Scope The permanent removal of all identified material (Dragon, LEU, CHILW &CLDs). 2

  3. RSRL Waste and Nuclear Material Dragon fuel in 40-litre containers Low Enriched Uranium in 200-litre drums Contact Handled ILW Drums in 200-litre drums Concrete Lined Drums (200, 450 & 670-litre) 3

  4. Summary of Transport Movements 4

  5. Rail method of operation • Multi modal-currently used for both nuclear and non nuclear • Road transfer from Harwell to railhead • Rail transfer from railhead to Sellafield • Up to 4 packages per movement ~300 rail moves
