Abstract
Natural Uranium Hexafluoride (UF 6 ) has been transported to the demonstration enrichment plant (DP), operated by Power Reacter and Nuclear Fuel Development Corporation (PNC), at Ningyo-Pass in Okayama Prefecture since Aprill988. Natural UF 6 will be also transported to the commercial enrichment plant (CP} after its completion, which is under construction at Rokkasho-mura in Aomori Prefecture: In this study we conducted following tests and analyses to verify the safety of natural UF 8 transportation.
