Caption: At Marcoule the CEA has a specialist facility known as ATALANTE. It allows research to be carried out into the separation of high-level waste. This is known as hot chemistry, and it requires the handling of extremely radioactive material. Here we can see a filtration operation taking place in a glove box, as part of work on the separation of minor actinides. |
