various possible accidents are first examined.  An evaluation is then given of atmospheric release following the maximum credible accident for typical lapse and inversion conditions.  The various accidents considered include many less serious accidents, all of which could result in the loss of some acitivty to the environment.  Accidents considered include: 1) inadvertent release of gaseous activity, 2) rupture of the double-bottom tanks, 3) spill of the ion-exchange resin, 4) damage to a fuel element during refueling, 5) the maximum credible accident with the ship afloat, 6) the maximum credible accident with the ship sunk, and 7) variations of the maximum credible accident in which the containment vessel is voided.  Collisions at sea are not included in the scope of this report, but the consequences of such an accident may be evaluated by the data presented.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[The maintenance and servicing work to be performed by a N.S. Savannah contractor are described and the associated hazards are evaluated.  The work program is described with detailed step-by-step procedures included for selected typical jobs.  Accidents with significant potential hazard are postulated, and the available safeguards are discussed. Conclusions as to the probability of occurrence and the potential associated hazard are presented for each postulated accident.  Included are descriptions of the contractor organization responsible for carrying out the activities, and of the special facilities and equipment available or being planned.  Working relationships with other participating corporations are not included, since they appear in a related report.]]></description>

      <title>NS SAVANNAH HAZARDS SUMMARY REPORT FOR 1964 SEA TRIALS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/3166</link>
      <description><![CDATA[A hazards summary report for the 1964 sea trials of the N.S. Savannah is presented for a program of operations for dockside and sea operation in and out of Galveston, Texas, in preparation for resumption of the program of port visitations by the Savannah.  The report details the ship condition, proposed program of operations, organization, training, site and hazards analysis, and criteria for operation.  It is concluded that through adherence to detailed written procedures previously proven satisfactory, by compliance with the provisions of the approved technical specifications and other critera, by observance of an approved program and sequence of operations, and through the use of knowledgeable and experienced personnel the proposed program can be performed without undue hazard to the health and safety of the general public.  Personnel resumes are included in the appendix.]]></description>
