A campaign processing spent fuel EDF is underway.

Since the beginning of the year, 106 tons have been processed for recycling.

• In the vitrification facilities 28 canisters of vitrified fission products⁽¹⁾ have been produced.

• The facility of hulls compaction produced 150 canisters of compacted residues.

 
>(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.
