The Recycling business around the world
The Recycling business unit processes and recycles spent nuclear fuels. It extracts new energy resources and renders end waste in a safe, stable condition on behalf of customers in the power generation market. The business unit’s operations are principally based around 2 industrial sites in France: AREVA La Hague (the Manche region of France), for the processing of used fuel and end waste, and AREVA MELOX (Gard region), for the production of MOX (mixture of oxides) nuclear fuel assemblies.
La Hague: recycling used fuel
AREVA La Hague is the world’s leading center for the industrial recycling of nuclear used fuel. The site is located in the Manche region of France.
MELOX: production of MOX fuels
The MELOX plant, located in the Gard region of France, manufactures MOX fuel assemblies designed to supply light water reactors.
Plutonium recycling at Savannah River (USA)
AREVA and the Shaw Group Inc. produce MOX fuel from recycled military plutonium at the Mixed oxide Fuel Fabrication Facility (MFFF) plant in Savannah River.
