In 1976 it became necessary to plan for the
safe transportation and long-term storage
of nuclear waste. It was necessary to
manufacture a suitable container for this
application.

In 1988 this concept became a practicality,
with MTV employing the most up-to-date
electrolyte technology, processing “knowhow”
and special handling techniques for these
very large components.

Today, after 15 years and over 300 containers processed, the
CASTOR® treatment is a routine operation for MTV. During these
15 years it has been possible to make additional savings by
streamlining the transportation and optimising the processing
technology. In the meantime the basic CASTOR® technology has
been improved which contributes further to the effi ciency.

MTV’s concept was realized complying with the offi cial
requirements for the nuclear industry and delivering
close-tolerance, precision-coated equipment as well as a surface
fi nish which cannot be surpassed, naturally at a viable cost.
