During the plant operation period, the wet cooling towers served for cooling the water of the output secondary circuit
During the plant operation period, the barrier placed on the River Po was used to optimise water supply, by channelling the water needed for the operation
The turbine building, divided in three levels and covered by an external metallic structure, previously hosted the secondary plant system to transform heat into electric energy
There are two interim facilities for radioactive waste in the plant, called repository 1 and 2 and a temporary buffer, the test tank, which host all previous waste of the site within different types of tanks
During the plant operation period, the Test Tank premise hosted two spare tanks for the collection of purified water from radwaste system
The purification of radioactive liquids produced spent ion exchange resins (filters) during the operation period of the plant (reactor cooling water, fuel pool, radioactive discharges)
During the operation period, the waste disposal premise was used to host drainage systems and devices to monitor liquid effluents before they are discharged
In 2016, the premises once used for ventilation systems were emptied from accumulators and other parts of the emergency cooling system
In order to complete the plant decommissioning, radioactive waste should be immobilised in a cementitious matrix within a specific cementation station to be implemented according to the storage requirements of the National Repository
The reactor building hosts most of the site radioactivity. For this reason, dismantling operations of its components (systems, vessel and others) are more complex to carry out
The auxiliary building, close to the reactor building, hosts the systems that enabled the reactor functioning (including the purifiers’ pool and the fuel pool SFP)
