Durable Conditioning of Radioactive & Special Waste using Thermal Processes
Produce a stable, inert, safe vitrified package suitable for the final disposal of your waste.
-
- Treat waste with complex radiological or chemical characteristics requiring specific conditioning technologies
- Implement a conditioning process that remains stable over time, minimizing environmental and human impact
- Integrate versatile confinement matrices capable of incorporating a wide range of chemical elements
-
- Control chemical and radiological risks by conditioning complex waste into an inert, durable waste form that meets long-term disposal requirements
- Adapt the vitrification process to your specific waste streams :
- Drum vitrification process (DEM&MELT)
- Cold crucible incineration-vitrification (vitrification of ashes from organic incineration)
- Plasma incineration-vitrification (incineration of organics followed by vitrification and metal melting)
- Calcination with hot or cold crucible
- Reduce the final waste volume by a factor greater than 5 while ensuring the acceptability of waste forms for long-term disposal routes
- Easily integrate our technologies into your existing facilities thanks to proven, operable, and maintainable processes
- Optimize costs and lead times by selecting the vitrification solution best suited to your waste and industrial constraints
- Benefit from experienced support throughout the project, from feasibility study to industrial implementation, for an optimized and sustainable solution
-
- +50 years of experience in vitrification
- +10,000 metric tons of glass produced, incorporating 360 million TBq of beta-gamma activity
- A unique technology portfolio built from the operational feedback of Orano and its partners
- Strong industrial references: implementation at Orano’s sites, collaborations with the CEA, and international projects (Fukushima, Idaho Calcine)
- Ongoing developments for specific waste streams (such as sludge, soil, and sorbents) from Fukushima site remediation operations
