tailieunhanh - A nuclear owner/operator perspective on ways and means for joint programming on predisposal activities

Nuclear decommissioning is a worldwide competitive market. It is also the main source of radioactive waste from the nuclear energy field. In order to reduce the waste volume it is necessary to sort the actual radioactive waste to be disposed of and to separate them from other materials that could be recycled. | A nuclear owner operator perspective on ways and means for joint programming on predisposal activities EPJ Nuclear Sci.

Nuclear decommissioning is a worldwide competitive market. It is also the main source of radioactive waste from the nuclear energy field. In order to reduce the waste volume it is necessary to sort the actual radioactive waste to be disposed of and to separate them from other materials that could be recycled. Since 2015 Electricité de France EDF has gathered the waste management and dismantling WM amp D projects the related competences and human resources in the WM amp D field in a dedicated directorate DP2D and a company group called Cyclife including waste treatment facilities . Taking into account the experience gained by carrying out its own WM amp D projects as well as contributing to international cooperation EDF considers that integrating collaborative research and development R amp D on pre-disposal and waste management could be carried out following four main objectives 1 alignment of the application of regulatory frameworks through appropriate definition of criteria and rules for radioactive waste to enable sensible worldwide comparison of technics 2 improvement of technical and organisational aspects of nuclear reactors decommissioning using a demonstrator facility to be in operation at first for graphite reactors by 2022 3 development of new techniques to decontaminate homogenize metallic materials through a dedicated recycling route.
