(CercleFinance.com) - Veolia today announces that it has begun deconstruction operations on five first generation nuclear submarines (SNLE) on behalf of Naval Group.
After the SNLE Le Tonnant, the 4 submarines Le Terrible, Le Foudroyant, L'Indomptable et L'Inflexible will in turn be deconstructed. Recyclable materials from this operation - mainly ferrous and non-ferrous metals - will be sorted and prepared for sale. 87% of these materials can be recycled. Each ship will be processed within 18 months.
“An unprecedented project in France, it continues on from the deconstruction operations on end-of-life ships, the former helicopter cruiser Jeanne d'Arc and the former cruiser Colbert, conducted by Veolia since 2014,” the group said.
