Involvement of France in G8 Global Partnership - bilateral projects

2002 - 2012 Equipment for the chemical weapon destruction (15 M) Low Level Radioactive Waste Incinerator (11 M) Securing of Spent Nuclear Fuel stored in Gremikha (46 M) Redirection of former military scientists (2.8 M) Bio-security (2 M) Disused Radioactive Sources securing (6 M) - RTG in Russia and DRS in Ukraine Nuclear Power Plant safety (2 M); AIDA (1 M) CEA is in charge of the Bilateral projects on behalf of the French government. Rosatom is our counterpart in Russia. Coordination with other countries and international organizations.

Securing of the Spent Nuclear Fuel stored on Gremikha site - the former soviet submarine base in North-West of Russia

Many French and Russian organizations have been involved: AREVA, RosRAO, SevRAO, Kourchatov institut, RIAR, NIKIET, IPPE, OKBM, VNIPIET, and many others. Most important Project Gremikha SNF securing Web site :http://www-pmg8.cea.fr/

Gremikha - SNF Two kinds of SNF

Alpha cores
U-Be fuel with 90% enrichment (U5) 8 cores stored in specific storage building 2 problematic cores : N910 high dose rate, after an accident N900 - prepared to be sunk (former final
disposal method)

SNF removal
Alpha VVR

VVR
SFA with 20% enrichment (U5) 900 SFA stored in poor conditions From those SFA : 2/3 deterioration is not very strong, so accepted for reprocessing 1/3 - severely deteriorated, so couldnt be accepted for reprocessing

SNF removal

Main steps
Radiation protection (equipment & cleaning up) Feasibility studies Refitting of infrastructure needed for SNF removal Detailed inventory of the VVR SFA Feasibility studies on the end-destination sites Safety studies (criticality, impact on environment and staff); Training to react to any accident situation Removal of non-deteriorated VVR SFA Refitting of the deteriorated VVR SFA New crane at ATOMFLOT Removal of the refitted VVR SFA Refitting of the infrastructure on the Mayak Preparation of the infrastructure renovation at RIIAR (to be funded be EBRD)
