Nuclear Waste Solution Life Cycle
This complete report delivers an IAEA-compliant evidential base with a fully costed business case. We conduct a comprehensive feasibility assessment that includes:
- Initial analysis to investigate suitable locations
- A delivery roadmap that considers regulatory requirements
- A map of the stakeholder environment
This stage demonstrates a working solution with community engagement, site characterization, and a test drillhole. Cold operations review for fuel transfer, placement, retrievability and safety procedures can also be completed with our technology partners and local providers.
As the final step, the deep drillhole repository is operationalized including fuel assembly transfer into custom-fit canisters, and emplacement. This includes:
- Regulatory compliance
- Continued stakeholder engagement
- Repository monitoring
- Material handling activities
- Retrieval procedures
