On the PATRAM symposium, the international conference devoted to the packaging and transport of radioactive materials, being held today in Juan-les-Pins, France, Orano NPS, the Orano group's nuclear logistics subsidiary, and Technetics, a company specializing in metal gaskets for high-tech industries, signed an exclusive contract for its optimized metal gasket model.
This high-performance gasket, which equips the TN Eagle dual-purpose transport and dry storage cask, is a metal gasket with exceptional ageing resistance properties. It contributes to enabling the package to withstand the accidental transport conditions required by international regulations, even after several decades of ageing.
Frederic de Agostini, CEO Orano NPS said "I am delighted to renew this exclusive contract with our partner Technetics, whose metal gasket contributes to the exceptional robustness of our TN Eagle package".
Rachel Figueras, VP/GM Technetics Group commented: "I'm delighted to be able to continue this outstanding collaboration with our customer Orano NPS. Our innovative sealing solution tailor-made for the TN Eagle offers state-of-the-art reliability for this latest-generation cask".
