【《瑞士原子能协会通报》1988年第12期第24页报道】美国能源部订购了一个铁路运输容器原型。利用这种容器,将能把商业核电站的乏燃料元件经由铁路运至最终贮存库或中间贮存库(有监测可回收贮存)。这项价值1360万美元的订货给予了太平洋核子系统公司的一个子公司。 [Swiss Atomic Energy Association, No. 12, 1988, p. 24] The United States Department of Energy ordered a prototype of a rail transport container. With this container, the spent fuel elements of commercial nuclear power plants will be able to be transported by rail to final storage or intermediate storage (with monitoring and recyclable storage). The $13.6 million order was given to a subsidiary of Pacific Nuclear Subsystem.
