Progress made on the interim option in the U.S. used nuclear fuel storage conversation …
On May 20, 2015, WCS and AREVA
announced
the signing of terms of agreement to develop a Consolidated Interim
Storage Facility (CISF) in Texas to accept and store used nuclear fuel
from U.S. reactors. This agreement details AREVA’s role and activities,
including as the exclusive subcontractor for
the design, development, construction, operation, and maintenance of
the CISF project, and the transportation of used nuclear fuel and
greater-than-Class C (GTCC) waste for the project.
On May 21, 2015, AREVA
announced
an agreement with NAC International to jointly support the licensing,
design, construction and operation of the CISF project in Texas, led by
WCS. Combined, AREVA and NAC represent 62 percent of existing dry
storage systems in the U.S., including 78 percent
of used nuclear fuel stored at sites where there is no longer an
operating nuclear facility.
