Safety verification tests of low and intermediate level radioactive solid waste drum

Abstract

Steel drums or boxes are used to transport, store, and dispose of low- and intermediate-level waste. According to relevant standards, before the solid waste container design is finalized, a series of type tests should be performed, including leakage test, water spray test, stacking test, penetration test, free-drop test, etc. This article focuses on the acceptance test and test methods for the LID- II b type waste drum finalization test. The tests in accordance with the standard requirements are the first time reported in China. It found the inherent design defects, and had high guiding significance to improve design and test verification operation.
