ORGANISATION
ASN comprises head office departments and eleven regional
divisions with competence for one or more administrative
regions. This organisation enables ASN to carry out its
regulation and monitoring duties over the entire country
and in the overseas territories of France.
THE ASN ORGANISATION CHART
The departments are organised thematically and manage
national affairs concerning the activities for which they
are responsible.
The ASN regional divisions operate under the authority
of the regional representatives, appointed by the ASN
Chairman. They are ASN's representatives in the regions
and contribute to the ASN's public information role. The
divisions carry out most of the direct inspections on
nuclear facilities, radioactive material transport operations
and small-scale nuclear activities.
In emergency situations, the divisions assist the préfet of
the département, who is in charge of protection of the
populations, and monitor operations to safeguard the
installation on the site, provided that it is accessible and
does not constitute a hazard.
