As a European pioneer, Cyclife offers integrated decommissioning and dismantling of nuclear facilities and radioactive waste management. By applying EDF’s unique waste-led decommissioning approach, Cyclife supports its customers to reduce costs and waste generation allowing optimisation of programmes, as well as recycling valuable material through its pan-European subsidiaries.
The three nuclear licensed sites of Cyclife based in the United Kingdom (Workington), Sweden (Nyköping) and France (Bagnols-sur-Cèze), treat very-low to low-level waste, providing services such as large component management, decontamination, waste volume reduction, material recycling, melting, incineration, pyrolysis, as well as consultancy to prepare and optimise on-site operations. They provide best available techniques for waste packaging, volume reduction, and material recycling. Cyclife has a commercial structure in Germany for direct contacts with the German market.
Cyclife, a subsidiary of EDF Group, also owns six engineering and expertise centres with highly-skilled engineers for the design of waste treatment facilities and workshops. They are able to define the full dismantling scenario of a given nuclear installation. They design tools, notably remotely operated, to perform dismantling operations. They all use state-of-the-art technologies including digital.
