8 – Surface installationsSuch a building would operate permanently twenty-four hours a day for 225 days a year. Forreference, the throughputs considered in the study are:- 5,000 primary B packages per year,- 400 C0 primary packages per year, then 600 or 700 C1 to C4 primary packages per year(according to the scenarios),- production capacity for 1,400 B disposal packages on average per year,- production capacity of 600 to 700 C disposal packages per year.8.2.3 Surface building for receiving spent fuel and placing it in containersShould spent fuel disposal be considered (UOX and MOX), the processing building will have to beextended to receive and condition it before transfer to the underground installations. The buildingcould be an extension linked to the previous one.Figure 8.2.2Building for spent fuel8.3 Industrial and administrative zonesThe industrial zone covers a surface area of around 35 ha. It is organised around the construction shaft.These installations group in particular:- the construction shaft operating buildings;- the workshops for preparing the construction materials (drift liners, etc.);- equipment maintenance and repair shops (electrical, hydraulic, mechanical, electro-mechanical,welding, wiring, etc.);- service buildings (warehouses, stores, core library, concrete laboratory, etc.).DOSSIER 2005 ARGILE -ARCHITECTURE AND MANAGEMENT OF A GEOLOGICAL DISPOSAL SYSTEM325/495
