Abstract
The development and design by Nuclear Transport Limited (NTL) of the BNFL (British Nuclear Fuels plc) Vitrified Residue Flask for returning high-level waste to its country of origin has been described elsewhere (Gowing and Cory 1989) with the most recent and detailed account being given in 1991 at Bournemouth (Coulthart et al 1991). In this paper recent developments in the design, procurement and approval of the flask are described.
