Casks and Containers for Radioactive Waste

Storing and transporting safely

Siempelkamp Nukleartechnik has developed and manufactured transport and storage casks and containers for the nuclear sector since the 1970s. Since then, over 6,000 casks of the most varied designs have been produced for the handling of radioactive materials.

The range of materials extends from a range of casting qualities to granulate concrete and steel.

The range of services is completed with authorisation to conduct design pattern testing at Siempelkamp. The required verifications of suitability for transport and storage of casks have already been successfully completed at our own manufacturing sites for over 30 design patterns.

All cask and container types can also be manufactured with the addition of recycling material from the CARLA melting plant, that has been recycled from nuclear dismantling. This highly economical form of recycling is an ideal way to combine savings on resources and savings on interim storage and final disposal volumes.
