14.2.2.4 TN TM 833<br />
The TN TM 833 can transport 12 bitumen drums (equivalent to 200 l drums) by cask, arranged<br />
in two layers. This transport container design will be available from 2010 and will be a type<br />
B(U) package. It will be transportable by road or rail, and is vertically tied-down on a flat ISO<br />
20’ frame that is attached to a wagon or a truck.<br />
The TN TM 833 cask is developed to transport bituminized residues arising from spent fuel<br />
reprocessing to their owners (Spain, etc.).<br />
Its design has consequently to be compliant with the AREVA-La Hague DE/EB facility<br />
mechanical interfaces: mass less than 40 tons, loading / unloading operations with trunnions,<br />
for instance.<br />
This cask is made of stainless steel with external heat insulator on the body and inside the<br />
lid. The shock absorber cover, on the top, is made of aluminium and contains insulating<br />
material.<br />
· a cylindrical body (external diameter : 2330 mm), equipped with two trunnions;<br />
· the lid consists of a thick disc equipped with an orifice and a handling feature;<br />
· one top shock absorber made of aluminum with internal heat insulating material<br />
(external diameter : 2700 mm);<br />
· two internal baskets, each for 6 bitumen drums (around 215 l);<br />
· Total height: 2680 mm;<br />
· Total gross weight: 40 tons;<br />
· Content weight: 6.8 tons;<br />
· Lid cover weight: 2.5 tons.<br />
14.2.2.5 TN TM 837<br />
The TN TM 837 cask is being developed to transport technological waste immobilised in a<br />
concrete matrix, in a packaging called CBFC’2. The TN TM 837 cask is mainly being developed<br />
in order to allow AREVA to return waste from AREVA La Hague plant to Spain.<br />
Its design, therefore, has needed to be compliant with the AREVA-La Hague plant DE/EDS<br />
facility mechanical interfaces: mass less than 50 tons, loading / unloading operations with<br />
trunnions, for instance.<br />
The TN TM 837 will be available when the first waste return is required and is a type B(U)<br />
package. It will be transportable, by road or rail, and is vertically tied-down on a flat ISO 20’<br />
frame attached to a wagon or a truck. This transport frame has the same handling design as<br />
for the TN TM 833.
