Case studies

NTS represented the UK at a prestigious international conference in Vienna. 

NTS were asked to help with the movement of un-irradiated fissile materials (‘Exotics’) from the site managed by Dounreay Site Restorations Ltd (DSRL).

NTS’s expertise in security and resilience helps maturing and developing nations strengthen their own nuclear security and resilience capabilities.

NTS actively encouraged the adaptation of existing IAEA regulations to better support the bulk transport of nuclear materials with a small fissile content.

We made a successful application to the Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR for a “Special Arrangement Approval” to transport a package that had not been conclusively proven to comply with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) thermal test.

The NTS M4/12 MOX fuel transport package has improved shielding and thermal performance.

NTS shielding assessors were asked to provide an assessment to justify the shipment of 120 UX-30B transport packages on board a PNTL vessel. Timescales were short plus the vessel had only previously been licensed to carry 40 of the packages.

The UK had an urgent requirement to collect a backlog of radiation sealed sources from across the country and transport them for safe disposal.
