Abstract

In the framework of assistance for Japan, the ACTIFLORAD project for liquid waste decontamination mobilized over 200 AREVA collaborators and 47 people who led their mission in the damaged site. Led between May 18th and July 6th, 2011, the French mission aimed at supervising the ACTIFLORAD process building and assisting Japanese teams in performing it. The post-accidental situation and emergency led to setting up a radiation protection organization in agreement with French regulation as well as integrated into the Japanese organization. This text establishes a testimony of the everyday life of the mission and its preliminary preparation.
