"MOX fuel transport from Europe to Japan" guide
Back-end activity records
The Back-end activities represent 13% of the AREVA group's sales revenue. They are primarily based on recycling and the evaluation of used fuels. From waste management, through to the transportation of fuel or vitrified residues to the recycling of reusable materials, AREVA provides its power company clients the world over with its knowledge and expertise.
Management of nuclear waste and recycling of reusable materials
AREVA carries out waste recycling and management for its French and overseas clients in accordance with a very strict legislative framework.
Nuclear waste recycling and treatment
Recycling spent fuel is one of the key aspects of the nuclear industry. AREVA is at the cutting edge of this closed cycle technology.
Back end fuel cycle costs
Reprocessing-recycling and direct storage are two economically equivalent solutions according to a study by the OECD.
Return of vitrified residues from France to Germany
The return of vitrified residues to Germany lies in the framework of the contracts signed between AREVA NC and the German power companies.
Spent fuel shipment from Australia
The first maritime shipment of research reactor spent fuel from Australia to France initiates a new partnership between ANSTO, and the French AREVA NC.
Transport of MOX fuel from Europe to Japan
The first transport of MOX fuel from Europe to Japan initiated in 1999 the process of recycled nuclear fuel return from Europe to Japan.
Return shipment of vitrified residues from France to Japan
The return of vitrified residues to Japan lies in the framework of the contracts signed between AREVA NC and the 10 Japanese power companies.
Return shipment of vitrified residues from France to Switzerland
With sustainable development in mind, Switzerland opted for spent fuel reprocessing-recycling.
