ASN has 11 regional divisions through which it carries out its regulatory responsibilities nationwide and in the Overseas France and Territorial Communities.
The ASN regional divisions carry out their activities under the authority of regional representatives.
The ASN divisions carry out direct inspections on the basic nuclear installations (BNIs), on radioactive material transport and on small-scale nuclear activities and investigate most of the licensing applications submitted to ASN by the nuclear activity licensees within their regions.
In emergency situations, the divisions assist the préfet of the département, who is responsible for protection of the population, and carry out on-site monitoring of the operations to safely operate the installation. To ensure preparedness for these situations, they take part in preparing the emergency plans drafted by the préfets and in periodic exercises.
The ASN divisions contribute to the public information duty. They for example take part in the meetings of the local information committees (CLIs) and maintain regular relations with the local media, elected officials, associations, licensees and local administrations.
Asn assessment of nuclear safety and radiation protection at the local level
The purpose of this chapter is, in addition to ASN's overall assessment of nuclear safety and radiation protection for each major activity and main licensee, to present an assessment of the situation observed locally by the ASN divisions.
The following sheets give a site by site review of nuclear safety and radiation protection in the nuclear installations of a given region: from the nuclear power plant (NPP) to the fuel cycle plants, from installations in operation to those undergoing decommissioning and from research facilities to radioactive waste disposal centres. The ASN divisions also give their view of radiation protection in the medical and industrial sectors and highlight a number of local actions particularly representative of the work done by ASN in the regions.
This new chapter, with its regional focus, is in line with that proposed on the new website www.asn.fr. Through its various information media, ASN thus aims to offer easier access to local information: from the latest news from the ASN divisions to life in the installations.
