ABSTRACT:
A skid for transporting a nuclear fuel transportation cask. The skid comprises a supporting member having parallel spaced-apart plates. The plates are aligned perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the cask, include a semi-circular trough for mating with the cask, and are connected by longitudinal fins parallel to the longitudinal axis of the cask. The skid also comprises a retaining member including parallel spaced-apart plates. The plates of the retaining member are aligned perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the cask, include a trough for mating with the cask, and are connected by longitudinal fins parallel to the longitudinal axis of the cask. The fins of the supporting member are spaced apart such that when the cask rests in the trough of the supporting member, the fins of the supporting member are aligned with elongate members of the cask neutron radiation shielding material to transfer the load between the cask and the skid.
