UK sealed radiation sources – delivering a new and cost-effective solution
The UK had an urgent requirement to collect a backlog of radiation sealed sources from across the country and transport them for safe disposal.

UF6 shipment – optimising capacity on a PNTL vessel
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.

Fissile Exceptions – improving nuclear waste transport efficiency
NTS actively encouraged the adaptation of existing IAEA regulations to better support the bulk transport of nuclear materials with a small fissile content.

Special Arrangement Application – demonstrating equivalent safety
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.

Transferring plutonium from Dounreay
In 2019 we used our rail, shipping and technical capabilities to complete a programme of complex, high-security transport operations to transfer civil separated plutonium held at Dounreay, to Sellafield.
