Abstract
 In Europe shielding casks for transportation and storage of radioactive waste with higher specific activity are in use. These casks developed by GNS and fabricated from ductile cast iron are called MOSAIK® cask. At the moment 4 main types with some subtypes, named MOSAIK® I, II, III and 80 T, are in use. The MOSAIK® casks are licensed for the German interim storages and the planned final repository MOSAIK® II and MOSAIK® 80 T are licensed as a type B(U) cask also. Till now more then 4100 MOSAIK® cask have been built and loaded with radioactive MAW material.
