Storage & Transport desk

Since 2009 rail shipments have moved upwards of 17 million tons of uranium waste from a former mill near Moab, Utah, to a disposal site about 30 miles off. For decades the pile stood a few metres from the Colorado River.

All Castor containers have now been placed in the interim storage facility at the former Brokdorf nuclear power plant in Germany. The most recent transports to the site had attracted attention in June.
