ANDRA - DAWN STORAGE CENTRES
Andra - Waste storage center to be visited in Soulaines-Dhuys, receiving a set of radioactive waste produced in France
Despite the anti-nuclear demonstrations recently, the best thing is to travel to objectively inform themselves about the management of radioactive waste. If only to reassure and understand why Andra envisages a third possible site, Cigéo, in the Meuse! If we all have the name of the Hague, this site is more discreet but equally important. In operation for over 25 years now, the Center for the Storage of Small and Medium-sized Waste, linked to the National Agency for Radioactive Waste Management, is located on the municipalities of Soulaines-Dhuys, La Ville-aux-Bois and Epothémont and extends over 95 hectares, of which 30 are dedicated to storage itself. The highly secure establishment receives all the low and medium radioactive waste produced in France. They come from nuclear power stations, research laboratories and hospitals. ID card requested for the visit.
