Abstract
The spent fuel from Loviisa's two WWER-440 units is returned to the Soviet fuel supplier, V /0 Atomenergoexport (AEE), under separate contracts. The return is carried out using Soviet transport casks and container wagons designed for WWER-440 spent fuel [I, 2]. In addition, road transport trailers owned by lmatran Voima Oy (IVO) are used to transfer the casks from Loviisa railway station to the power plant and back. So far, three shipments from Loviisa-1 have successfully been carried out, in 198 I , 1982 [3] and 1985.
