Design Capacity of the Plant
• Plant produces 50 storage/transport casks
per year, operating in one 8-hr shift
• Operates for 25 years
• Casks will store the equivalent to about
25% the inventory of PWR inventory or
could store the equivalent to about 45% of
BWR inventory

AAiirr OOuuttlleett
The DUCRETE cask is 35 tons lighter
and 100 cm smaller in diameter than
casks made from ordinary concrete.

Substitute DUCRETE in GNB CONSTOR
Cask and Optimize Design
•
Reduce size and weight
• Allow higher thermal loads
• Meet technical and economic
performance criteria
• Comply with regulatory
requirements and standards
