Abstract

For over 30 years spent nuclear fuel has been transported by road and rail. In that time, there has never been an accident involving the release of radioactivity. Notwithstanding this excellent record it is both necessary and desirable to have contingency plans for any emergency situation. The Irradiated Fuel Transport Flask Emergency Plan for England and Wales (IFTFEP) has been developed and administered by Nuclear Electric pic to set out the detailed response by the nuclear industry to a mishap involving an irradiated fuel flask in transit.
