Removing nuclear materials and irradiated fuel is essential for the release of the sites without radiological risks. Thanks to the GTRI program (Global Threat Reduction Initiative) nuclear materials of non-Italian origin have been removed. Radioactive waste is safely managed and stored in temporary repositories on the site.
To ensure environmental sustainability, all interventions are designed, implemented and monitored so as not to produce any impact, neither radiological nor conventional, on the environment.
EUREX (Enriched URanium Extraction) plant was built in 1965. The facility was made operational in 1970 and performed reprocessing activities for irradiated fuels. The plant operation period lasted until 1984. Since then, the safe maintenance of plants and structures has been implemented to protect people and environment. At the end of 2014, a request for the deactivation of the plant was submitted under art.55 of the Legislative Decree n. 230/95.
