Containment for Environmental Protection We package radioactive waste once, and we do it right…

Containment Systems CEP - US offers a wide range of radioactive waste containment systems. Our engineers can design containment systems for site anomalies and containers for specific purposes such as spent fuel bays.

Containment Systems We also offer multipurpose packagings - containers that can be used for both on-and-offsite transportation and long-term storage. Whatever your containment needs - CEP - US will take care of them - quality products and services at the best price possible.

Custom Designed Containment Systems CEP - US Custom containment systems are designed and sized on a case-by-case basis. Our engineers will work with you to find the best possible environmental solution to safely contain radwaste site anomalies. Our Containment Systems are constructed from high performance A+ durable concrete and have a service life of 500 or more years.

Custom Designed Containment Systems Features: Safe, unobtrusive environmental containment of radwaste. Constructed from super durable concrete: 500 or more years of safe storage, very sturdy and fire resistant. Containers can be tailor made and optimized for a specific use. Smaller packagings can be accommodated in any CEP - US above ground facility, and our pricing is very competitive.

CEP BOX  DOT model The CEP - US DOT Box (patent pending) is 2.44m x 1.22m x 1.13m with an internal volume of 17.2 cubic meters or 1720 litres.     [Imperial: 8’x4’x3’ 8¾”, with an internal volume of 60.75 cubic feet] The Box can contain a payload up to 5443 kg. (12,000 lbs) making it an ideal container for very heavy compacted radioactive waste. The CEP - US DOT Box also offers a useful service life of 500 or more years, superior intrinsic shielding, good stackability, small footprint, and are retrievable.

CEP ONSITE Containers  (LOW COST ) CEP Low Cost Onsite Containers are all constructed from A+ durable concrete and can be custom sized to meet the customer's needs. The suggested size is 2.44m x 1.22m x 1.13m with an internal volume of 17.2 cubic meters or 1720 litres. [8 feet long, 4 feet wide, 3’ 8 ¾” high], the same external dimensions as the CEP - US DOT Box. This size compatibility allows for convenient stack-ability in CEP above ground storage systems.

CEP ONSITE Containers  (LOW COST ) Features: Extremely long-life: 500 or more years Very sturdy and fire resistant container:      cost effective security Building block in an above-ground      storage facility Good intrinsic shielding Cost effective: competitive volume and      weight capacity, small footprint Stacking ability and easily retrieved when necessary The CEP Onsite Containers are not suitable for offsite transportation CEP - US Boxes can be fabricated on-site for local employment and customer convenience.

CEP High Security Container or CEP-HSC Introducing the CEP High Security Container or CEP-HSC - the sturdy, fire and intruder resistant container from CEP-US. The CEP-HSC is the best choice for the intruder resistant containment of high security or precious inventory. The Customers would be the Departments of Defense, Energy, or other government departments, their contractors or firms who need to contain potentially dangerous or precious inventory in a cost effective manner. Specifications are the same as the CEP BOX  DOT model.

CEP High Security Container or CEP-HSC Features: Extremely long-life: 500 or more years - a container that can be used for the safety of future generations Very sturdy, fire and intruder resistant      container: cost effective security Secure fastenings, which can be      changed from time to time to      enhance security. Stacking ability / retrievable:  the CEP-HSC can be stacked 10 high Small Footprint: Since space is often at a premium in high security premises the less space used for storage the better. CEP - US Boxes can be fabricated on-site for local employment and customer convenience.

Vitrification Container VIT-PAC      Vitrification of certain radioactive waste streams has been considered for some time. CEP-US is pleased to offer the radioactive waste management community our VIT-PAC.     The outer shell of the CEP-US vitrification container system is constructed from super durable concrete to insure extremely long service life - 500 years or more.     The inner liner of the VIT-PAC is fabricated from high integrity refractory heat shielding material.     The CEP DOT Cube and Box would be good choices for ease of handling, transportation and long-term storage in a CEP Above Ground Monitored Retrievable Storage Facility.     VIT-PACs can also be sized on a case-by-case basis for customer convenience. We at CEP-US look forward to turning a tested concept into a practical solution - the CEP VIT-PAC - optimizing the vitrification option.

Vitrification Container VIT-PAC      CEP VIT-PAC Advantages Outer shell constructed from durable concrete for extremely long life - 500 or more years of safe storage Multipurpose CEP DOT VIT-PACs offer ease of handling, transportation and storage Very sturdy and fire resistant container: cost effective security VIT-PACs can be accommodated in any CEP Above Ground Storage Facility Stack-ability and Small footprint Can be constructed on-site for customer convenience and local employment CEP VIT-PACs - optimizing vitrification

Ducrete Containers  (High Shield )     Ducrete containers are used in cases where additional shielding is required.    Ducrete is both an excellent neutron and gamma shield, and the ratio of attenuation can be optimized for each application.    The mixture density can be tailored to the application and densities of up to 368 lb/ft3 have been achieved.

Ducrete Containers  (High Shield )     Features: Superior shielding for specialized situations Long-life of 500 or more years Very sturdy and fire resistant container: cost effective security Cost effective: competitive weight and volume Stacking stability Ease of package recovery from storage, if required Forms a building block in an above-ground storage facility

A+ Durable Concrete     Due to environmental questions associated with permanent storage sites, extended on-site storage has become a reality.     For public safety and long term cost effectiveness it is essential to extend the service life of containment structures.

A+ Durable Concrete     CEP - US Durable concrete is the best choice for: Containment of radwaste site anomalies Nuclear Power Plant spent fuel bays and other containment structures. Multipurpose containers - containers suitable for long term storage and transportation The development of this durable concrete is the result of a concrete research program, conducted over 10 years. A specific formula can be tailored to the particular demands of each Radwaste Storage Site. CEP - US has the exclusive US rights to this durable concrete: exceptional concrete - exceptional service.

A+ Engineering and Consulting     Unique procedures: Improving onsite safety for personnel while optimizing transportation procedures: CEP - US has spent several years developing our unique procedures specifically tailored for each DOE site. These procedures will permit the transfers of high-activity waste on-site in our high performance durable DOT concrete containers with the same level of protection provided off-site by Type B packagings. These innovative procedures should be of great interest to the DOE and their contractors.
