Spent Nuclear Fuel
Purpose of the ship is to transport Spent Nuclear Fuel (SNF) and Radioactive Waste (RW) mainly using TK-18 containers, but also using other type packages, including 20 ft ISO containers, from bases and ship-repair yards to points of reloading to railway. The ship is designed to the most strictest international rules and is compliant with the International Code for the Safe Carriage of Packaged Irradiated Nuclear Fuel, Plutonium and High-Level Radioactive Wastes on board Ships (INF Code).
Examples of this expertise are the duplication of plant in the hold so that it is autonomous and separate from the rest of the plant, two propulsion areas separated by a watertight bulkhead, and a double hull in the part of the ship where the cargo is held. In addition, the shield protecting the holds and the monitoring system for the whole of the area involved in transporting the cargo have been designed in accordance with strict regulations regarding nuclear safety and security.
