Research and Development

Andra conducts research, development and dialogue with the interested parties to design and implement safe and accepted solutions to dispose of all king of waste.

Solutions for Low-Level, Long-Lived waste (LL-LLW)

Andra is developing solutions for the disposal of LL-LLW, for which there is currently no evacuation route. While not accepted in surface-based storage facilities because of its long-lived radionuclide activity,  the low specific activity of LL-LLW does not justify storage at 500 m depth in Cigéo.
