Description

This paper gives a general review of the decommissioning of Liquid Metal Fast Reactors (LMFRs) held since the last decades in France. It summarizes the main steps to process the decommissioning of RAPSODIE and SUPERPHENIX. This experimental feedback can highlight several recommendations and a general approach for the decommissioning of future LMFRs still in operation. (author)
