Storage
Process one
Uranic material arrives at site in two ways, either as depleted uranium from fuel recycling at Sellafield, or as uranium hexafloride from Urenco Capenhurst Ltd's enrichment process. All new uranic material is received at the front of the storage area before being unloaded by crane and catalogued prior to storage.
Process two
The containers of uranic material are transported within the safe and secure storage facility by fork lift, or specialist truck, depending on the type of container. It is assigned a designated space on a storage rack and remains there in a controlled and secure environment pending its further reuse.
