Description
The nuclear license application for a pilot plant for spent fuel conditioning was submitted by DWK (the German Reprocessing Company) to the licensing authority on May 6, 1986. The facility's main tasks are: conditioning (disassembly/cutting) and encapsulation of spent fuel in final disposal casks; encapsulation of radioactive waste in a form suitable for final storage; unloading of radioactive waste containers, e.g., vitrified HAWC from transport casks into storage casks suitable for interim and/or final storage; maintenance of transport and storage casks
