Treatment activity:
During this period, the UP3 plants treated 16,7 tons of spent fuel assemblies from Philippsburg, german power plant.
From all treated assemblies, a total of 967 tons have been processed to date this year.
During this period, 23 canisters of vitrified fission products have been produced(1) in T7, vitrification facility.
Since the beginning of the year, 513 canisters have been produced.
The facility of hulls compaction (ACC) produced 22 canister of compacted residues.
Since the beginning of the year, 885 canisters have been produced.
(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.
