New building for the temporary storage of spent fuel at Tihange
Since May 2020, Electrabel has been constructing a new building on the site of the Tihange nuclear power plant. The building is called SF² (Spent Fuel Storage Facility) and will house reinforced containers for spent fuel elements coming from the electricity generation of the three units at the site. The construction and operation of this building is necessary for the temporary storage of spent fuel on the site with a view to the decommissioning of the facilities and pending a final decision on the storage of the spent fuel.
