Orlov, Yu. Metelkin, A. Maslov] Research performed at the Bochvar All-Russia Research Institute for Inorganic Materials (VNIINM) and the All-Russia Research Institute of Experimental Physics (VNIIEF) on the development of the TUK-117 multipurpose transport packaging is presented. The TUK-117 packaging possesses biological protection based on depleted uranium and intended for transporting and storing spent nuclear fuel. The higher capacity of the metallic uranium alloy for absorbing of γ-rays and the alloy's high mechanical characteristics have made it possible to develop a design meeting IAEA specifications. The technology for fabricating safety-engineered articles from uranium and its alloys by pouring the alloy into a prepared mold made of corrosion-resistant steel is patented.
