Commission opinion of 3 August 2005 concerning the modified plan for the disposal of radioactive waste at the Aube Storage Centre located in France, in accordance with Article 37 of the Euratom Treaty Text with EEA relevance

COMMISSION OPINION

of 3 August 2005

concerning the modified plan for the disposal of radioactive waste at the Aube Storage Centre
located in France, in accordance with Article 37 of the Euratom Treaty

(2005/C 195/03)

(Only the French text is authentic)

On 13 December 2004, the European Commission received from the Government of France, in accordance
with Article 37 of the Euratom Treaty, General Data relating to the modified plan for the disposal of radio-
active waste at the Aube Storage Centre.

On the basis of the General Data and the additional information requested by the Commission on 3 March
2005 and provided by the French authorities on 5 April 2005, and following consultation with the Group
of Experts, the Commission has drawn up the following opinion:

1. The distance between the plant and the nearest point on the territory of another Member State, in this

case Belgium and Luxembourg, is approximately 150 km.

2. The modification envisaged results from developments in French national law which require certain
installations at the storage centre to have an authorisation for release of gaseous and liquid radioactive
effluents.

3. Solid radioactive waste is stored at the site or, if it is very low level waste, is transferred to an approved

storage site.

4. In normal operation, the modification envisaged will not cause an exposure that is significant from the

point of view of health for the population of another Member State.

5. In the event of unplanned releases of radioactive effluents resulting from an accident of the type and
magnitude considered in the General Data, the planned modification will not give rise to any significant
effect from the point of view of health on the population of another Member State.

In conclusion, the Commission is of the opinion that the implementation of the modified plan for the
disposal of radioactive waste in whatever form at the Aube Storage Centre in France, both in normal opera-
tion and in the event of an accident of the type and magnitude considered in the General Data, is not
liable to result in radioactive contamination, significant from the point of view of health, of the water, soil
or airspace of another Member State.
Commission opinion of 3 August 2005 concerning the modified plan for the disposal of radioactive waste at the TU5 Facility on the COGEMA Pierrelatte site in France, in accordance with Article 37 of the Euratom Treaty Text with EEA relevance

COMMISSION OPINION

of 3 August 2005

concerning the modified plan for the disposal of radioactive waste at the TU5 Facility on the
COGEMA Pierrelatte site in France, in accordance with Article 37 of the Euratom Treaty

(2005/C 195/02)

(Only the French text is authentic)

On 13 December 2004, the European Commission received from the Government of France, in accordance
with Article 37 of the Euratom Treaty, General Data relating to the modified plan for the disposal of radio-
active waste at the TU5 Facility on the COGEMA Pierrelatte site.

On the basis of the General Data and the additional information requested by the Commission on 3 March
2005 and provided by the French authorities on 5 April 2005, and following consultation with the Group
of Experts, the Commission has drawn up the following opinion:

1. The distance between the plant and the nearest point on the territory of another Member State, in this

case Italy, is approximately 175 km.

2. Among the modifications to the TU5 facility described in the General Data, it is noted that since 2002
the facility converts uranyl nitrate from the COGEMA Marcoule site causing discharges of 3H and 14C in
the gaseous and liquid effluents.

3. During normal operation, the gaseous and liquid effluents released from the modified TU5 installation
including 3H and 14C will not cause an exposure of the population in other Member States that is signif-
icant from the point of view of health.

4. In the event of unplanned releases of radioactive effluents resulting from an accident of the type and
magnitude considered in the General Data, the modification will not give rise to any significant effect
from the point of view of health on the population of another Member State.

In conclusion, the Commission is of the opinion that the implementation of the modified plan for the
disposal of radioactive waste in whatever form at the TU5 Facility on the COGEMA Pierrelatte site 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 radioactive contamination, significant from the point of view of
health, of the water, soil or airspace of another Member State.
