<strong>Waste</strong> Stream<br />

Dry Active <strong>Waste</strong><br />

<strong>Waste</strong> Origin<br />

Dry active waste is generated through routine and<br />

maintenance operations in the <strong>EPR</strong> nuclear island.<br />

The waste consists of contaminated personal<br />

protection equipment, monitoring swabs, plastic,<br />

clothing, contaminated tools and other process<br />

consumables. Mainly arising during outages these<br />

wastes are collected into plastic bags. The bags<br />

are put into a cast iron 200 l drum or container.<br />

<strong>Waste</strong> Physical Description<br />

Pre-compacted heterogeneous waste<br />

(technological waste or operational waste)<br />

segregated pieces of metal, plastic, clothes,<br />

glassware, rubble.<br />

Nature of <strong>Radioactive</strong> Material<br />

Contamination with fission products and activation<br />

products.<br />
