History W ORLD N UCLEAR T RANSPORT I NSTITUTE The WNTI was established by Industry in 1998 to represent the collective interests of the radioactive materials transport sector. The WNTI has grown to nearly 50 Members to date from a wide range of industry sectors (radioisotopes producers, major utilities, fuel producers, transport companies, package designers, package producers and mines and other industry transport stakeholders...) WNTI supports the work of key intergovernmental organisations, such as the IMO and the IAEA, in promoting an efficient, harmonised international transport safety and security regime. Exchanges within intergovernmental organisations, with national competent authorities and collaboration with related industry organisations are essential for the WNTI.

The Nuclear Fuel Cycle W ORLD N UCLEAR T RANSPORT I NSTITUTE Around 5% of Class 7 Radioactive Material transported worldwide per year are related to the Nuclear Fuel Cycle (The rest include medicine, agriculture, research, manufacturing, non-destructive testing and in the exploration of minerals). IAEA – TM on Integrated Approaches to the Back End of the Fuel Cycle – 17 - 19 July 2018, Vienna 3
The Nuclear Fuel Cycle - Back End Transport W ORLD N UCLEAR T RANSPORT I NSTITUTE All operations concerned with the spent fuel which leaves the reactors, including the shipment of spent fuel elements from nuclear power plants to reprocessing facilities for recycling, and the subsequent transport of the products of reprocessing. Alternatively, if the once-through option is chosen, the spent fuel is transported to interim storage facilities pending its final disposal. Characteristics : limited volume transported in tailor made packages and dedicated conveyances Spent fuel cask on dedicated rail transport and being loaded onto a ship IAEA – TM on Integrated Approaches to the Back End of the Fuel Cycle – 17 - 19 July 2018, Vienna 4
