Even after a nuclear power plant has been shut down and the nuclear fuel has been removed, the plant must still be considered to be a nuclear installation as even a residual radioactivity of 10 Bq represents a danger to human beings and the environment.

In particular, changes in the properties of the materials in the reactor pressure vessel and the components of the primary cooling circuit through neutron irradiation, heat, mechanical wear and tear and corrosion make it necessary to shut down a nuclear power plant definitively after a certain active life.
