Our responsibility
Cyclife is focused on combining technical and economic performance with sustainable improvements in nuclear safety, industrial safety, radiation protection and environmental management. Via its activities at the Centraco site and producer's sites, Cyclife France subjects radioactive waste and materials to volume reduction and conditioning processes in order to limit the space occupied at Andra's storage facilities. Where possible, some waste is recovered for re-use.
