Russian companies offer a broad range of services in the area of transporta-
tion of nuclear materials (fissile materials, fresh fuel, or spent fuel for various
reactors). The services include the following:
• preparation of necessary licensing documentation for transportation of
the spent nuclear fuel from power and research reactors in Russia and abroad
• preparation of nuclear material for transportation; development and
manufacturing of unique equipment and transportation of fuel from nuclear power
plants in Russia and abroad for research, storage, or reprocessing
• analysis of technical parameters of containers produced in Russia and
overseas to develop optimal variants for transportation that guarantee high-level
security, including protection from fuel failure
Recent experience of Russian companies is set forth in Tables 1, 2, and 3.
