Atlas Railcar Phase 3 Final Report

Phase 3: Prototype Fabrication and Delivery report prepared by: Orano Federal Services LLC

May 28, 2019

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is laying the groundwork for implementing an integrated nuclear waste management system. This includes preparing for future large-scale transport of spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste, since transport will be a necessary component of any integrated nuclear waste management system. With this project, DOE will provide for the transportation of spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste by means of a specific railcar to carry casks.
