Shipping

Specialist nuclear vessel Pacific Grebe has departed the UK carrying a flask of vitrified intermediate-level waste from the Sellafield site, heading for Australia.

NTS and Sellafield Ltd are planning to return intermediate-level waste in the form of vitrified residue to Australia.

NTS has named AW Ship Management as the new provider of ship management services for its fleet of specialist nuclear cargo vessels.

Pacific Heron and Pacific Egret arrived safely in Japan this morning and delivered their cargo of 16 MOX fuel assemblies to the Takahama Nuclear Power Station.

The decommissioning of Oceanic Pintail has “set the standard others must follow” after 100% of the 3,865-tonne specialist nuclear vessel was recycled.

Following successful departure from France, the PNTL vessels remain on passage carrying Mox fuel bound for Japan.

PNTL has announced it will transport Mox fuel to Japan in the near future.

Pacific Nuclear Transport Ltd (PNTL) is preparing for a seventh shipment of MOX fuel from France to Japan.

Sellafield Ltd and Nuclear Transport Solutions (NTS) are making preparations for the return of a small amount of substituted intermediate-level waste, in the form of vitrified residue, to Australia.
