Nuclear Shields designed a nuclear waste container for LLW and ILW storage. This nuclear waste container has multiple leak prevention layers to ensure containment of the radioactive materials. This nuclear waste container can be transported by forklift or crane. The nuclear waste container can be picked up with a heavy forklift on all four sides, with a crane attached to the lid and with a crane attached to the container itself. this nuclear waste container can be easily stacked to enable a maximum storage capacity of the radioactive waste depository.
- Many integrated leak prevention layers
- Drum handling & overpack system
- Self shielded by lead layer
- Can be manufactured according to customer specific requirements
One of the main features of this nuclear waste container is the ability to directly store nuclear waste drums inside the container, which will then serve as a 4-drum overpack. This overpacking platform will decrease the waste management time and will add extra layers of leak protection, which will reduce the risk of expensive leaks. This container can also be used to directly store radioactive material instead of overpacking.
This nuclear waste container can be handled with a forklift or a crane. The base of the container has forklift entrances on all four sides, which makes handling this nuclear waste container very flexible.
The lifting eyes on top of the lid can be screwed on to remove the lid. Lifting eyes can be attached to the corner castings of the container to lift the entire container by crane.
