Optimizing nuclear installation decommissioning and dismantling operations is an ongoing quest. Faced with the complexity of this activity, Model Based System Engineering promotes relevant principles and modeling techniques. It motivated the definition of a functional generic pattern model of the waste package production line and the decommissioning of the facility. It proposes a global and generic functional architecture of such a system aiming to reduce the level of the pollutant. This pattern is coupled with a process of logistics. Six functions are combined to define this functional pattern. The application of this pattern model to a case of waste recovery in a pit shows the relevance of the model-based system engineering approach, reducing the weight of the history in the development of scenarios by optimizing the control means for nuclear safety and product quality.
