or decommissioning, but 'end of operation' seems more a normal term to use.

Explanation:
Decommissioning
Decommissioning is a general requirement, not only applicable tolarge power plants but also to experimental reactors ... whenever they have come to the end of their useful lives either for safety or economic reasons. The following three stages are recognized officially:
1. FINAL SHUTDOWN and surveillance, involving the removal of all fuel and taking appropriate measures towards the eventual disposal of accumulated waste and plant decommissioning.
2. Restricted site release, involving the dismantling of those plant and buildings external to the reactor biological shield ...
3. Unrestricted site release, involving the complete dismantlement and removal from the site of all materials ...

I've also encountered "terminal shutdown":
It took this decision based on the fact that fuel production for its Magnox nuclear plants is expected to end shortly after 2005, when its Magnox stations will then be approaching TERMINAL SHUTDOWN.

Initial efforts at seawater injection were slow and very tentative telling me that their pumping capacity is damaged. Also note that the ability to take two of these units to cold TERMINAL SHUTDOWN is nonexistent

I'm afraid none of the above addresses your query about the abbreviation, however!

I think Bob is right, although I'd have to speak to an expert to find out exactly where CDE stops and MAD starts!

Apart from that, CDE applies to nuclear facilities other than NPPs (though "shutdown" would also apply to them) as well as to other kinds of power plants.

Les opérations de cessation définitive d'exploitation sont commencées (fin prévue en juin 2008). L'étude de son démantèlement est en cours.

Les installations sont des installations nucléaires exploitées par AREVA NC en cours de cessation définitive d’exploitation en vue de leur prochain assainissement et démantèlement. Ces installations de production et de laboratoire produisaient des combustibles d’oxydes mixtes (uranium – plutonium), appelés MOX.
http://www-cadarache.cea.fr/fr/installations/INB/liste_INB.p...

En cas de cessation définitive d'exploitation d'une installation de production d'électricité mentionnée au I, l'exploitant est tenu d'en faire la déclaration au service des impôts dont dépend l'unité de production avant le 1er janvier de l'année suivant celle de la cessation lorsque la cessation intervient en cours d'année, ou avant le 1er janvier de l'année de la cessation lorsque celle-ci prend effet au 1er janvier

cessation définitive d’exploitation
Abréviation : CDE.
Domaine : Ingénierie nucléaire/Déconstruction.
Définition : Dernière phase de l’exploitation d’une installation nucléaire, comportant les opérations techniques préparatoires à sa mise à l’arrêt définitif.
Note : Ces opérations incluent l’évacuation des matières nucléaires et des substances dangereuses.
Voir aussi : mise à l’arrêt définitif.
Équivalent étranger : end of operation.

mise à l’arrêt définitif (langage professionnel)
Abréviation : MAD (langage professionnel).
Domaine : Ingénierie nucléaire/Déconstruction.
Définition : Ensemble des procédures administratives et des opérations techniques destinées à interrompre de façon progressive et irréversible le fonctionnement d’une installation nucléaire en vue de sa déconstruction.
Voir aussi : déconstruction.
Équivalent étranger : final shutdown, permanent closure (GB), permanent shutdown (EU).

"CDE" must be a misnomer if it is the Dernière phase de l’exploitation d’une installation nucléaire, comportant les opérations techniques préparatoires à sa mise à l’arrêt définitif, i.e. a phase de l’exploitation!

I also wonder what langage professionnel in the above definition means: that the tax people say CDE whereas the nuclear people say MAD for the same thing?

Cessation définitive appears to be a process that takes a certain time; When its purpose has been achieved, you have arrived at the moment of arrêt définitif, it seems to me.
