French term

chaîne blindée

French to English Tech/Engineering Nuclear Eng/Sci
This is a film transcript about the cleanup of a nuclear reactor site. I found both "shielded cell" and "hot cell" for "cellule blindée", but I'm not sure about chaîne blindée. I've seen shielded line and shielded chain, but they were found on bilingual websites. Any clarification would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Avant que démarre une opération d’assainissement sur une chaîne blindée, il y a un point important c’est que l’on va réfléchir sur ce que l’on va garder par rapport à ce qu’il y a dans la chaîne blindée
Proposed translations (English)
3 shielded process line
5 shielded chain

shielded process line

Another possibility; again not too many hits and all on French sites, but it seems to be a specific term for a particular French facility.

The Atalante shielded process line (CBP) was hot commissioned in December 2003 to reprocess 13 kg of
spent UOX fuel with a burnup of 52 GWd·t-1 after 8 years of cooling. The head-end operations (chopping,
dissolution, filtration) were performed in March 2004, producing 48 liters of a solution containing 250 g·L-1 of
U+Pu with a nitric acidity near 4.5 N.

Note from asker:
Thank you as well Dr. Jones, I think shielded chain could work as well, but since the CEA seems to like "shielded line", I'm going to with line instead of chain. Thank you!
