SMR Hot Cells and Casks for
Advanced Reactor Programs
Containment & Transport Systems for Next-Gen Nuclear Power
Robatel Technologies designs and fabricates SMR hot cells, Type B casks, and gloveboxes to support the safe handling, fuel cycle development, and radioactive material transport required by small modular reactors (SMRs) and advanced reactor systems. Whether you’re working with TRISO fuel, HALEU pellets, or molten salt technologies, we build custom systems to meet your shielding, compliance, and operational goals.
Engineered for the Demands of SMRs
We understand that SMR developers face compact footprints, modular deployments, and evolving licensing requirements. Our equipment is built to align with:
Compact remote or off-grid siting constraints
Alpha, gamma, and neutron shielding needs
Seismic and radiological performance standards
DOE, NRC, and IAEA regulatory frameworks
Enabling Innovation in a New Nuclear Era
Robatel brings over 70 years of experience in nuclear containment and transport to support the unique needs of:
Small Modular Reactor developers
Advanced fuel cycle programs (e.g., TRISO, HALEU, molten salt)
High-temperature gas-cooled and fast reactor systems
Microreactor and space nuclear technologies
We Specialize In:
Transportation & Storage Casks
Certified transport and storage casks for sealed sources, fuel samples, irradiated materials, and radiopharma waste.

Connects with hot cells, casks, or shielded lines
Designed for Emerging Fuel Forms and Reactor Designs
Unlike traditional systems, SMRs and advanced reactors introduce unique material, shielding, and thermal challenges. Our solutions are custom-engineered to support:
High-assay LEU (HALEU) and TRISO fuel handling
Alpha- and neutron-emitting material containment
Corrosion-resistant and high-temperature materials
Remote operation in compact or modular plant footprints
Tight integration with glovebox or shielded process lines
Relevant Capabilities
Robatel Technologies supports SMR and advanced reactor programs with:
Class I leak-tightness for fuel and source containment
Modular cell and glovebox systems for remote fabrication or reprocessing
High-integrity lead pouring and seamless interior finishes for contamination control
Custom shielding and cavity configurations for advanced fuel geometries
Air handling systems, inert gas environments, or controlled-atmosphere solutions
Casks for Next-Gen Fuel Transport
Our Type B(U) casks can be engineered to support the transport and storage of:
TRISO pebbles or compacts
HALEU pellets or assemblies
Irradiation capsules and targets
Specialized fuel pins or novel fuel forms
Reactor test components and experimental assemblies
We support end-to-end licensing, including thermal modeling, shielding calculation, and drop/fire/immersion compliance testing per IAEA and NRC regulations.
