COGEMA, the world leader of Reprocessing-Conditioning-Recycling service, has developed sophisticated technologies over the past 30 years to process the large quantities of fuels, whatever their origin, national (i.e. the EDF's program) or foreign (clients from Europe and Japan). In particular, COGEMA has constantly and continuously improved each step of the RCR strategy beginning by reprocessing technology which is now fully demonstrated and widely optimised. Waste management is following the same path of optimisation, in particular through the implementation of the Universal Canister strategy and more accurately by the implementation of the compaction unit ACC, which provides a realistic answer to the overall stake of waste volume reduction. Hulls and end-caps and technological waste will be fitted in the same type of package as for vitrified residues. This not only allows to reduce the volume of waste not open to surface disposal storage but also to reduce the number of transportations.
