Experimental methods of mechanics can be used for verification of lifespan of structures and for assessment their safe operation. For transport of radioactive materials is necessary to use packages that fulfill severe rules declared by laws and regulations. In the paper are given experimental procedures used for verification of safety of packages used for transport of spent nuclear fuel.

Keywords: Regulation of nuclear regulatory authority, demands for transportation of radioactive material, procedures for tests of packages, experimental methods of mechanics
