Treatment activity:
During this period, the Establishment treated 32,25 tons of spent fuel assemblies from EDF power plants.
From all treated assemblies, a total of 777,11 tons have been processed to date this year.
During this period, 14 canisters of vitrified fission products have been produced(1).
Since the beginning of the year, 344 canisters have been produced.
It should be noted that the facility of hulls compaction (ACC) produced 25 canisters of compacted residues.
Since the beginning of the year, 578 canisters have been produced.
The actuality, it is also...
The fourth campaign of the road safety took place on the Establishment from June 29th till July 1st.
(1)The fission products (ultimate residues of spent fuel) are incorporated in heated glass to approximately 1100°C. The whole is poured in stainless steel containers. The fission products are an integral part of stable, compact and resistant glass. This process is called vitrification.
