The visit of the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) delegation to the production location of JSC “Pilot and Demonstration Center for Decommissioning of Uranium-Graphite Reactors” took place in Seversk on April 8-12, 2019. TENEX experts also took part in the visit.

During the visit, the French delegation learned about ROSATOM’s unique expertise in uranium-graphite reactors decommissioning, including argumentation of the optimum method of dismantling of the graphite stack in the industrial uranium-graphite reactor ADE-5, as well as comparative analysis of the irradiated graphite deactivation technologies.
