Italy – Electromechanical equipment – Realization of the electromechanical system of the New Grouting Station and of some minor civil works for its adaptation to Buildings 41-41C-41K at Area 40

In the frame of the Decommissioning and Waste Management (D&WM) Program established by JRC Ispra, a New Grouting Station (NGS) must be realized in order to produce conditioned packages of Solid Radioactive Waste (SRW) to be stored at the Interim Storage Facility of the Site. The NGS requires all the necessary electromechanical systems needed to operate. These systems need to be installed inside three existing buildings inside the Controlled Area of Area 40. Among these systems are: The Handling System, whose scope is the handling of waste drums, overpacks, containers and final waste packages within the NGS facility; the Grouting System, whose function is to prepare wet mortar (grout) for immobilization of nuclear solid waste; all the service and auxiliary systems needed to safely operate the NGS facility. The NGS is key in the Decommissioning and Waste Management (D&WM) Program.
