Bel V activities in the Belgian context of dismantling research reactor and fuel cycle facilities

In this paper an overview of the main decommissioning projects in Belgium since the eighties is presented. It deals with 3 projects: one research reactor BR3 at SCK-CEN and 2 fuel cycle facilities: Eurochemic at Belgoprocess and a plutonium facility at Belgonucleaire. The licensing approach and the involvement of the Belgian TSO (Technical Safety Organization) in these decommissioning activities are then described. The evolution of the follow up and safety review of these activities by the Belgian TSO is highlighted. The slides of the presentation have been added at the end of the paper. (authors)
