Licensing of LLW Final Storage Casks as Transport Casks of Type IP for Fissile Radioactive Materials

In 1995 Siemens AG decided to stop the manufacture of fuel assemblies in Hanau and to decommission the Uranium and MOX plant. Since this time about 70.000 tons of radioactive contaminated materials have either been recycled or prepared for final storage in the planned repository Konrad. Up to now about 750 of a totally expected number of about 1200 so-called \"KONRAD-Containers\" are loaded and stored in an intermediate storage facility at Nuclear Cargo + Service GmbH in Hanau (see Fig. 1).
