Abstract
UK Nirex Ltd have developed three possible concepts of sealed transport containers for the safe transport of immobilised intermediate level radioactive waste. Computer based finite element impact and thermal analysis has been carried out on each concept and compliance with both the IAEA regulatory requirements and specified Nirex design aims has been demonstrated. One single concept will be selected at a later date following further development and confirmatory testing to provide a fleet of transport containers.
