Great Pleasure

It is a great pleasure for me to deliver the keynote address this morning, opening the 18th International Symposium on the Scientific Basis for Nuclear Waste Management. On behalf of the Atomic Energy Commission of Japan, I would like to welcome all of you, particularly those who have travelled across the ocean to attend this symposium.

Set Up

Since the French Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) was founded in 1945 to carry out research programs on use of nuclear, and its application France has set up and run various types of installations : research or prototypes reactors, process study or examination laboratories, pilot installations, accelerators, nuclear power plants and processing facilities. Some of these are currently being dismantled or must be dismantled soon so that the DEN, the Nuclear Energy Division, can construct new equipment and thus have available a range of R&D facilities in line with the issues of the nuclear industry of the future. Since the 1960s and 1970s in all its centers, the CEA has acquired experience and know-how through dismantling various nuclear facilities. The dismantling techniques are nowadays operational, even if sometimes certain specific developments are necessary to reduce the cost of operations. Thanks to availability of techniques and guarantees of dismantling program financing now from two dedicated funds, close to 15 B€ for the next thirty years, for current or projected dismantling operations, the CEA’s Nuclear Energy Division has been able to develop, when necessary, its immediate dismantling strategy. Currently, nearly thirty facilities are being dismantled by the CEA’s Nuclear Energy Division operational units with its industrial partners. Thus the next decade will see completion of the dismantling and radioactive clean-up of the Grenoble site and of the facilities on the Fontenay-aux-Roses site. By 2018, the dismantling of the UP1 plant at Marcoule, the largest dismantling work in France, will be well advanced, with all the process equipment dismantled. After an overview of the French regulatory framework, the paper will describe the DD&R strategy, programme and feedback experience inside the CEA’s Nuclear Energy Division and its progress since ICEM 14 in 2011’s conference in Reims.

Speciation Calculation

AbstractBASSIST (Base Applied to Speciation in Solution, at Interfaces and SolubiliTy) is an applied thermodynamic database (TDB) for chemistry of long-lived radionuclides. This TDB is developed at the French Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) and concerns solution, sorption and dissolution equilibria. The order of the different steps necessary to elaborate this TDB are presented, from a critical review of experimental acquisitions until to a database compilation. Important concepts such as the heterogeneity of data, the coherence of database and the use of chemical analogies between elements are discussed by using an example of application of the TDB in speciation calculation. The TDB BASSIST is built by using "certified" data, such as selected values of the Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) and some uncertified data from literature. In the last part of this article, the choice of chemical analogies between elements, the impact of different sets of data on uranium(IV) speciation calculations are discussed.

This paper concerns an analysis regarding the performance of X-ray equipment as well as the radiological safety in veterinary facilities. Data were collected from 380 X-ray veterinary facilities countrywide during the on-site regulatory inspections carried out by the Greek Atomic Energy Commission. The analysis of the results shows that the majority of the veterinary radiographic systems perform within the acceptable limits; moreover, the design and shielding of X-ray rooms as well as the applied procedures ensure a high level of radiological safety for the practitioners, operators and the members of the public. An issue that requires specific attention in the optimization process for the proper implementation of veterinary radiology practices in terms of radiological safety is the continuous training of the personnel. The above findings and the regulatory experience gained were valuable decision-making elements regarding the type of the regulatory control of veterinary radiology practices in the new radiation protection framework.
