Responsible nuclear waste management

As both, a nuclear power plant and nuclear waste final repository licensee and operator, we have unique experience in optimizing strategies and solutions for nuclear waste management. We know that a well-planned waste management strategy not only saves storage space, cost, and time but also demonstrates to the public that nuclear waste is being responsibly managed and significant efforts are being made to minimize its environmental impact. 

Reduced waste volumes and waste management costs

The knowledge gained from developing our own processes, and decades of working with international customers have provided us a deep understanding of the nuclear waste management requirements. Our aim is to help our customers significantly reduce the waste volumes and waste management costs at nuclear power plants by optimizing the entire process from waste collection to final disposal.

Expertise over the nuclear waste lifecycle

We offer nuclear waste management solutions for new builds, operating nuclear power plants and plants under decommissioning. Tailored to customers' needs, the scope of our delivery can vary from small scale consultancy assignments to turnkey waste treatment system deliveries.
