GY-20和GY-40型大容量钴-60运输容器关键技术研究

GY-20和GY-40型大容量钴-60运输容器是为运输工业用钴-60成品源和钴-60棒束而设计的专用设备。由于内容物放射性活度水平高、衰变热大，仅有加拿大、英国、俄罗斯等少数国家具有设计能力。本文综合考虑容器结构、热工、力学、屏蔽等方面的要求，对容器设计和制造过程中的关键技术以及解决方案进行了分析研究。试验验证结果表明，容器的结构设计、包铅边界设计准则的确定和制造过程的质量控制措施合理、有效，能保证容器在各种工况下的屏蔽完整性，容器具有安全运输大容量钴-60源项的能力，其设计满足相关标准和规范要求，可为其他B型货包的设计提供参考。

Key Technology Studies of GY-20 and GY-40 High-Capacity Cobalt-60 Transport Casks

GY-20 and GY-40 high-capacity cobalt-60 transport casks are used to transport cobalt-60 industrial irradiators and cobalt-60 bundles. The radioactive contents have special features of high-activity and high residual heat, so only a few countries such as Canada, England and Russia have design capacity. The key technologies and corresponding solutions were studied for the design and manufacture of the cask taking into account the structural, thermal, mechanics and shield requests. A series of tests prove that the cask structure design, design criteria for lead coating structure and quality control measurements are reasonable and effective, and the cask shield integrity can be ensured for all conditions. The casks have ability to transport high-activity sealed sources safely, and the design of cask satisfies the requirement of design code and standard. It can provide reference for other B type package.
