Volunteer Cask
NAC International’s new high-capacity Volunteer Type B(U) transport packaging system brings a new level of capabilities to the transport of Tritium-Producing Burnable Absorber Rods (TPBARs), vitrified high-level waste (HLW), and irradiated hardware.
The Volunteer packaging systems offers several advantages:
The Volunteer cask provides a safe means of transporting a wide range of radioactive material contents. It offers long, standard, and short configurations.
Each configuration accommodates various contents; TPBAR contents in the standard configuration; vitrified HLW in long, standard, or short length casks; and irradiated hardware in the long or short length configuration.
The primary mode of transportation for the Volunteer is by road, although rail or sea transport modes are also possible.
Fabrication of the first Volunteer cask is under way and targeted for service in Q2 2027.
