  Dry cask storage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dry cask storage is a method of storing high-level radioactive waste, such as spent nuclear fuel that has already been cooled in the spent fuel pool for at least one year.
These casks are typically steel cylinders that are either welded or bolted closed.
It is estimated that by 2014, all of the nuclear power plants in the United States will be out of room in their spent fuel pools, most likely requiring the use of temporary storage of some kind.

 Keg Beer | Cask Ale | Cask Conditioned Beers
Cask ale is placed into the cask in it's natural state together with finings such as Irish Moss seaweed or Isinglass which is the swim bladder of fish.
Ideally, cask ale should be served at a cool temperature rather than cold in order to bring out the flavour of the beer.
However, once you have gotten used to cask ale, it is unlikely that you will revert back to drinking keg beer as there is little or no comparison between the two when it comes to taste, aroma and mouthfeel.

 Cask Conditioned Beer ('Real Ale') in the U.S.A.
In many common brands of keg beer, cheap ingredients ('adjuncts') such as rice or maize are mixed with the malt to cut costs, but resulting in a 'light' beer with hardly any aroma or flavour.
This is incorrect, a cask ale is ideally served between 54-56 degrees - cool, but not chilled like keg beers - and should have a noticeable natural carbonation from the secondary fermentation in the cask.
With these, look for relevant wording on the label and a tell-tale layer of yeast sediment on the bottom of the bottle; such beers should not be shaken or tipped upside down prior to pouring, and the last few drops are ideally not poured into the glass.

Dry casks typically consist of a sealed metal cylinder containing the spent fuel enclosed within a metal or concrete outer shell.

For approval of cask designs, the NRC conducts a technical review to ensure the design would be safe and secure for use at a broad range of nuclear power plant site characteristics, consistent with the requirements for a general license.

The most severe condition is the impact of the transport cask with an infinitely rigid plane from a height of 30 feet.
However, the design of the cask includes attachments, designated as impact limiters, which are designed to limit the accelerations experienced by the cask and its contents.
The execution of the analysis is straightforward, and the primary results required are the displacement of the cask body into the impact limiters (crush) and the maximum accelerations developed during the impact.
