Treatment activity:
During this period, the UP2 800 and UP3 plants didn't treat.
From all treated assemblies, a total of 1100.5 tons have been processed to date this year.
During this period, 15 canisters of vitrified fission products have been produced(1) in T7 and R7, vitrification facilities.
Since the beginning of the year, 651 canisters have been produced.
The facility of hulls compaction (ACC) produced 13 canister of compacted residues.
Since the beginning of the year, 1036 canisters have been produced.
The actuality, it is also...
One shipment of 4 cask (TN17/2) of 28 spent fuel assemblies from Stade (Germany) arrived at the Valognes railway terminal on the December, 16th at 13 pm. It correspond to 10.2 uranium tons, which allowed to supply 430 000 persons with electricity during one year.
(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.
