Islamabad: Nuclear Transport Solutions (NTS), a global leader in nuclear logistics, has successfully completed the latest international shipment of Mixed Oxide (MOX) fuel assemblies from France to Japan, the company announced this week.

The MOX cargo, destined for Units 3 and 4 of the Takahama Nuclear Power Station, travelled aboard Pacific Nuclear Transport Ltd’s (PNTL) specialised vessels Pacific Heron and Pacific Egret. The ships departed Cherbourg, France, in early September and arrived safely in Japan after a tightly regulated and securely monitored voyage.

The delivery marks the ninth MOX transport carried out by NTS during a milestone year that also celebrates PNTL’s 50 years of safe and secure nuclear transport operations.
