What stress tests do radioactive waste containers undergo?

The shipment of nuclear and radioactive materials accounts for around 2% of international dangerous goods shipments worldwide.

Radioactive substances can be transported by road, rail, sea, air and navigable waterways. The means of transport is generally chosen according to the type of nuclear or radioactive material. For example, if high-level waste has to be transported, it is done so by rail or road in compliance with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Transport Regulations and European Commission directives.

Below is a video of the strength test carried out on the containers used for the transport of radioactive waste by road.
