Abstract
Abstract For those utilities that have chosen interim storage to keep capacity available in their pools, the dual purpose cask is the best solution. It combines very safe storage conditions with the flexibility to transport the spent fuel at any time to another facility anywhere, such as a reprocessing plant. For the two Belgian reactors, DOEL 3, and DOEL 4, and for the GOSGEN nuclear power plant in Switzerland Transnuceaire proposed three specific packagings (TN 24D, TN 24XLand TN 24G). They are based on the same generic design, the TN 24, which is a forged steel cask covered by a neutron shielding resin. The design criteria are given and, in the light of the Belgian and Swiss requirements, the design approach of the TN 24 family of casks. Finally, a detailed description of each cask developed by Transnucleaire is provided.
