Canistered Storage

Canistered storage refers to a method of securely storing radioactive material or other sensitive substances in specially designed containers called canisters. These canisters are engineered to contain and isolate hazardous materials, preventing leaks and protecting people and the environment. They are typically used in nuclear waste management, where they safely hold spent fuel or waste for long-term containment. The canisters are robust, durable, and often made of materials like stainless steel or concrete, ensuring that the stored materials remain contained until they can be properly disposed of or reprocessed.
