Decontamination and dismantling of the Piver prototype vitrification facility at Marcoule, France

Abstract

The Piver facility was built in 1965 on the Marcoule site mainly to demonstrate the feasibility of the process proposed for vitrifying fission product solutions. It operated from 1969 to 1980. Following the demonstration with fission product solutions form gas-cooled reactor fuel reprocessing and the first core of the Phenix fast breeder reactor, Piver was shut down permanently in 1980. Cleanup of the process cell was decided in 1984 to thoroughly decontaminate the process cell and permit installation of a new facility. Cleanup operations entered the active phase in 1988 after a preparatory phase from 1984 to 1987. Dismantling of the Piver facility has now been fully decommissioned. The project has been conducted by the French Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) with financial support from the Commission of the European Communities. (authors).
