Dry Storage Casks
TransNuclear Ltd
., a joint-venture
between AREVA and Kobe Steel Ltd.,
has delivered to Tokyo Electric Power
Co., Ltd (TEPCO) the first three metallic
casks for the dry storage of spent fuels
stored in the common pool of Fukushima
Daiichi nuclear power plant.
TEPCO plans to transfer the spent
fuels currently stored in the spent fuel
pools of damaged units 1 to 4 to the
common pool which did not suffer
damages after March 11, 2011 events.
This transfer will be made possible,
thanks to the loading of a number of spent
fuel assemblies from the common pool
into the dry storage casks delivered by
TransNuclear Ltd. These casks will then
be stored byTEPCO in the cask temporary
storage facilities under construction at the
site of Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power
plant.
The order from TEPCO consists
of 11 casks. Eight other casks will be
delivered to TEPCO in the coming weeks.
These deliveries are an important step
in the decommissioning process of the
Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.
These casks can withstand major
natural disasters as proven by the nine
similar casks used by TEPCO on the
Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant
site at the time of the March 11, 2011
events. This is a new illustration of a very
high safety level of the solution proposed
by AREVA to its customers.

Fuel Development
Westinghouse Electric Company
has signed a Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) with The South
African Nuclear Energy Corporation
Ltd (Necsa) to investigate and
cooperate in the development of local
fabrication capabilities for fuel assembly
components.
This most recent agreement
with Necsa is a demonstration of
Westinghouse’s commitment towards
localization of nuclear technologies to
South Africa. By using Necsa’s state-of-
the-art manufacturing facilities, thisMOU
will lead to closer cooperation towards
fuel component manufacturing as well
as nuclear fuel technology support in the
future. Westinghouse remains committed
to play an active role in the electricity
generation in South Africa, building on
its localization efforts through a network
of industrial partners.
The industrial growth forecast in
South Africa is backed by an ambitious
government plan where the need for
sustainable energy will become vitally
