Abstract

In this paper, a simplified typical radioactive material transport container model is used to change the thickness of the container insulation layer and the thickness of the heat sink respectively. The finite element method is used to simulate the heat transfer, and a quantitative optimization of the heat transfer performance of the radioactive material transport container is given.
