ANDRA, ESPACE TECHNOLOGIQUE

The job of the Agence nationale pour la gestion des déchets radioactifs (Andra, national agency for the management of radioactive waste) is to design and install an industrial geological storage facility for radioactive waste at a depth of 500 metres in clay rock.
On the site of the underground facility, you can see a model of a storage gallery and find out about the scientific tests conducted on the rock.
In the technology gallery, see prototypes of machinery illustrating the principles of deep geological storage. The visit lasts from 2 to 2½ hours.
