Abstract
Abstract BNFL have carried out the marine transport of irradiated nuclear fuel since the 1960s. Since 1976 BNFL have managed the transport system for this business and to date nearly 300 voyages and the transport of over 8000 tonnes of irradiated fuel have been completed. Between 1986 and 1993 the IMO (International Maritime Organization) developed the INF code for ships carrying varying quantities of irradiated fuel, plutonium and high level waste. The PNTL vessels meet the highest level of this code (INF3). This paper described the design and operation of the ships and their cargo. The management of the transport system is also described, including emergency response plans and salvage arrangements.
