[en] This book proposes an overview of the career of Georges Vendryes, one of the main actors of the French CEA, notably because he gave his energy and inspiration for the development of various important installations such as Harmonie (1965), Masurca (1966), Rapsodie (1967), Phenix (1973) and Superphenix (1985). The author proposes a portrait of this man, and uses testimonies of his collaborators, scientific articles, press publications

[en] The question addressed in this report is: how can we contribute to informing the public about the current situation and the issues surrounding dismantling, particularly with regard to nuclear and industrial safety, radiation protection, the environment, etc. The assessment of the current situation has led to identify the following themes: Desired end state; Decommissioning strategies; Reflection on cost evaluation methods; Waste issues; Anticipation of dismantling strategy from the outset of design studies; Should there be a single approach to dismantling, regardless of the type of facility? Delays in the operation and the problem of remembering and maintaining skills and knowledge throughout the dismantling process (which may last several decades); Problems linked to the choice of operators, subcontractors, operator's right and duty; Human, environmental and social aspects of dismantling; Problems associated with unsealed sources and other facilities; Dismantling as an industry in its own right; Dismantling and clean-up professions. Given the time constraints, the Council restricted the debate to the following themes: 1: Targeted end-state: several end-states are conceivable, depending on the site's future, environmental constraints and costs; 2: Decommissioning strategies: these depend on the final state chosen and the type of facility; 3: Waste management and treatment: the group felt that this was a very important and sometimes decisive issue in the dismantling of a facility. However, it considered that it had neither the time nor the expertise to study it. He would like it to be dealt with in another context, involving representatives of the waste industry, in particular the Andra; 4: Evaluation of costs as a function of end-state, strategy and the existence of waste streams and outlets; 5: Human aspects, safety, radiation protection, protection of workers, of the public and of the environment; 6: Dismantling and cleanup professions and training establishments; 7: Anticipation of dismantling strategy from the outset of design studies. The report is structured into 6 chapters, corresponding to the themes studied, with a conclusion and recommendations that the WG wishes to submit to the CSSIN
