Abstract
In the weeks following a reactor shut down, spent fuel is checked to control fuel integrity and to identify leaker fuel assemblies. For transport, sound fuel is loaded directly in the cask and defect one in special bottle designed by COGEMA and placed into the cask. We will review the main technical aspects of LWR damaged spent fuel transport and COGEMA's experience in this type of transport.
