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
