In addition to its industrial activities in radioactive waste treatment, Cyclife also provides specialized services for the decommissioning of nuclear facilities, drawing on a multitude of engineering skills and mobilising EDF Group resources.<br /><br /><strong>Based in Lyon, Cyclife Engineering delivers project engineering and design engineering to support the decommissioning and dismantling of nuclear equipment, at the international level but also in France, for pressurized water technology. Growing steadily since its creation in 2019, Cyclife Engineering, supports the EDF Group’s international growth (international team, more than 100 employees) in the decommissioning market for nuclear facilities light water reactors, pressurised water reactors (PWR), boiling water reactors (BWR) and fast breeder reactors (FBR), and other reactor technology requiring detailed high-value-added engineering solutions. Cyclife Engineering has extensive experience in the dismantling of large components such as vessel heads, vessel internals, steam generators, bioshields, as well as in the design and delivery of new radioactive waste treatment sites or the modification of existing sites.</strong><br /><br />Based in “Gard”, Cyclife Digital Solutions is the subsidiary dedicated to digital innovation supporting the nuclear industry across the entire life cycle of facilities. For the last ten years Cyclife Digital Solutions, has been developing and offering tools to simulate and evaluate operations in industrial and nuclear environments throughout the life cycle of a facility thanks to 3D in real time. Cyclife Digital Solutions has developed the software DEMplus® for nuclear, which has won several industry awards. This decision-making tool simulates scenarios for operations and defines outcomes such as costs, timelines, waste products, and dosimetry. Based on these outcomes, the customer can seek to optimise the initial scenario or establish alternative strategies.<br /><br />Based in Lyon and created in 2019 by EDF and Veolia, Graphitech is a subsidiary committed to the decommissioning of reactors that use graphite technology (UNGG, Magnox, AGR and RBMK designs). Graphitech designs specialised machines and remote intervention platforms to facilitate the decommissioning of graphite moderated nuclear facilities (remotely operated systems for breaking up concrete and metal structures, tools for extracting bricks and piles of activated graphite, design of systems and articulated arms). Graphitech is currently developing the technology and optimal scenario for the decommissioning of the French reactor Chinon A2 by 2028. Graphitech aims to meet the decommissioning needs of the 60 or so graphite moderated reactors in the world, located in France, the United Kingdom, Spain, Italy, Lithuania, and Japan.
