The concrete treatment unit for the dismantling of the multipurpose
research reactor in Karlsruhe was another milestone in
2009. This reactor is one of a few nuclear facilities which are
being dismantled on the premises of the former research center
Karlsruhe, now called KIT (Karlsruhe Institute for Technology).
With the concrete treatment unit, radioactive concrete is automatically
crushed, homogenized and, now contaminate-free,
packed in containers which are suitable for interim storage.
The project including the planning, manufacture, delivery and
installation of the equipment for the treatment and packing of
contaminated concrete waste started in March 2009. In late 2009
the trial operation was successfully completed with the acceptance
test by a surveyor and inspecting authority. Our customer was so
satisfi ed that we also received the order for the installation of
the concrete treatment unit in the reactor building!
