NUKEM Technologies GmbH services

Solid waste is produced during operation and also during decommissioning and dismantling of nuclear facilities. Reducing the volume and binding the radioactivity is vital for the safe and cost-effective storage of waste. For the purpose of optimising volume reduction, residual material for the appropriate processing procedures is initially sorted manually or by remote control. We provide proven and innovative technologies for all areas from sorting to processing solid waste.

Liquid waste is generated both during operation and the decommissioning and dismantling of nuclear facilities. Reducing the volume and binding the radioactivity is vital for the cost-effective and safe storage of waste. To this end, radioactive waste is initially compressed as much as possible and, in subsequent processing procedures, treated and packaged so as to be suitable for storage in final repository. We provide proven and innovative technologies for all areas of processing liquid waste.

Measurement systems are used to determine characteristic parameters such as burn-up or residual activity. Thanks to our long-standing experience in the areas of fuel element handling, treatment of radioactive waste as well as decommissioning and dismantling of nuclear facilities, we have developed various equipment for these purposes. These systems cover the full range of monitoring tasks within the nuclear fuel cycle, from radiation protection to radiological waste characterisation.

We encourage you to benefit from our many years of experience in the areas of safety engineering, licensing, development of design concepts and technical documentation.

When developing holistic solutions for nuclear decommissioning, we rely on our extensive technical and licencing know-how.
