Abstract:
Regulations on radioactive material transport in China were introduced. Test facilities and data acquiring instruments for radioactive material package in China Institute for Radiation Protection were also introduced in this paper, which were used in drop test and thermal test. Test facilities were constructed according to the requirements of IAEA’s “Regulations for the Safe Transport of Radioactive Material”(TS-R-1) and Chinese “Regulations for the Safe Transport of Radioactive Material”(GB 11806—2004). Drop test facilities were used in free drop test, penetration test, mechanical test (free drop testⅠ, free drop test Ⅱ and free drop test Ⅲ) of type A and type B packages weighing less than thirteen tons. Thermal test of type B packages can be carried out in the thermal test facilities. Certification tests of type FCo70-YQ package, type 30A-HB-01 package, type SY-I package and type XAYT-I package according to regulations were done using these facilities.
