History
The WNTI was established by Industry in 1998 to represent the collective interests of
the radioactive materials transport sector. The WNTI has grown to nearly 50 Members
to date from a wide range of industry sectors (radioisotopes producers, major utilities,
fuel producers, transport companies, package designers, package producers and
mines and other industry transport stakeholders...)
WNTI supports the work of key intergovernmental organisations, such as the IMO and
the IAEA, in promoting an efficient, harmonised international transport safety and
security regime.
Exchanges within intergovernmental organisations, with national competent authorities
and collaboration with related industry organisations are essential for the WNTI.

The Nuclear Fuel Cycle
3
Around 5% of Class 7 Radioactive Material transported worldwide per
year are related to the Nuclear Fuel Cycle (The rest include medicine,
agriculture, research, manufacturing, non-destructive testing and in the
exploration of minerals).

The Nuclear Fuel Cycle -
Back End Transport
4
All operations concerned with the spent fuel which leaves the reactors, including the
shipment of spent fuel elements from nuclear power plants to reprocessing facilities for
recycling, and the subsequent transport of the products of reprocessing.
Alternatively, if the once-through option is chosen, the spent fuel is transported to interim
storage facilities pending its final disposal.

WORLD NUCLEAR TRANSPORT INSTITUTENo Workstream Aim Objective
1 Waste Inventory Forecasting
& Characterisation
Lead: Sellafield Ltd, UK.
To develop a means of predicting waste arising’s in the nuclear
industry and drive discussion on how the derived data can be
exploited to develop worked examples on the characterisation,
categorisation and classification of materials for transport to
interim and final disposal facilities.
Factsheet
2 Cask Decommissioning
Lead: Sellafield Ltd, UK.
To explore the cask decommissioning methodologies available
to the world-wide nuclear industry, promote discussion on the
relative strengths/weaknesses of identified processes and
develop thinking on what constitutes current best practice
Good Practice
Guide
3 Waste Transport Regulation
Framework
Lead: RWM, UK.
To engage the nuclear industry and take their views on the
aspects of the current transport regulatory framework that
constrain waste operations.
To use the derived data in order to develop proposals for
regulatory change.
IAEA
Engagement
4 Dual-Use Casks
Lead: Orano, France.
To drive discussion and share industry practice on the best
practice standards and expectations in relation to the design,
manufacture, use and maintenance of dual-use (transport and
storage) casks.
To engage with the regulatory community in order to ensure that
future regulatory revision is sensitive to the views of industry.

DPCSC
5 Consignee Duty-Holding
Lead: Sellafield Ltd, UK.
To explore the duties and expectations of the transport role of
consignee, promote discussion on the relationship between
consignor & consignee and develop the thinking on what
constitutes good practice.
