El Consejo de Ministros autorizó la fabricación de 49 nuevos contenedores de combustible nuclear gastado que incorporaban la patente MAB (Módulo Auxiliar de Blindaje) de INGECID. Esta patente, cedida a Ensa, permitió reducir la radiación nuclear en los contenedores, haciendo viable el almacenamiento de todo el inventario de combustible en el Almacén Temporal Individualizado (ATI) de la Central Nuclear de Santa María de Garoña.
The contract, one of two authorized for the manufacture and supply of containers for the Almaraz (Cáceres), Trillo (Guadalajara), and Santa María de Garoña (Burgos) power plants, had a five-year execution period. ENRESA awarded Ensa the contract for the manufacture and supply of the containers for Garoña, currently in permanent shutdown, for an estimated value of €127.6 million, including the corresponding MABs, with the aim of having the first units ready in 2023.
This project consolidated INGECID's technological contribution to the nuclear sector, highlighting the importance of innovation applied to safe and efficient spent nuclear fuel storage solutions.
