Severely damaged fuel rods, broken fuel rods and loose fissile material are not allowed to be transported away from a nuclear power plant in a standard transportation cask.

The Quiver can be licensed for all downstream handling, from the nuclear powerplant to transportation cask, intermediate storage and final repository.
