In order to comply with National Nuclear Safety Commission Report after a Level 3 Incident at the Atheclaghque Nuclear Generation Station, the nuclear energy suppliers jointly-operate the Hektoen National Nuclear Fuel Reprocessing Centre. Located in Hektoen in the northern Gristol region, the Hektoen NNFRC has been in operation since 1968 and has a capacity of about 1,700 tonnes per year. The Hektoen NNFRC utilizes an aqueous nuclear reprocessing method known as PUREX where 96% of the spent nuclear fuel are recovered. The site also operates a deep geological repository adjacent to the site where the non-recyclable fission products are vitrified along with compacted nuclear control rod hulls and endplates.
In compliance with federal regulations, vitrified fission products and compacted waste from spent nuclear fuel received from foreign countries are returned to the country of origin.
