The shipwreck of the Mont-Louis loaded with 30 containers filled with 350 tons of UF sub 6 is described. Characteristics and performances of 48 Y containers are recalled. Possible impact of the accident are examined. Then the recovery of containers is described. This accident demonstrates the efficiency of safety in the nuclear industry. The only point to reconsider is the protection of the vane of the container. In an appendice transport regulations are recalled. (ERA citation 11:019154)
