What to do in case of a transport cask accident - call in the Emergency Response team

摘要

Transnucleaire has devised an emergency response strategy and developed the necessary dedicated equipment for the recovery of a heavy cask carrying spent nuclear fuel in case of rail or road transport accident. To prove that it works, the company organised a full scale field test. Transnuclgaire, part of the Cogema Group, is devoted to the transport of radioactive materials of the nuclear fuel cycle. It performs this activity using all modes of transport - road, rail, sea and air. To comply with IAEA recommendations for the implementation of an Emergency Response Plan as described in Safety Series 87, Transnucleaire has developed its own comprehensive Emergency Response capability in the event of a transport accident.
