TN Eagle: innovative packaging concept for the shipping and dry storage of used nuclear fuel
Thanks to a tenfold reduction in the number of components, the TN Eagle’s modular and simplified design enables final assembly without welding, resulting in greater robustness and a manufacturing time of 18 months compared to an average 36 months for the previous generation of packaging. The TN Eagle has obtained shipping approval from the French nuclear safety authority (ASN) in accordance with the latest IAEA requirements. It will be manufactured using an innovative process at the highly automated TN Eagle Factory, a 4.0 facility located in the port of Cherbourg.
