LES ACTIVITÉS NUCLÉAIRES : RAYONNEMENTS IONISANTS ET RISQUES POUR LA SANTÉ ET L’ENVIRONNEMENT Their members come from university and association backgrounds and from expert assessment and research organisations. They may also be licensees of nuclear facilities or come from other sectors (industrial, medical, etc.). Participation by foreign experts can help diversify the approach to problems and provide the benefit of experience acquired internationally. ASNR renews the composition of the Advisory Committees every four years. All the GPEs were renewed on 1 January 2023, with the exception of GPRP, which was created in January 2022. They will be renewed under the same procedures by ASNR. In 2025, they were broken down according to their areas of expertise: ∙the Advisory Committee of Experts for Nuclear Reactors (GPR); ∙the Advisory Committee of Experts for Laboratories and Plants (GPU); ∙the Advisory Committee of Experts for Waste (GPD); ∙the Advisory Committee of Experts for Transport (GPT); ∙the Advisory Committee of Experts for Nuclear Pressure Equipment (GPESPN); ∙The Advisory Committee of Experts for Decommissioning (GPDEM); ∙Advisory Committee of Experts for Radiation Protection (GPRP); ∙the cross-cutting Advisory Committee of Experts for Innovative Reactors (GT-RI). For most of the subjects dealt with, the GPEs study the reports drawn up by ASNR units in charge of assessment or appraisal or by a WG of experts. The representatives of ASNR or external structures which carried out the expert assessment prior to a GPE meeting, present their conclusions to the group. Following each consultation, the GPE consulted can send the ASNR Director General a written opinion, plus recommendations where necessary. The contents of the dossier are made available to the members of the GPEs so that they can reach an informed and independent conclusion. This independent perspective is of use for the decision-making process. In addition to being consulted on the dossiers submitted by a licensee, the GPEs act as guarantor of nuclear safety and radiation protection doctrine and contribute to its development. They can be invited to take part in the debate on changes to regulations, or on a general nuclear safety or radiation protection topic. As an expert assessment body, the members of the GPEs are required to abide by the provisions of the external expert assessment Charter in Appendix 2 to the ASNR internal regulations. Each GPE member produces a declaration of interest. Those of the members of the GPRP and its working group on the radiation protection of patients (GTRPP) are made public. Internal rules of procedure common to all the GPEs are in force and notably provide a framework for identifying and managing links and conflicts of interest. Since 2009, as part of its commitment to transparency in nuclear safety and radiation protection, ASNR has published the GPE letters of referral, the opinions of the GPEs and ASNR's position statements based on these opinions. ASNR also publishes expert opinions. Advisory Committee of Experts for Nuclear Reactors (GPR) The GPR, chaired by Thierry Charles, comprises experts appointed for their competence in the field of nuclear reactors. It comprises 36 members. Advisory Committee of Experts for Laboratories and Plants (GPU) The GPU is chaired by Alain Dorison and comprises experts appointed for their competence in the field of laboratories and plants concerned by radioactive substances. It comprises 30 members. Advisory Committee of Experts for Waste (GPD) The GPD is chaired by Marie-Pierre Comets and comprises experts appointed for their competence in the nuclear, geological and mining fields. It comprises 35 members. Advisory Committee of Experts for Transport (GPT) The GPT is chaired by Pierre Maleysis and comprises experts appointed for their competence in the field of the transport of radioactive materials. It comprises 26 members. Advisory Committee of Experts for Nuclear Pressure Equipment (GPESPN) The GPESPN is chaired by Matthieu Schuler and comprises experts appointed for their competence in the field of NPE. It comprises 33 members. Advisory Committee of Experts for Decommissioning (GPDEM) The GPDEM comprises experts appointed for their competence in the field of BNI decommissioning. It comprises 31 members and the interim Chair is Dorothée Conte, vice-chair of the GPDEM. Advisory Committee of Experts for Radiation Protection (GPRP) Chaired by Jean-Luc Godet, the GPRP comprises 36 experts appointed for their competence in the fields of: ∙radiation protection of workers, the public and the environment, for the medical and forensic, veterinary, industrial and research applications of ionising radiation, as well as for naturally occurring ionising radiation (radon, cosmic or terrestrial radiation); ∙radiation protection of patients. Owing to the specific nature of the subjects regarding the radiation protection of patients, a working group dedicated to the radiation protection of patients (GTRPP) reports to the GPRP. The GTRPP is chaired by Thierry Sarrazin and comprises 25 experts, nine of whom are shared with the GPRP. Cross-cutting Advisory Committee of Experts for Innovative Reactors (GT-RI) The GT-RI, chaired by Thierry Charles, was created in June 2024 in order to shed light on technical subjects relating to the arrival of new and innovative industrial or experimental prototype SMR projects, using a technology other than that of the PWRs. It can be questioned on all the subjects examined, that is the nuclear safety of the reactors concerned, with regard to the technical, organisational and human, radiation protection, environmental protection, safetysecurity interfaces, or emergency situation management aspects. It comprises 16 members from the Advisory Committees (GPR, GPESPN, GPU, GPD and GPDEM). 1.6.2 – Scientific Council ASNR is supported by a Scientific Council, which is currently being set up. It will be made up of between eight and fifteen members, all of whom will be figures from outside ASNR, appointed by resolution of the Chairman of ASNR for a renewable term of five years, and chosen for their scientific or technical expertise. The Scientific Council will meet at least twice a year, depending on what is happening at ASNR. The Scientific Council will be consulted on: ∙ASNR's scientific strategy and guidelines with regard to its missions; ∙the organisation of research, its work and programmes, in particular through its research evaluation system; ∙the investment policy, allocation and forward planning of financial and human resources relating to the research role; ∙any other matter relating to research into nuclear safety and radiation protection, including proposals and recommendations on research needs in the field. The Scientific Council may also question ASNR on its own initiative on research-related issues. 134 ASNR Report on the state of nuclear safety and radiation protection in France in 2025
