Abstract
According to contracts concluded between Cog6ma and its utility customers, wastes produced at different stages of the reprocessing process at the UP2 and UP3-A La Hague, France, plants will be returned to the respective customers. As there is no packaging currently available for routine transport of these wastes, Cog6ma and Transnucl6aire have collaborated to determine acceptance criteria for future packagings that will be used to transport the wastes from La Hague. These criteria are intended to simplify package-handling conditions, while at the same time reducing personnel exposures and the risks of equipment contamination.
