Abstract:

A test bench for low and medium level radioactive waste packaging container was developed on the basis on the regulations for the safe transport of radioactive materials. A series of experiments including the free falling， penetration， stacking， sealing and spay tests were carried out for the test bench of the packaging container. The bench was equipped with an advanced non-contact full-field strain measurement system that can provide the measurement of full-field shape， the displacement data in 3D space for the experiment， and the analysis of the stress strain data. A verification experiment for a 3 m³ container was completed on this beach. The results indicated that the packaging container could meet the requirements of the design and relevant national regulations. The test bench developed in this work can be used for radioactive waste packaging containers. The results also provided the powerful data for the examinations by authority. The development of the test bench can improve the level of the radioactive solid waste container testing， and also provides an identification technical support for relevant manufacturers to develop low and medium level radioactive waste preparation containers or military packaging containers with independent intellectual properties.

Key words: low and medium level radioactive waste, packaging container, test bench
