Testing of Nuclear Waste Transportation Vessels

A rather informative, interesting, and just plain badass video about the endurance testing of flasks designed to transport nuclear waste. This is "Operation Smash Hit", as conducted by the UK in 1984. This is what happens when a locomotive traveling at 100mph is run into a very heavy stationary object.

This is another video of tests conducted by the Sandia National Laboratories in the US, and is equally as badass. Where else are you going to get the excuse to strap some rocket engines onto a diesel locomotive and then crash it?
