Treatment activity:
During this period, the UP2 800 and UP3 plants treated 35.6 tons of spent fuel. From all treated assemblies, a total of 917 tons have been processed to date this year.
During this period, 11 canisters of vitrified fission products have been produced(1) in R7 and 15 in T7, vitrification facilities. Since the beginning of the year, 693 canisters have been produced.
The facility of hulls compaction (ACC) produced 40 canisters of compacted residues. Since the beginning of the year, 991 canisters have been produced.

COGEMA will be at Cherbourg trade fair in the "Cité de la Mer" from October 29th to November 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.
