conteneurs

Durable reinforced concrete containers

Since its establishment in 2000, CDB has a historical expertise in designing and producing reinforced concrete containers for the conditioning and storage of low and medium level radioactive waste.

These containers are used across all EDF nuclear power plants and by the French Atomic Energy and New Energies Commission (CEA).

Designed for surface storage at the Agence National pour la Gestion des Déchets RAdioactifs (Andra) facilities, these containers have undergone a 300-year durability demonstration, achieved through :

  • Development of high-performance concrete formulations

  • Specification of unique container geometries

  • Design and mastery of the industrial manufacturing process

  • Implementation of controls throughout the manufacturing process
