NOAH is a continuous water process for the treatment of the 1500 tons of sodium. This process was used with success for the primary sodium of Rapsodie and more recently in Dounreay(UK) to treat more than 1000 tons of radioactive sodium.... During the dismantling phase, the operations consist mainly in treating the sodium and dismantling the reactor and the other nuclear facilities and equipments. After draining the sodium from the reactor tank to the NOAH treatment process, it is planned to fill the tank up with water and to cut the most irradiated internal structures under water. 2, record 1, English, - NOAH%20process

Un bouclier caisson en acier rempli d'eau ordinaire entoure la calandre. Ce bouclier caisson, comme les boucliers d'extrémité, assure un blindage en cas de mise à l'arrêt contre le rayonnement nucléaire. Il agit également à titre de blindage thermique en absorbant la chaleur provenant du rayonnement thermique. 1, record 2, French, - bouclier%20caisson
