ASN has 11 regional divisions through which it carries out its regulatory responsibilities nationwide and in the Overseas France and Territorial Communities.

The activities of the ASN regional divisions are carried out under the authority of the regional ASN representatives (see chapter 2 - point 2|3|2.

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. The divisions check application of the regulations relative to nuclear safety and radiation protection, labour inspection, pressure equipment, installations classified on environmental protection grounds (ICPEs) and liquid and gaseous effluent discharges, in these installations.

In radiological emergency situations, the divisions assist the Préfet1 of the département, who is responsible for protection of the population, and check the measures taken on the site by the licensee to make the installation safe. 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) of the BNIs, and maintain regular relations with the local media, elected officials, associations, licensees and local administrations.

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.

Each section addresses the nuclear safety and radiation protection aspects of the nuclear facilities on the sites in a particular region. It also provides insight into the local issues and identifies certain local initiatives that are particularly representative of ASN’s regional action, particularly in terms of communication and cross-border relations.
