250 questions from participants at «technical dialogue» meetings Since 2019, ASNR has implemented various public involvement initiatives in order to provide information, facilitate understanding of safety issues, explain its requirements linked to the periodic safety review, and identify the expectations, questions and positions of various stakeholders. The great number of interactions enabled ASNR to guide the work involved in the periodic safety review, and to check that the concerns of the public were properly examined.

This «technical dialogue» also involved members of EDF’s teams. The aim of this approach was to facilitate access to IRSN’s expertise, to further enrich that expertise by feeding in the expectations of the public, and to involve stakeholders in the areas concerned as early as possible, in order to prepare them for the national consultation in 2024 and for the local public inquiries relating to each reactor to be held in the next few years. Around 250 questions were asked at these meetings, addressing issues such as the doublewalled containment in the 1,300 MWe reactors, and the consideration of external hazards, particularly with regard to climate change.
