Waste packages intended for projected disposal facilities With regard to disposal facilities currently being studied, the waste acceptance specifications have of course not yet been defined. Andra cannot therefore issue approvals to govern the production of packages for LLW-LL, HLW-LL or ILW-LL waste. Under these conditions, the production of packages of these types of waste is subject to ASN approval on the basis of a file established by the waste producer called “packaging baseline requirements”. This file must demonstrate that on the basis of existing knowledge and the currently identified requirements of the disposal facilities still under study, the packages display no unacceptable behaviour, and concerning, for example, the geometry and the maximum masses of the packages, waste that is prohibited or subject to restriction or the dose rate or radiological activity limits. This provision notably also avoids delaying legacy Waste Retrieval and Packaging (WRP) operations in facilities being decommissioned (see chapter 14). Within the framework of the PNGMDR 2016-2018, the waste producers were asked to study the acceptability of the waste packages intended for Cigéo. In its opinion 2020-AV-0369 of 1 December 2020, and in a letter of 23 July 2021, ASN made several observations relative to the methodology for producing these preliminary acceptance specifications for Cigéo, the chosen parameters and the envisaged modes of disposal. It considered in particular that the methodology for producing these preliminary acceptance specifications for Cigéo was satisfactory. It nevertheless noted that several parameters, qualitative in particular, should be consolidated in order to facilitate their verification. Furthermore, as the producers’ analysis of package acceptability could only be considered as partial, notably in view of the chosen mode of disposal, it will have to be carried out again on the basis of the version of the preliminary acceptance specifications for Cigéo incorporated into this facility’s creation authorisation application, submitted in January 2023. Checks and inspections Alongside Andra’s surveillance of approved packages, ASN checks the steps taken by the licensee to correctly implement the requirements of the authorisation and to master the packaging processes. For waste packages intended for disposal facilities still under study, ASN is particularly attentive to ensuring that the packages comply with the conditions of the issued packaging approvals. Through inspections, ASN also ensures that Andra takes the necessary steps to verify the quality of the packages accepted in its disposal facilities. This is because ASN considers that Andra’s role in the approvals issuing process and in monitoring the measures taken by the waste package producers is vital in guaranteeing package quality and compliance with the safety case of the waste repositories. ● Awaiting commissioning ✱ Comes under the status of ICPE ▲ Comes under the status of DBNI BNI 35 Zone de gestion des effluents liquides (ZGEL) traitement et conditionnement CDS ▲ traitement et conditionnement BNI 177 ● Déchets irradiants ou alpha issus du démantèlement (Diadem) entreposage BNI 160 Centre de traitement et de conditionnement de déchets de faible activité (Centraco) traitement et conditionnement BNI 171 Atelier de gestion avancée et de traitement des effluents (Agate) traitement BNI 164 Conditionnement et entreposage de déchets radioactifs (Cedra) entreposage BNI 37-A Station de traitement des déchets solides (STD) traitement et conditionnement Rotonde ✱ conditionnement et entreposage Établissement de La Hague traitement, conditionnement et entreposage BNI 66 Centre de stockage de la Manche (CSM) stockage Centre industriel de regroupement, d’entreposage et de stockage (Cires) ✱ conditionnement, entreposage et stockage BNI 149 Centre de stockage de l’Aube (CSA) conditionnement et stockage Bâtiment d’entreposage de déchets tritiés ▲ entreposage BNI 74 Entreposage de chemises de graphite irradiées entreposage BNI 173 ● Installation de conditionnement d’entreposage des déchets activés (Iceda) conditionnement et entreposage BNI 138 Établissement du Tricastin ex-Socatri tri BNI 175 Entreposage confiné de résidus issus de la conversion (Écrin) entreposage La Hague Saclay Saint-Laurent-des-Eaux Morvilliers Bugey Tricastin Marcoule Cadarache Malvési Soulaine-Dhuys Valduc Liquid Effluent Management Zone (ZGEL) TREATMENT AND CONDITIONING TREATMENT AND CONDITIONING Irradiating or alpha waste from decommissioning facility (Diadem) STORAGE ● Low-level waste treatment/processing and packaging centre (Centraco) TREATMENT AND CONDITIONING Advanced effluent management and treatment facility (Agate) TREATMENT Conditioning and storage of radioactive waste (Cedra) STORAGE Solid Waste Treatment Station TREATMENT AND CONDITIONING CONDITIONING AND STORAGE STEMA ▲ TREATMENT AND CONDITIONING La Hague facility TREATMENT, CONDITIONING AND STORAGE Manche repository (CSM) DISPOSAL Industrial grouping, storage and disposal centre (Cires) ✱ CONDITIONING, STORAGE AND DISPOSAL Aube repository (CSA) CONDITIONING AND DISPOSAL Tritiated waste storage building ▲ STORAGE BNI 74 Irradiated graphite sleeves storage STORAGE Activated waste packaging and storage facility (Iceda) CONDITIONING AND STORAGE Tricastin facility, formerly Socatri SORTING Contained storage of conversion residues (Écrin) STORAGE The main support facilities for radioactive waste management ASN Report on the state of nuclear safety and radiation protection in France in 2023 379 • 15 • Radioactive waste and contaminated sites and soils 15 05 08 11 04 14 06 07 13 AP 03 10 02 09 12 01
