NORCROSS, GA — NAC International Inc. (NAC) is pleased to announce the successful completion and safe deployment of 56 NAC-MPC cask systems at the West Valley Demonstration Project (WVDP) in West Valley, New York. A significant project milestone was achieved on November 17, 2016, with the placement of the last NAC-MPC system transferred to the newly built onsite dry storage facility. This project sets an industry record where multi-purpose canister based systems are relied upon to safely store vitrified high level waste (HLW) at a U.S. Department of Energy nuclear decommissioning project. A talented team, led by the site prime contractor, CH2M HILL BWXT West Valley, LLC (CHBWV), completed the safe loading of the 56 HLW canisters as part of the WVDP Phase I Decommissioning Project, which concluded with the successful relocation of HLW to the onsite dry storage facility.

NORCROSS, GA — NAC International Inc. (NAC) announced today that it has been awarded a contract by CH2M HILL Plateau Remediation Company (CH2M) for the supply of NAC-Multi-Purpose Canister (NAC-MPC) dry storage systems and specialized technology to safely package and store 1,936 radioactive capsules currently stored at the Waste Encapsulation and Storage Facility (WESF) at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Hanford Site in Washington State. The capsules contain radionuclides and wastes generated during the chemical processing of defense fuel at the Hanford Site. CH2M is DOE’s prime contractor for the safe, environmental cleanup of the Central Plateau at the DOE’s Hanford Site, including management of the WESF. DOE currently plans to implement on-site extended storage of the WESF capsules relying on commercially available dry storage technology and best industry practices.

NORCROSS, Ga. – NAC International Inc. (NAC) announced that it has entered into a contract with China National Nuclear Corporation Everclean Co., LTD (CNNC-E) and China Nuclear Energy Industry Corporation (CNEIC) for supply of NAC pressurized water reactor high burnup spent fuel transport casks and associated equipment. Under the contract, NAC will supply four (4) new NAC-STC transportation casks and related ancillary equipment. This contract award concludes a highly competitive procurement by CNNC-E/CNEIC to expand CNNC-E’s transportation cask fleet with proven technologies that can support future large scale spent fuel transport in China, while accommodating modern spent fuel generated by Chinese commercial power reactors. In particular, the scope of the contract includes NAC design, engineering, licensing and fabrication of the NAC-STC transportation casks optimized to transport high burnup fuels with higher initial enrichment and shorter cooling times. These new systems will support CNNC-E’s spent fuel transportation campaigns from the Daya Bay nuclear station, located near Shenzhen, Guangdong Province. CNNC-E is also planning to use these packages for potential future shipments from other Chinese commercial power reactors.
