Tenders Are Invited For Research Laboratory Services – Geological Monitoring Of Drilling In The Barrois Limestone Countryside (Cfb) And Geotechnical Drilling For Hydrogeological Purposes (Cfgh) Of Cigéo

Research Laboratory Services – Geological Monitoring Of Drilling In The Barrois Limestone Countryside (Cfb) And Geotechnical Drilling For Hydrogeological Purposes (Cfgh) Of Cigéo. Law No. 91-1381 Of December 30, 1991 (Known As The “Bataille” Law) Established The Main Research Directions To Be Carried Out On The Management Of Hlw And Ma-Vl Waste. It Retained Three Areas Of Research: Separation And Transmutation, Long-Term Storage (Both Entrusted To The Cea) And Deep Storage (Entrusted To Andra). In 2005, Andra And The Cea Submitted To The State The Results Of Fifteen Years Of Research Carried Out On These Three Axes. Law No. 2006-739 Of June 28, 2006 On The Program Relating To The Sustainable Management Of Radioactive Materials And Waste Is Based On The Public Debate Of 2005 And On Research Evaluations. This 2006 Law Retained The Implementation Of Deep Storage As The Only Solution Capable Of Ensuring The Long-Term Safety Of Radioactive Waste And Set A Requirement For Reversibility Of At Least One Hundred Years. The 2006 Law Also Entrusted Andra With The Mission Of Designing And Installing A Reversible Storage Center In A Deep Geological Layer. Law No. 2016-1015 Of July 25, 2016 Specifies The Terms And Conditions For Creating A Reversible Storage Facility In A Deep Geological Layer For Long-Lived High And Medium Activity Radioactive Waste (Basic Nuclear Installation (Bni). The Project Corresponding To This Bni Is Called Cigéo For “Industrial Geological Storage Center”. On August 3, 2020, Andra Filed With The Ministry In Charge Of The Environment And Energy, A Public Inquiry Request File Prior To The Declaration Of Public Utility (Dup) Of The Cigeo Storage Center The Dup Decree As Well As The Decree Qualifying This “Operation Of National Interest” (Oin) Were Obtained On July 8, 2022. These Files Constitute The First Milestones Prior To A Series Of Authorizations Which Will Be Issued As The Project Progresses. The Cigéo Inb (Dac) Was Filed On January 16, 2023. The Processing Of This Application Is Expected To Last 5 Years. Files For Administrative Authorization Applications Will Also Be Submitted With A View To Carrying Out The Development Work Prior To The Construction Of The Cigéo Storage Center. The Preliminary Development Work Currently Being Studied Is: Geotechnical And Deep Drilling Work, Preventive Archeology Work, Construction Of Road Networks, Railways, Electricity And Water, Without Which The Construction And Then Operation Of The Cigéo Storage Center Are Not Possible. They Are The Subject Of A Set Of Regulatory Files Known As “Dr”, As Part Of The Regulatory Procedures Required By Both The Environmental Code And The Town Planning Code. The Submission Of Each Regulatory File Is Accompanied By The Updated Impact Study Of The Overall Cigéo Project, Which Identifies And Assesses The Environmental Impacts Of The Storage Center Project. And All The Operations Necessary To Carry Out
