6 Background WORLD NUCLEAR TRANSPORT INSTITUTE

No Transport... No Nuclear Energy

To sustain this important source of energy, nuclear utilities around the world depend on safe, efficient and reliable transport of the full range of nuclear fuel cycle materials.

7 Regulations for the Transport of Radioactive Materials WORLD NUCLEAR TRANSPORT INSTITUTE

8 Modes & Types of Transport WORLD NUCLEAR TRANSPORT INSTITUTE

• Sea, Air, Road and Rail

• Limitations

• Segregation

• Safety & Security

9 Package Challenges from Industry Perspective WORLD NUCLEAR TRANSPORT INSTITUTE

[Regulatory aspects] – Harmonisation : some countries’ requirements are not same as IAEA Transport Regulation (SSR-6) – Approval process and Transition arrangements

[Technical aspects] – Codes and standards – Analysis conditions and methods such as critical analysis conditions

• WNTI work examples of challenges for waste transport packages  Criticality Assessment  Transport Frame  DPC  Large Components  Waste Characterisation  Cask Decommissioning

10 Challenges for

Cask Decommissioning WORLD NUCLEAR TRANSPORT INSTITUTE

Situation • Old transport casks for spent nuclear fuel are planned to be decommissioned in some countries Concerns • Waste origin (from international transport) WNTI actions • To collect Industry information and regulatory concerns. • To support development of acceptable solutions. • To consider Fact Sheets and Good Practice Guides for stakeholders.

11 Summary WORLD NUCLEAR TRANSPORT INSTITUTE
