Abstract
The transport of irradiated nuclear fuel from the BNFL Magnox Generation nuclear power stations is a necessary requirement in the continued safe generation of electricity. As such the CEGB (and its successor companies) have invested heavily in developing an irradiated fuel transport flask, the M2 flask design, that meets the twin aims of maintaining regulatory compliance and securing the fuel delivery requirements of the generating stations to the end of their economic lives. This paper describes the steps that have been taken in establishing a compliant flask design and how that design has been maintained in terms of compliance, quality assurance, operation and maintenance.
