NAC-LWT

The NAC-LWT is the workhorse for U. S. commercial used nuclear fuel transportation casks. It is currently used for shipment of research reactor used fuel, nuclear power plant used fuel assemblies and fuel rods, and other irradiated materials.

The NAC-LWT is a very flexible design. The cask can be loaded wet in a pool, dry in hot cell facilities or in facilities with small pools and limited crane capacities.
