Conference Article: Overall strategy of Creys Malville power station dismantling

Alfonse, P. (EDF/CIDEN, Creys Malville (France))

Abstract

The power station was stopped by a government decision following the elections in 1997. This shutdown was then officialized by a letter dated April 1998 and the decree of December 1998. This was a non-technical shutdown and as such had not been envisaged. There has been no early warning. (author)
