Waste Management Technology Service
Packaging
Waste Management Technology operates and maintains it’s own fleet of packages. This fleet of packages ranges from simple IP1 & IP2 types, through Type A disposable packages, up to Type B flasks for the transportation of irradiated fuels and high activity sources. If a customer’s specific requirement cannot be met by any of our current flasks, we will seek to modify an existing package certificate or design, for the most cost- effective solution to the customer. An additional field of expertise involves instruction and assistance with package handling, package loading and the leak testing of packages used in Radioactive material shipments.

Transactive
In addition to the packaging types described above, Waste Management Technology has commissioned the Transactive-20 container. This container is used to transport large quantities of intermediate level waste. The package is approved to IAEA Type B(U)F standards and could potentially be licensed to carry a wide variety of payloads.
