Plants and facilities for conditioning of radioactive materials have to fulfil the highest safety and quality regulations.

From the beginning of the design and construction up to fabrication and periodical maintenance and inspections on the installed plants, GNS provides complete support to its customers. The development of specialised facilities and continuous optimisation of serial production facilities and handling system is our concern.

Furthermore GNS performs basic research to develop new forward-looking process technologies such as “wet-oxidation” and “fluidized-bed-drying”.

Decommissioning strategies for safe dismantling of nuclear installations are becoming more important, besides elaboration of extensive concepts and feasibility studies for the treatment and conditioning of decommissioning wastes.

Services for all of the facilities developed by GNS include the licensing procedure and the technical documentation up to readiness for commissioning.

The licensing requirements for construction and operation of interim storage facilities, waste treatment facilities and for the transport of nuclear casks are complex. In order to obtain licences or permits, extensive documents must be prepared.

With more than 30 years experience GNS has an extensive stock of special equipment designed for the higher safety requirements for use in nuclear power plants.
