Appendix C Experience of Russian Companies in Transportation of Nuclear Materials Valentin B. Ivanov Institute of Ore Deposits, Petrography, Mineralogy, and Geochemistry, Russian Academy of Sciences 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. 113
