	6/14/96 NCI Letter to Morris Rosen, IAEA
		The Type C fire test (800°C fire for 60 minutes) is also considerably less severe than the test required for flight recorders (1100°C for 60 minutes)---the latter having been developed from the actual thermal conditions which have been experienced in accidents.
		In view of the fact that there have been accidents in which flight recorders have been breached, the demonstrated inferiority of Type C casks relative to flight recorders casts considerable doubt on the claim that Type C casks will be able to survive a realistic range of aircraft accidents.
		The U.S. impact test for a cask used in domestic flights is 129 meters/second (almost identical to the flight recorder specification), compared with the proposed IAEA test of 90 meters/second.
