Treatment activity:
During this period, the UP3 plants treated 19.89 tons of spent fuel assemblies from Grohnde, german power plant.
From all treated assemblies, a total of 891.66 tons have been processed to date this year.
During this period, 11 canisters of vitrified fission products have been produced(1) in T7, vitrification facility.
Since the beginning of the year, 454 canisters have been produced.
It should be noted that the facility of hulls compaction (ACC) produced 16 canisters of compacted residues.
Since the beginning of the year, 808 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.
