The flask is designed so as to minimise surface contamination and to facilitate the<br />

decontamination of what remains after loading:<br />

· Outer surfaces are treated with a paint that can be decontaminated;<br />

· The design of the flasks eliminates as far as possible retention zones where<br />

contamination might become trapped. Where a potential retention could not be<br />

eliminated through design, tools and/or methods to protect the zone are indicated in<br />

the operating instructions;<br />

· The TN DUO also allows the trouble-free retrieval of spent fuel after the interim<br />

storage period by simply opening the 2 bolted lids.<br />

Shock absorbing covers and anti-aircraft crash cover<br />

The shock absorbing covers provide the protection required for transport licensing.<br />

The anti-aircraft crash cover provides the protection against an aircraft crash on the storage<br />

facility. It is made of carbon steel with paint protection against corrosion.<br />
