Foreword

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards

bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out

through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical

committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International

organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.

ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of

electrotechnical standardization.

The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are

described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the

different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the

editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of

patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of

any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or

on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/ patents).

This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 85, Nuclear energy, Subcommittee SC 5,

Nuclear installations, processes and technologies..

This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 10276:2010), which has been technically

revised. The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:

— The scope is extended to trunnion attachment components (trunnion systems are defined as being

the trunnions and their attachment components);

— The normative references have been updated (IAEA TS-R-1 replaced by IAEA SSR-6) and enlarged

to the IAEA SSG-26 (Appendix IV-1 - Package stowage and retention during transport);

— Quality Assurance is replaced by Management Systems;

— The load cases are to be defined by use of the minimum acceleration factors given in table IV-1 of the

Appendix IV of IAEA SSG-26;

— The calculation methods (analytical and finite element analysis) and the minimum associated

criteria are more precisely detailed;

— The bibliography has been updated and enlarged to the most recent recommendations, guidance

and standards as acceptable by most of the Competent Authorities;

— The structure of the document has been slightly modified to enhance its legibility and understanding.

Introduction

This document has been produced to enable package owners, designers, users and regulatory

organizations to have at their disposal a comprehensive document covering all aspects of trunnion

systems. Experience has been drawn from the extensive knowledge of owners, designers, users

and competent authorities. This document contains the minimum requirements and makes

recommendations covering various aspects of trunnion systems.

Intermediate devices (sometimes referred to as transport frames, supports or cradles) can be used

between the packaging trunnions and the transport conveyance to support and secure the package

during transport; however, the energy-absorbing effects that may be provided by these intermediate

devices are not taken into consideration in this document.

4 Regulatory requirements
4.1 General

In this document, the word “shall” denotes a requirement; the word “should” denotes a recommendation;

and the word “may” denotes permission, i.e. neither a requirement nor a recommendation. Imperative

statements also denote requirements. To conform to this document, all operations shall be performed

in accordance with its requirements, but not necessarily with its recommendations.

The word “can” denotes possibility rather than permission.
4.2 Relevant regulations

The main applicable document is IAEA SSR-6. Other relevant national or international transport

regulations should also be considered to ensure that any differences with the IAEA Transport

Regulations are taken into account.

This document does not relieve the relevant parties of the responsibility for compliance with any

[3]

requirement of the regulations applicable within the nuclear power plants (e.g. KTA 3905 or

[4]
ANSI N 14.6 ).
5 Design
5.1 General

5.1.1 Trunnion systems as part of a package design shall be designed in accordance with IAEA SSR-6

with consideration of IAEA SSG-26, and in particular its Appendix IV.

5.1.2 Trunnion attachment to a packaging may be carried out by welding, bolting, threaded attachment,

interference fitting and bolting, or any combination of these methods. This document applies to these

methods of trunnion attachment; see Figure 1 a), b) and c).

Figure 1 — Examples of trunnions
5.1.3 Trunnions are fitted to the packaging to provide the following:
— a means of tie-down of the package during transport; and/or

— a means of providing lifting, or lifting and tilting, the package (with particular designs of package,

the trunnions are used in tilting the package from horizontal to vertical position and vice-versa).

5.1.4 The designer shall consider how the package is supported during transport and lifting and/or

tilting with respect to the trunnions. For these situations the load distribution for the trunnion system

shall be derived. The designer shall consider the number of trunnions on the package required to fulfil a

particular function (e.g. lifting, tilting, supporting) and the value, the direction of forces that are imposed

on the trunnions and the way they are applied (point of application, width, angle of repartition...). See 5.4

for more details.

The load transferred by the trunnion system to the packaging body needs to be considered but is not

part of this document.

5.1.5 The design of the trunnion system shall be capable of performing for a temperature range as

defined in the IAEA Transport Regulations. In particular, minimum and maximum operating temperatures

due to design heat load and worst case ambient conditions shall be considered. Differential thermal

expansion between the conveyance means and the packaging may add stresses to the trunnion system

unless specific design arrangements are made to avoid those effects.

5.1.6 The designer should ensure that the combination of environment, component materials, bolt

coatings, bolt strength, grade, and tensile stress do not render the trunnion system vulnerable to the

---------------------- Page: 13 ----------------------
oSIST prEN ISO 10276:2021
ISO 10276:2019(E)

effects of stress corrosion cracking (SCC). Where the effects of SCC are not avoided by design, the designer

shall specify a regime of inspection to detect the early effects of SCC and to allow for bolt replacement

before there is damage.

5.1.7 Any trunnion systems shall be so designed that, under normal and accident conditions of

transport, the forces in those trunnion systems shall not impair the ability of the package to meet the

requirements of the IAEA Transport Regulations.

5.1.8 Specific surface finish limits shall be specified by the designer. Smooth surfaces and gradual

changes of section aid decontamination and are also beneficial for fatigue properties. Liquid traps shall

be avoided. Applying sealant or using gaskets can prevent the ingress of liquids.

5.1.9 As far as practicable, ease of decontamination shall be considered in the design of trunnion

systems, particularly with regard to the bolted a
