Conclusion
Instrumentation of chemical and radiochemical monitoring in nuclear power plants

The safe, reliable and economical operation of France's nuclear power plants is all the more important given that they generate over 80% of the electricity consumed in the country.

To meet these objectives, plant chemistry and radiochemistry play an important role:

• by controlling the risk of corrosion of the various materials used in the plant's components;

• by minimizing dosimetry;

• optimizing the release of chemicals and radiochemicals into the environment.

Such operation, in a context of impeccable safety, requires appropriate monitoring of chemical and radiochemical parameters, while ensuring the highest possible availability and acceptable operating costs.
