Retrieving and Conditioning Waste

Retrieving and Conditioning Waste

Rely on proven solutions for the recovery, treatment, and conditioning of your radioactive waste.

    • Develop safe processes for waste retrieval, treatment, and conditioning validated by nuclear safety authorities
    • Recover legacy or unconventional waste without an existing conditioning route
    • Develop safe conditioning solutions that meet interim storage and final disposal criteria, adapted to various waste forms such as liquids, sludges, and solids
    • Optimize project costs and timelines while minimizing technical and radiological risks

    • Accurately characterize your waste to tailor recovery strategies, sort waste types, and select the optimal disposal route
    • Deploy dedicated recovery tools (ROVs, teleoperated arms, suction heads, or grapples), designed and qualified according to  your operational needs
    • Integrate sorting and pre-treatment steps to reduce waste volumes and define the most suitable disposal route
    • Condition waste under controlled conditions, using an existing production standard or by developing a dedicated standard
    • Implement a proven qualification methodology covering recovery, treatment, and conditioning to secure operations on complex waste and meet safety requirements
    • Reduce intervention risks by using proven technologies adapted to radiological and accessibility constraints
    • Deploy customized solutions by optimizing waste routes for final disposal while controlling project costs and timelines
    • 30 years of experience in the recovery of legacy waste including resins, sludges, ashes, metals, and graphite-gas structural waste
    • Turnkey solutions adaptable to storage, radiation protection, and criticality constraints
