Treatment activity:
During this period, the UP2 800 and UP3 plants treated 320 Kg of spent fuel. From all treated assemblies, a total of 653 tons have been processed to date this year.
During this period, 5 canisters of vitrified fission products have been produced(1) in T7, vitrification facility. Since the beginning of the year, 567 canisters have been produced.
The facility of hulls compaction (ACC) produced 20 canisters of compacted residues. Since the beginning of the year, 747 canisters have been produced.
The actuality, it is also...
The UP2 and UP3 facilities have restarted after work of preventive or corrective maintenance and controls according to regulations.
(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.
