Caorso Radioactive Waste Shipped To Slovakia For Treatment :: The Independent Global Nuclear News Agency

Caorso Radioactive Waste Shipped To Slovakia For Treatment :: The Independent Global Nuclear News Agency: The first of 33 scheduled transports aimed at moving about 5,600 drums of radioactive resin and sludge from the Caorso nuclear power plant in northern Italy has left for a facility near the Bohunice nuclear station in Slovakia for treatment and conditioning, Italy’s state-owned nuclear decommissioning and radioactive waste management company.



This is the second and final phase of the transfer programme, which is costing €37m and is expected to end in 2022. The waste is being shipped to Bohunice because Slovakian specialist nuclear company Javys won a public tender, Sogin said in an email.
