The new CASTOR${}^{\circledR }$ geo. A comprehensive solution for transport and storage of spent nuclear fuel, MOX and damaged fuel

Dry interim storage has become a common solution for the disposal of spent fuel in recent years worldwide. However, in particular the complete defueling of NPP prior to decommissioning and dismantling will dramatically increase the demand especially for non-standard fuel. Here the new dry storage system by GNS is presented for international markets with its capability to also store MOX and damaged spent fuel. The new CASTOR${}^{\circledR }$ geo cask system is a product line based on standardized modules and components featuring different cask dimensions and basket designs.
