BNFL nuclear supercompactor being dismantled
Washington (Platts)--30Sep2004
The largest nuclear supercompactor in the world is being dismantled after having crushed its last piece of material from three DOE gaseous diffusion buildings in Oak Ridge, Tenn. The $13-million facility operated three years, processing up to 2.3-million pounds of metal a week, BNFL Inc. said yesterday. It saved the department roughly $100-million in disposal costs, the company said. BNFL Inc., the U.S. subsidiary of British Nuclear Fuels plc, and its parent company are discussing the possible use of the facility in the U.K., so it might be reassembled there, BNFL Inc. spokesman Colin Jones said.
