During this decade, the front-end industry will face many challenges taking part in the nuclear renaissance. Indeed, in each sector, mining, conversion, enrichment and fuel, the industry will invest, innovate, creating new nuclear sites and increasing the whole front end business, to answer the growing demand. Period of growth are often difficult to manage, some of the investments planed as of today will become a reality, some will be delayed, some will never be completed, and other could be launched. The transport business will therefore have to follow this trend, and best anticipate it: new routes, new sites, new packages, while providing always the highest level of safety. This paper will describe some of the challenges that the front end transport will have to face before 2020 in this moving picture.
