Nuclear Decommissioning: Solutions for the Defuelling Phase at Engie Electrabel

For the energy provider Engie Electrabel, KARL HUGO is developing specialised equipment for nuclear decommissioning. The focus is on the defuelling phase, during which spent fuel is transferred safely into dry storage containers.

These containers weigh over 100 tonnes and require maximum precision at every stage of handling. KARL HUGO is responsible for developing, manufacturing and installing tailor-made equipment that is perfectly adapted to the existing infrastructure.
