New Transport Cask Used at Vermont Yankee

摘要

One of NorthStar Vermont Yankee's decommissioning partners is using a new cask it designed to transport some of the higher level radioactive waste from Vermont to Texas. Orano, an international company that is partnering with NorthStar on the Yankee demolition and clean up, said last week it is now using its new transport cask, in addition to its special shielded and reinforced boxes, to ship the relatively high level radioactive parts from the reactor to the low-level radioactive waste site in west Texas owned by Waste Control Specialists.
