Fuel Transport & Storage Solutions for SMR/AMR

Implement a comprehensive program for successful transport for both the front-end and back-end of the fuel cycle as well as interim storage

• Challenges

  Address the wide range of reactor designs, relying on different fuel types or modules (varying in geometry, chemical composition, enrichment, fissile materials, as well as targeted burn-up levels), by developing new customised solutions Support, within constrained timeframes, the delivery of fresh fuel to reactor sites around the world Manage the initial storage and transport of spent fuel, pending either their future reprocessing or long-term interim storage in an open fuel cycle

• Our Solution

  1. Front-End Transport Solutions For LEU: DN30 for UF6, TNF-XI for UO2 powder. For LEU+ or HALEU-enriched UF6: adopt innovative solutions such as DN30-X (approved to transport LEU+ and HALEU UF6) and VP55 For HALEU (UO2 or U3O8, Umetal, TRISO…): apply VP55 Pu (MOX/salts): deploy FS47 and MX6 2. Back-End Transport Solutions For your transport needs: use the TN MW®, a modular triple-purpose (transport/interim storage/final disposal) small/medium cask solution, or the TN Eagle®, a modular dual-purpose (transport/interim storage) cask solution Or opt for the reuse of existing casks (TN®MTR, TN®17MAX…) 3. Interim Dry Storage Solutions Select metallic cask solutions such as TN MW or TN Eagle Implement concrete Multi-Purpose Canister solutions such as Nuhoms Matrix

• Key Features

  Take advantage of the latest modular cask concepts to ensure flexibility for nuclear operators and simplify the licensing process. Reuse existing casks as an optimized solution to manage costs and leverage proven technologies for the initial stages of SMR/AMR development. Enhance safety and robustness through optimised designs that also reduce manufacturing lead times and costs. Provide competitive solutions by pooling efforts among stakeholders to avoid specific developments for each SMR/AMR project.
