Abstract
Since the late 60s fuel elements for nuclear power reactors are produced in two fabrication facilities in the city of Hanau in the state of Hesse in Germany Adjacent to the uranium facility the MOX facility is located with two old fabrication lines representing an annual capacity of about 25 tonnes of MOX. In a new building two new fabrication lines with an annual capacity of 120 tonnes MOX are installed. Siemens is performing the following MOX-activities at the Hanau site.
