KOBAU supports the pilot project “Special quiver for fuel assemblies”.

The clever solution of the specialists was a specially designed quiver for the Castor-container for the fuel assemblies which would allow for a safe storage and transportation even in a smaller number. A process that was additionally developed in the course of the solution, made it possible to insert the fuel assemblies into the quiver inside the holding basin of the NPP under water. Both, construction and process, had to be qualified and approved by the Federal Office for Radiation Protection – an understandable measure considering the cargo. Thanks to the extensive expertise – also by the colleagues of KOBAU – the loading of the quiver and the subsequent loading of the Castor with the quiver could be completed smoothly.
