Status of safety in nuclear facilities - 2020 edition 68p_RIGN_2020_EN.indd 2 16/07/2021 06:28 2-3 Message from the CEO Philippe Knoche The year 2020 will remain a very exceptional one. The global health crisis that has plagued us for well over a year now has required us to adapt our organizations, our working methods, and even our ways of thinking in order to continue to conduct our production activities while maintaining control over nuclear safety, environmental protection, radiation protection, and occupational safety. Orano’s results for 2020 in terms of nuclear safety, must take into account. It is also a reminder as to the industrial security and radiation protection are very specific features of the activities we carry out on a nevertheless mixed. daily basis at our fuel cycle facilities, which involve both chemical and radioactive components. They therefore require a very high order of exigency. irst of all, our organizations demonstrated excellent resilience to the effects of the COVID By analyzing the root causes of these events and F crisis, particularly during the periods of implementing counter measures, we must succeed in lockdown, allowing us to keep our plants operating avoiding their recurrence. The experience feedback loop safely and to continue executing projects with the is essential to our continuous progress approach. To be support of our subcontractors. The number of safety- effective and achieve ongoing improvement requires related events has been very limited. Several factors better sharing between the different sites belonging to contributed to these results. I would like to emphasize our Group and a clear collective memory of past lessons the constant mobilization of all our employees, which learned. This will be one of our key areas to advance in enabled us to keep our plants running smoothly under 2021, a year which also marks the beginning of our new the difficult conditions imposed by the application of environmental safety and health, safety and radiation strict health measures. Initial feedback has also shown protection policies, which are linked to protected that the shorter management loops which the situation interests.

In counterpoint to these good results, a level 2 event on the INES safety scale was registered with the French Nuclear safety and occupational safety belong to our Nuclear Safety Authority. The event involved internal core values, and we must individually and collectively contamination of one of our employees, in excess of the aim for the highest standards to fulfill them. regulatory threshold, during an operation in a glove box, though no impact on the employee’s health is This annual report from the General Inspectorate allows anticipated. Within Orano, we have to go back more than us to measure the progress we have made and to identify ten years to find an event of this level, also involving the areas for improvement on which we still need to internal contamination. This event, which must be taken work. I encourage you to read it, to appropriate it and to in conjunction with other less serious radiation share it with your teams. protection events, is a strong warning signal that we General Inspectorate Annual Report 68p_RIGN_2020_EN.indd 3 16/07/2021 06:28 Vision of the Inspector General Pascal Wilz Based on a review of key indicators, analysis of reported events, and the lessons learned from inspections and various observations, 2020 has been a year of contrasts in nuclear safety. Safety and radiation protection were managed effectively during the lockdown period. However, in the annual results, there has been a worsening in some of the indicators. Ambitious action plans are being implemented to improve performance in safety and radiation protection. This annual report by the General Inspectorate Key results deals with industrial risk prevention, and assesses management of nuclear safety and radiation In 2020, there were 146 significant events reported protection for the year 2020 within the scope of by Orano or originating with Orano: 1 of these was at Orano’s activities and facilities. 1 level 2 of the INES scale, while 7 were at level 1 and 138 at level 0. he report is based on findings made during The level 2 event, the first in nearly 10 years within implementation of the annual inspection the scope of Orano’s activities, concerned a case of the program, and incorporates analyses of regulatory limit for exposure of an employee of the Group T being exceeded. events impacting safety, radiation protection and the environment, as well as the lessons After seeing a gradual reduction, the number of level 1 learned from those events.

KALIFA AREVA TN, 1 Rue des Hérons, 78180 Montigny-le-Bretonneux – France ABSTRACT AREVA has long experience in transportation and industrial-scale reprocessing of RR UAl spent fuel. Over 23 tons of RR UAl type fuels have been reprocessed at AREVA’s facilities in France, both in Marcoule and La Hague plants. Furthermore, More than 100 RR fuels transportations per year are carried out by AREVA (for fresh and spent fuels). Benefiting from its past experience, AREVA proposes to detail in pictures all the stages of a (Research Reactor Spent Fuel) RRSF reprocessing from its evacuation from reactor site to its corresponding post- reprocessing vitrified waste production and management. In order to comply with its customers growing needs in terms of RRSF management, AREVA is also developing new RRSF reprocessing capacities in the La Hague UP2-800 facility based on the same process principles. This new TCP facility is planned to reprocess several types of RRSF including both UAl and U3Si2 RRSF. 1. Introduction Reprocessing is one of the today-available options for managing back-end of Research Reactor fuel cycle. As described in figure 1 below, this solution offers to RR: - Non-proliferation: reducing 235U enrichment of RRSF from 20-93% to below 2%, - Final waste management optimization: standardizing final waste package and reducing volume and radio-toxicity, removing IAEA safeguards on final waste, - Sustainability of RRSF back-end management: long-lasting solution, re-use of valuable material for civilian purposes i.e.

  • Industrialization of a Small Sludge Retrieval System
    WM'05 Conference, February 27-March 3, 2005, Tucson, AZ WM - 5220 THE REPROCESSING PLANT OF THE FUTURE : A SINGLE EXTRACTION CYCLE P. Bretault, P. Houdin SGN, 1 rue des Hérons, Montigny-le-Bretonneux, 78 182 Saint Quentin-en-Yvelines, France JL. Emin COGEMA, 2 rue Paul Dautier, BP 4, 78141 Velizy-Villacoublay, Cedex, France P. Baron CEA Marcoule, BP 171, 30207 Bagnols-sur-Ceze, France ABSTRACT In France, COGEMA has been reprocessing spent nuclear fuel on an industrial scale for over 40 years, and has consistently worked to optimize facility design and operations. In COGEMA-La Hague’s UP3 reprocessing plant, to achieve the necessary decontamination needed to produce purified uranium and plutonium, five extraction cycles were implemented and used at start-up: first cycle for separation of fission products, uranium and plutonium, two uranium purification cycles and two plutonium purification cycle. By modifying processes at the design stage and making adjustments during operations, we saw that further decontamination of uranium could be achieved with only one cycle. Radiological specification of plutonium was also obtained at the end of the first plutonium purification cycle. These good performance levels were taken into account for the design of the UP2-800 plant where uranium is purified using a single cycle, and for the recent R4 facility which features only one plutonium purification cycle. Relevant information on extraction cycles in first-generation French reprocessing plants (UP1 and UP2-400) as well as design characteristics for the extraction cycles of reprocessing facilities currently operating at the COGEMA-La Hague plant is given. Experience shows that we can obtain adequate performance levels using only three cycles.
