The activity generating the emissions is nuclear waste storage construction, interim, for high level radioactive waste before final repository. The reference product is nuclear waste storage, interim, for high level radioactive waste before final repository. This is an immobile infrastructure, representing the construction of a nuclear waste storage, interim, for high level radioactive waste before final repository. The infrastructure has a capacity for approximately 20,000 m3 of conditioned waste. The interim nuclear waste storage uses an area of approximately 32000 m2 industrial area. Half of this area (16000 m2) is accounted for in this module and the other half is accounted for in the module "nuclear waste storage, interim, for low level radioactive waste before final repository". The construction time of the facility is 5 years and the operating time is 55 years. The process includes building materials, energy consumption during construction and decommiddioning (electricity and diesel oil), land use and decommission from dismantling of the buildings. The reference product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary ordinary transforming activity.
