NUCLEAR FUELS, ROAD AND RAIL

Orano NCS GMBH Nuclear Fuels Rail Logi­stics Department (BES) is a leading pro­vider of trans­por­tation and logi­stics ser­vices in the nuclear fuel logi­stics business.

The main focus is on major pro­jects, such as managing secure ship­ments of spent fuel ele­ments from power and research reactors, and returning high and medium-level waste from repro­cessing plants to the German interim storage loca­tions (ZL) using a tri­modal trans­por­tation system.

In addition, the BES port­folio includes the management of rail trans­por­tation of various uranium pro­ducts in the uranium enrichment field (U3O8, UF6).

Tog­ether with our Group member, heavy load haulier Orano NT, the Nuclear Fuels Rail Logi­stics Department has done pio­neering work with the con­cepts deve­loped for the secure ship­ments to the former repro­cessing plant and to the German interim storage loca­tions (e.g. HAW ship­ments to Gor­leben and moving fuel ele­ments from Obrigheim nuclear power station to interim storage at Neckar­westheim). We are still very proud of this today.
