The casks have two lids and this double lid system guarantees the safe confinement of the radioactive content. The seals of the casks are also permanently monitored. The fuel element support baskets in the interior of the casks ensure heat dissipation and \u2013 in particular \u2013 the subcriticality of the fissile material still contained in the irradiated fuel. The casks are designed to withstand even extreme external influences, such as transport accidents, fires or an aircraft crash.

intermediate-level radioactive waste is \u2018conditioned\u2019, meaning it is specially treated, processed and packaged. Depending on the consistency, size and nature of the waste, various conditioning processes are used:\u2028Liquid waste is evaporated or cemented, whereas solid waste is crushed, dried, incinerated, melted, compacted or cemented.\u2028Once the waste has been processed, for example, into briquettes or concentrates, it is packed in approved and standardised casks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>There are three basic types of casks for this:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Cylindrical concrete casks<\/li>\n<li>Cylindrical cast iron casks<\/li>\n<li>Standard casks<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>All these casks have successfully completed an extensive test programme at the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM) and have been approved in accordance with the regulations for transport and interim storage.
