Abstract: In order to ensure that the surveillance specimens of Tianwan Nuclear Power Station were transported safely, a combination of design and verification test methods was used to develop a set of transportation container components. The design work of the transportation container components included shielding calculation, structural design, and mechanics assessment. The safety of the transportation and the reliability of the onsite operation were verified by carrying out the safety verification test and field operation test. The results show that the transportation container components meet the requirements of GB 11806—2004. At present, the monitoring transportation container components for surveillance specimens have successfully completed their first set of tasks of transporting surveillance specimens.
