The team at Cyclife UK with its own digital modelling support, DEMplus ® for nuclear, has completed the initial optioneering, engineering development, off-site testing of more than 1 000 stainless steel drums of low-level waste handling equipment and the civil engineering enabling works... In subsequent phases, Cyclife has led the design, development, methodology and testing of the equipment which will be utilised to emplace the drums into the vaults at the Repository site, and managed the on-site civil enabling works.
