Building 18: Operating Feedback from Cleaning and Dismantling of Glove Boxes and Shielding Lines

摘要

The Atomic Energy Commission's centre at Fontenay Aux Roses (CEA-FAR) was created in 1946. A radiochemical laboratory devoted to R&D programs focused on studies of irradiated fuel reprocessing processes, waste treatment processes and studies and production of transuranic elements was built in the early 1960s. The R&D program was finally halted on 30 June 1995[l-2]. The purpose of the building 18 clean-up program is to minimise the nuclear and conventional hazards and to reduce as much as possible the production of HLW and MLW during subsequent dismantling work [2]. The paper will deal with a short description of the operations as well as the lessons learned.
