Waste recovery and conditioning
Optimized solutions for recovery, treatment and conditioning of waste based on more than 30 years’ experience.
-
Waste recovery and conditioning aims to develop and qualify specific recovery processes and new packages that meet the safety authorities’ requirements.
This means in some cases:
- Recovering stored waste for which there was no suitable conditioning process when the workshop was in operation
- Developing safe conditioning processes compatible with existing interim or final disposal.
-
Orano’s waste recovery and conditioning solutions are based on:
- A waste characterisation
- The development and qualification of special recovery tools based on the characteristics of the waste to be recovered: ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle), remotely operated arms, suction heads, grippers, etc.
- Sorting and pretreatment (e.g. decontamination) of waste, where necessary, to determine the best waste stream from a technical and economic point of view
- Waste conditioning in accordance with an existing production baseline or development of a special production baseline.
- Tailor-made recovery solutions adapted to the storage conditions and the level of radiological activity
- Risk minimzation using proven technologies and methods for waste recovery, sorting, and conditioning
- Project costs and duration optimisation
- Expertise from existing waste streams
-
- Experience feedback on waste recovery projects
- Turnkey solutions
- Design and qualification of recovery tools
- Technical and economic optimisation of conditioning choices in view of existing or newly created production baselines
