ASNR Report 2025

LES ACTIVITÉS NUCLÉAIRES : RAYONNEMENTS IONISANTS ET RISQUES POUR LA SANTÉ ET L’ENVIRONNEMENT the State, the Council comprises licensees, qualified personalities and representatives of environmental associations. The CSPRT, which takes over from the high council for classified facilities, has had the scope of its remit extended to pipelines transporting gas, hydrocarbons and chemicals, as well as to BNIs. The Government is required to submit Ministerial Orders concerning BNIs to the CSPRT for its opinion. ASNR may also submit resolutions relating to BNIs to it. By Decree of 28 December 2016, the scope of competence of the CSPRT was again expanded. A standing sub-committee responsible for preparing the Council’s opinions in the field of PE takes the place of the Central Committee for Pressure Equipment (CCAP). The role of this sub-committee is to examine non-regulatory decisions falling within this scope of competence. It comprises members of the various administrations concerned, persons chosen for their particular competence and representatives of the pressure equipment manufacturers and users and of the technical and professional organisations concerned. It must be referred to by the Government and by ASNR for all questions relating to Ministerial Orders concerning pressure equipment. The accident files concerning this equipment are also copied to it. 1.5.4 – The Local Information Committees and the National Association of local Information Committees and Commissions (Anccli) The Local Information Committees (CLIs) have a general mandate of monitoring, informing and consultation with regard to nuclear safety and radiation protection. They analyse the impacts of nuclear activities on the people and the environment within their scopes. ASNR considers that the functioning of the CLIs contributes to safety and it maintains a meaningful dialogue with them. It ensures that CLIs are kept as fully informed as possible, including by taking part in their meetings, whether public plenary sessions or specialised committees. In partnership with Anccli, ASNR fosters the networking of CLI representatives and providing CLIs with the tools and support they need to ensure that the public is properly informed. At their request, the CLIs have been supported by ASNR: on technical subjects, by experts or inspectors, and on issues relating to the dissemination of information or participatory methods of dialogue. The ASNR exhibition is regularly provided to the CLIs. ASNR invites CLI representatives to take part in inspections. It motivates the BNI licensees to facilitate CLI access to files of the procedures in which their opinion will be required, and encourage involving the CLIs in the preparation of emergency exercises. The CLIs and informing the various audiences The CLIs organise plenary meetings and set up specialist commissions. The TECV Act obliges each CLI to hold at least one public meeting per year. ASNR promotes exchanges of good practices in order to make these public meetings moments of worthwhile discussion and opportunities to contribute to having a well-informed public. ASNR and Anccli have set up informal "Thursday'scute at noon" meetings for CLIs. This gives them the opportunity to put their questions and requests to Anccli and ASNR. The majority of the CLIs have a website or have pages on the website of the local authority that supports them; some twenty CLIs publish a newsletter (sometimes as inserts in the news bulletin of a local authority). National Association of Local Information Committees and Commissions Article L. 125-32 of the Environment Code provides for the constitution of a federation of CLIs and the Decree of 12 March 2008 details the missions of this federation. Anccli therefore brings together the network of 35 CLIs that it represents. By ensuring regular monitoring and issuing clarifications and information accessible to the general public, Anccli helps give the CLIs the means to fulfil their public information duties. Paying attention to the concerns of the CLIs and drawing on diverse sources of expertise, Anccli leads national discussions on nuclear safety issues and widely shares the outcomes of this work (Anccli position statements) with national and European bodies, local elected officials and CLI stakeholders. It has the support of a group of scientific experts, who assist Anccli and the CLIs in their day-to-day work. Anccli has set up five permanent thematic groups (“Radioactive materials and waste”, “Post-accident”, “Safety”, “Decommissioning” and “Health”) to stimulate the interest and ideas of CLI members. It is also heavily involved in the discussion and interchange bodies set up by its partners (HCTISN, ASNR, etc.). Partnership with ASNR Anccli takes part in various Advisory Committees of Experts or ad hoc working groups set up by ASNR on topics such as environmental monitoring, waste, post-accident situations, and social, organisational and human factors. Together with ASNR, Anccli holds technical dialogues on highstakes issues and takes part in public consultations on nuclear questions: Cigéo creation authorisation application, reviews of 900 and 1,300 MWe reactors. Each year, ASNR holds the national conference of CLIs in cooperation with Anccli. On 9 December 2025, the 37th CLI conference was organised to highlight the achievements of the CLIs, and in particular their innovations in terms of sharing the safety and radiation protection culture. The afternoon was devoted to “climate change, a global phenomenon with local consequences”, a subject of major interest to people living near nuclear facilities. The ASNR Commission meets annually with the members of the Anccli Board of Directors, and ASNR is invited to take part in the Anccli general meeting. Over time, these various interchanges have led to a relationship of trust and partnership, over and beyond the multi-year agreement that binds the two institutions.. 1.6 ASNR’s technical support organisations In addition to the support provided by internal expertise, ASNR benefits from the expertise of other organisations and bodies in preparing its position statement. 1.6.1 – Advisory Committees of Experts To prepare its resolutions, ASNR relies on the opinions and recommendations of seven Advisory Committees of Experts (GPEs) and a cross-cutting Advisory Committee. A distinction is made between the expert assessments carried out by ASNR units in charge of managing the assessments, and those requested from the GPEs. Their remit, operating principles and the appointment of experts are set out in the Environment Code (L. 592-13-3 and L. 592-14). At ASNR’s request, the GPEs issue an opinion on certain technical dossiers with particularly high potential consequences prior to a position statement. The GPEs consist of experts appointed individually for their competence and are open to civil society.
