73P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 3 is a Jupiter-family comet which showed recently spectacular multiple fragmentations. This comet was observed with the Nançay radio telescope at its last three passages. In spring 2006, observing conditions were exceptional with a close approach to the Earth at 0.08 AU in mid-May. The Nançay radio telescope monitored the outgassing of the two main fragments of the comet, fragments B and C. OH production rates variations were observed, and are related to the fragmentation events observed in optical images.
