On August 25th 1984, 15 km from Ostende the French ship MONT LOUIS, sailing to USSR, sank after a collision. She was lying on a sand-bank 15-meter deep at low tide. The freight was constituted by 30 containers type 48Y containing 350 tons of uranium hexafluoride enriched at less than 1 percent. The recovery of UF/sub 6/ containers was decided. The report describes the operation. All the containers were recovered, only one showed a small leak at the valve which was choked on the barge. Lessons drawn from the accident by international and French authorities for regulations and technical aspect are exposed. (ERA citation 12:027153)
