Chernobyl on Wheels

The Guardian again but this time an article about transporting of nuclear waste. It's said to be like "Chernobyl on wheels" by some observers but Chernobyl was a rather outdated nuclear power station and this is spent fuel rods so not quite the same thing.What interested me most was the photograph (which wasn't explained) that accompanied the article. It looks like there must be radiation coming from the container and indeed there is radiation, IR radiation.
