LES ACTIVITÉS NUCLÉAIRES : RAYONNEMENTS IONISANTS ET RISQUES POUR LA SANTÉ ET L’ENVIRONNEMENT All reports are examined and dealt with. Every report is examined and taken into account. It may be subject to an inspection, a technical analysis, a request for information from a RNA, etc. Some alerts are forwarded by ASNR to other government departments when it is not within its remit to deal with them, for example to the regional health authorities, the competent foreign safety authorities or the services of the High Official for Defence and Security of the Ministry of Energy in the case of information relating to the safety of a nuclear facility, which falls within their remit. Twelve reports received in 2025 have been or will be subject to verification during inspections. The follow-up to these inspections is dealt with as routine inspections. 8 – Identifying and correcting deviations ASNR implements enforcement measures, making it possible to oblige a licensee or RNA to restore compliance with the regulations, along with penalties. In certain situations in which the actions of the licensee or RNA fail to comply with the regulations in force, or when it is important that appropriate action be taken by it to remedy the most serious risks without delay, ASNR may resort to administrative enforcement measures and impose the penalties provided for by law. The principles of ASNR actions in this respect are: ∙actions that are impartial, justified and appropriate to the level of risk presented by the situation concerned. Their scale is proportionate to the nuclear safety, public health and environmental risks associated with the deviation identified and also take account of factors relating to the licensee (past history, behaviour, repeated nature), the context of the deviation and the nature of the requirements contravened (regulations, standards, “rules of good practice”, etc.); ∙administrative measures initiated on proposals from the inspectors and decided on by ASNR or the administrative enforcement committee, in order to remedy risk situations and non-compliance with the legislative and regulatory requirements as observed during its inspections. Moreover, criminal infringement reports (violation, misdemeanour) can be issued by ASNR’s inspectors and transmitted to the competent local Public Prosecutor’s Office, which will assess whether or not to prosecute. 8.1 Enforcement measures and administrative sanctions ASNR has various tools at its disposal for dealing with an RNA or a licensee, depending on the significance of the deviation identified, in particular: ∙the inspector’s observations; ∙the official letter from the ASNR departments (inspection follow-up letter); ∙formal notice from ASNR to regularise the administrative situation or to comply with the regulations in force, within a time-frame determined by itself; ∙enforcement measures or administrative sanctions, applied after non-compliance with the formal notice served. These measures, as set out in law, are as follows: ∙deposit in the hands of a public accountant of a sum covering the total cost of the work to be performed; ∙the automatic completion of the work at the expense of the licensee or the RNA (the sums previously deposited may be used to pay for the work concerned); ∙suspension of the operation of the facility or of the transport operation until conformity is restored, or suspension of the activity until complete performance of the conditions imposed and the adoption of interim measures at the expense of the person served formal notice, in particular in the event of urgent measures to protect human safety; ∙a daily fine (an amount set per day, to be paid by the licensee or the party responsible until full compliance with the requirements of the formal notice has been achieved); ∙administrative fine.
