During this period, the Establishment treated 35 tons of spent fuel assemblies coming from EDF and Brünsbüttel's power plants.
From all treated assemblies, a total of 851 tons have been processed to date this year.
During this period, 20 canisters of vitrified fission products have been produced(1).
Since the beginning of the year, 409 canisters have been produced.
It should be noted that the facility of hulls compaction (ACC) produced 25 canisters of compacted residues.
Since the beginning of the year, 506 canisters have been produced.
