Orano performed two nuclear reactor decommissioning projects exhibiting its expertise throughout the entire decommissioning process: planning, program and project management, fuel handling, decontamination, dismantling, waste packaging and transport, and site restoration.
D&D Projects
Crystal River 3 Decommissioning
For the Crystal River 3 accelerated decommissioning project, Orano Decommissioning Services (ODS) applied its patented Optimized Segmentation strategy to plan for the removal, packaging, off-site transportation or onsite transfer, and disposal or onsite storage of all the reactor vessel and internals components in a total of only two Class A industrial type large containers, one Class C Type B large container, and two GTCC Rad Waste Canisters (excluding the head and the secondary waste).
