Nuclear site value development
Value development occurs at the end of the industrial use of facilities and constitutes a second life for the sites.
The business unit's activities are broken down into three business lines:
The dismantling operations themselves are organized into four stages, including a preparation stage and three separate phases of execution:
At each stage of the process, the business unit brings know-how to optimize management of the waste resulting from dismantling. To the extent possible, materials recovered during clean-up are processed and packaged to recycle reusable materials.
The French Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) is the business unit's leading customer.
The Nuclear site value development business unit includes some of the UP2-400 facilities at La Hague, the Marcoule and Cadarache sites, and the SICN sites in Veurey and Annecy.
Within the AREVA group, the Nuclear site value development operations are handled by AREVA NC.
