New AREVA said Monday that in recent months it has secured three contracts valued at 9 million euros ($10.7 million) for processing and disposal of radioactive waste at two French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission sites.
The French company will provide treatment of liquid chemical wastes, “of varying radiological intensity … ranging from very low level to medium activity” at the military research-focused facility in Fortenay-aux-Roses, according to a New AREVA press release.
The second contract, good for at least five years, extends AREVA’s existing deal to manage the waste treatment plant at the Caderache civil research center. Waste package management and general maintenance is covered under the contract.
Finally, New AREVA has also been assigned to provide maintenance at the Caderache facility’s former effluent treatment plant for 40 months, the release says.
Additional details of the contracts were not immediately available.
New AREVA, formed during the 2016 restructuring of Paris-based AREVA, offers nuclear life-cycle services including mining, enrichment, spent fuel recycling, and dismantlement.
