COMMISSION OPINION

of 15 July 2010

relating to the plan for the disposal of radioactive waste arising from the COMURHEX II conversion facility, located at Pierrelatte in France, in accordance with Article 37 of the Euratom Treaty

(Only the French text is authentic)

2010/C 192/01

On 6 January 2010, the European Commission received from the French Government, in accordance with Article 37 of the Euratom Treaty, General Data relating to the plan for the disposal of radioactive waste arising from the COMURHEX II conversion facility.

On the basis of these data and additional information requested by the Commission on 5 February 2010 and provided by the French authorities on 4 March 2010, and following consultation with the Group of Experts, the Commission has drawn up the following opinion:

1. The distance between the facility and the nearest point on the territory of another Member State, in this case Italy, is 170 km.

2. Under normal operating conditions, the discharges of liquid and gaseous effluents will not cause an exposure liable to affect the health of the population in another Member State.

3. Solid radioactive waste is temporarily stored on site before being transferred to licensed treatment or disposal facilities located in France.

4. In the event of unplanned releases of radioactive effluents that may follow an accident of the type and magnitude considered in the General Data, the doses likely to be received by the population in another Member State will not be liable to affect the health of the population.

In conclusion, the Commission is of the opinion that the implementation of the plan for the disposal of radioactive waste in whatever form arising from the COMURHEX II conversion facility located at Pierrelatte in France, both in normal operation and in the event of an accident of the type and magnitude considered in the General Data, is not liable to result in the radioactive contamination of the water, soil or airspace of another Member State.
