The tests showed that the failure was via plastic collapse and that there is a safety factor 3 against loads that may occur from ice-age. The detailed post-test analysis of components revealed that defects could propagate by stable tearing but did not become through-cracks before plastic collapse. }, title = {Pressure Tests of Two KBS-3 Canister Mock-Ups }, url = {}, volume = {}, number = {}, journal = {}, pages = {}, issn = {}, publisher = {Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management company (SKB)}, doi = {} }
