Abstract
This paper describes the TN 17 T shuttle cask and its operation at the Tihange spent fuel pool storage facilities in Belgium. The operational constraints and the diverse range of on-site facilities were evaluated by Transnuch!aire and Transnubel to establish the cask options for both on-site and off-site transports. The selected cask concept is presented in outline terms and the main project stages are listed.
