Nuclear spent fuel conditioning facility (nuclear spent fuel conditioning facility construction)

Emissions generated by the activity within the product supply chain as described in ecoinvent v3.10. This is an immobile infrastructure representing the construction of a nuclear spent fuel conditioning facility. In the conditioning plant the spent fuel assemblies will be sealed in steel casks without treatment in the reprocessing plant and disposed of at the final disposal site. In this model the conditioning plant will be constructed at the same location as the packaging plant in the portal area of the final repository for high level radioactive waste. It is assumed that the plant area (22500 m2) will occupy half of the total portal area of the final repository (300 m ' 150 m). Of this 80% is built-up and 20% is green area. The operating period is assumed to be 20 years. The process includes land use building materials their decommission and machinery. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity. The reference product amount is 1.
