Press release

August 21, 2009

Treatment activity:

 
One of both plants took back his production on August 17th with, during this period, the treatment of 8 tonnes of  EDF's fuels.
From all treated assemblies, a total of  664 tons have been processed for recycling.

The vitrification and hulls compaction facilities also took back their production.
For these two weeks, in the vitrification facilities 10 canisters of vitrified fission products(1) have been produced.
Since the beginning of the year, 448 canisters have been produced.
The facility of hulls compaction (ACC) produced 15 canisters of compacted residues. Since the beginning of the year, 866 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.
