ASN is continuing to publish the technical decisions required by the Public Health Code and the Labour Code. A large number of technical decisions are expected in 2010, including those concerning the licensing applications for users of sources of ionising radiations, the extension of source lifetimes, the registration, surveillance, recovery and disposal of sources, the identification and marking of high-level sealed sources and the design and operation rules for medical installations using ionising radiations.
ASN is also participating actively in the work being done to update EU directives and IAEA standards, in particular with the aim of integrating the recommendations from the International Commission on Radiological Protection published at the end of 2007. In 2010, ASN will make its position known on these various texts, during the preparation of the French stance to be determined for the purposes of international discussions.
With regard to BNIs, ASN will be continuing its work in 2010 on renovating the general technical regulations, in conjunction with MEEDDM, with the objective of having the ministerial order and the main ASN regulatory decisions published before the end of the year, to ensure that the "reference levels" adopted by the WENRA association are transposed into national law. In this respect, 2010 will in particular be devoted to consultations with all the stakeholders.
Working groups will be set up in 2010 in the run-up to the forthcoming revision of the radioactive material transport regulations (future 2012/2013 edition). They will in particular deal with fissile exceptions, the accelerations levels to be considered for package tie-down, and the interim measures and requirements.
Finally, 2010 should see the completion of the work that has been under way for the past two years into monitoring "source security" (prevention of malicious acts).
