Treatment activity:
During this period, the plants treated 25 tons of spent fuel.
From all treated assemblies, a total of 370 tons have been processed to date this year.
During this period, 10 canisters of vitrified fission products have been produced(1) in R7 and 15 in T7, vitrification facilities. Since the beginning of the year, 415 canisters have been produced.
The facility of hulls compaction (ACC) produced 25 canisters of compacted residues. Since the beginning of the year, 557 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.
