Figure 6: Sketch of the Pushing Robot transport and emplacement system with all necessary components in its testing configuration 4.3 Demonstration programme with C type waste package Due to the lack of space available in the Bure URL, it was decided to perform the demonstration tests in a surface facility. For this purpose, a former workshop in the vicinity of Saint-Etienne (Loire Department) has been rented. This building provides the necessary lifting means and length to simulate the emplacement process of a C type canister into a 100-m-long horizontal disposal cell. The components of the emplacement system are now being assembled. The test programme comprises demonstration tests, simulation tests, and tests to resolve operational disturbances. Once all the test configurations are passed and solved, a total of approx. 500 hours of operations will be simulated in order to obtain information on the reliability of the entire system and of each component. Emergency situations, for which remedial devices have been developed, will also be tested. 4.4 Achievements All the components have been designed in detail. The manufacturing of all the system components is also completed. The components are now progressively delivered to the test site between June 2008 and mid August 2008. After the individual components have been accepted on site (SAT) the demonstration programme will start in September and should last until the end of 2008. Figures 7 & 8 show the status of preparation of the shielding cask and of the test bench respectively. 266

Acknowledgements The development and demonstration of the German BSK 3 emplacement technology - as part of the IP ESDRED - is financed by the European Commission, the German Ministry of Economics and Technology represented by the project management agency Karlsruhe (PTKA) and the German nuclear industry represented by GNS. The latter in particular provides money for manufacturing the components of the emplacement system. The development and demonstration of the French Pushing Robot emplacement technology - as part of the IP ESDRED - is also co-financed by the European Commission within the frame of the 6 th Euratom Framework Programme (2002-2006).
