Lead Nuclear Casks
Nuclear casks are heavily lead shielded containers used to store and or ship radioactive materials. Only the lid of the nuclear cask is a separate piece, a screw thread is machined into the lid of the lead cask and into the vessel itself allowing for a radiation tight seal. A high standard of manufacturing is required.
Spent nuclear fuel shipping casks are used to transport spent nuclear fuel used in nuclear power plants and research reactors to disposal sites. Each shipping container is designed to maintain its integrity under normal transportation conditions and during hypothetical accident conditions. Casks are designed and tested to withstand crashes, fire, water immersion and puncture.
