Objetivo THE MAIN OBJECTIVE OF THE PROGRAMME IS TO CONCEIVE, TO DEVELOP AND TO APPLY AT BELGONUCLEAIRE'S PU FUEL FABRICATION PLANT A SERIES OF TECHNIQUES, WORKING PROCEDURES AND EQUIPMENT AIMING AT A MINIMISATION OF THE VOLUME AND PU CONTENT OF THE WASTE ARISING DURING THE OPERATION OF THE PLANT AND/OR AT THE DISMANTLING OF THE INSTALLATIONS. THE AMOUNT AND THE NATURE OF THE PU CONTAMINATED WASTE GENERATED BY FUTURE PU FUEL FABRICATION PLANTS HAVE BEEN ESTIMATED WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF PAST R&D PROGRAMMES. IN THE PRESENT PROGRAMME, THE INTERESTS OF WHICH ARE OF BOTH AN ECOLOGICAL AND AN ECONOMICAL NATURE, THE VARIOUS WASTE STREAMS WILL BE CHARACTERIZED IN A QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE WAY IN ORDER TO ALLOW THE ELABORATION OF A WASTE MINIMISATION STRATEGY BY THE DEVELOPMENT AND APPLICATION OF TECHNIQUES, CONCEPTS AND SYSTEMS LEADING TO A REDUCTION OF THE VOLUME AND/OR PU CONTENT OF THE VARIOUS WASTE FORMS PRODUCED. THE PRINCIPLE OF REDUCTION OF THE WASTE AT THE ORIGINATING SOURCE WILL BE PUT INTO PRACTICE UP TO A MAXIMUM. B1. DETERMINATION OF THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE EQUIPMENT USED AT THE BELGONUCLEAIRE PLANT FOR MEASURING THE PU CONTENT OF THE WASTE. B2. RESULTS FROM THE APPLICATION OF TECHNIQUES, CONCEPTS AND SYSTEMS FOR : B2.1. - THE CONFINEMENT OF PU BEARING POWDERS WITHIN TIGHT EQUIPMENT. B2.2 : - THE LIMITATION OF THE CONTAMINATION WITHIN THE GLOVE BOXES. B2.3 : - THE TRANSFER OF PU BEARING MATERIALS IN REUSABLE CONTAINERS. B2.4 : THE TRANSFER OF PU BEARING MATERIALS USING NEW PURGED POSTING SYSTEMS. B2.5 : - THE REDUCTION OF WASTE WITH HIGH PU CONTENT BY THE GRADUAL REPLACEMENT OF DESTRUCTIVE TESTING BY NON DESTRUCTIVE TESTING. B3. QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE CHARACTERISATION OF THE WASTE GENERATED AT A PU FUEL FABRICATION PLANT; IDENTIFICATION OF THE WASTE PRODUCING FABRICATIONS STEPS; CLASSIFICATION OF THE WASTE AS A FUNCTION OF THE CONDITIONING AND FINAL DISPOSAL CRITERIA.
