Le [document] prévoit 2 stratégies de base : le déclassement immédiat après la fin de l'exploitation commerciale et le déclassement différé, qui comporte une période prolongée de stockage sous surveillance avant le début du démantèlement et de la remise en état du site. La CCSN [Commission canadienne de sûreté nucléaire] utilise cette stratégie pour Pickering, seule centrale nucléaire à tranches multiples au Canada dont l'exploitation commerciale cessera bientôt. Les tranches 2 et 3 sont à l'état de stockage sûr, tandis qu'il y a toujours exploitation commerciale des tranches 1, 4 et 5 à 8 [...] 1, record 1, French, - centrale%20nuclaire%20%C3%A0%20tranches%20multiples
