Abstracts of the ASNR Report 2025

Order of 27 February 2025 laying down various provisions pursuant to Act 2024-450 of 21 May 2024 relative to the organisation of nuclear safety and radiation protection governance, in order to address the challenges of the nuclear industry’s renewal Pursuant to Act 2024-450 of 21 May 2024 relative to the organisation of nuclear safety and radiation protection governance in order to address the challenges of the nuclear industry’s renewal and the merger of the Institute for Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety (IRSN) with the Nuclear Safety Authority (ASN), this Order updates a number of Orders. The Directorate for Nuclear Defence and Security Expertise (DEND) of the Ministry of the Armed Forces replaces IRSN and the Delegate for Nuclear Defence and Security Expertise of the Directorate for Nuclear Defence and Security Expertise replaces the Deputy Director General responsible for defence-related missions within IRSN. The references to IRSN and the Deputy Director General responsible for defence-related missions within IRSN have accordingly been revised. Order of 28 February 2025 establishing a revenue collection office and an imprest account office for the Authority for Nuclear Safety and Radiation Protection A revenue collection office and an imprest account office are set up for the Authority for Nuclear Safety and Radiation Protection. Order of 23 April 2025 amending the Order of 31 December 2024 relative to the transfer of assets, rights and obligations of the Institute for Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety This Decree amends the Order of 31 December 2024 relative to the transfer of the assets, rights and obligations of the Institute for Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety (IRSN) to the State and the Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA), in order to take into account certain operations (closure of contracts or signing of new contracts) carried out since then. Order of 19 June 2025 approving resolution 2025-DC-011 of the Authority for Nuclear Safety and Radiation Protection of 28 March 2025 on licensing and notification systems for radioactive substance transport operations within the national territory This Order approves resolution 2025-DC-011 of the Authority for Nuclear Safety and Radiation Protection of 28 March 2025 on licensing and notification systems for radioactive substance transport operations within the national territory. It renders this resolution binding by making it enforceable against the parties concerned. Under the terms of this resolution, from 1 January 2026, road transport within France of high-activity sealed radioactive sources or batches of sources in categories A to C, whether carried out on an own-account basis or on behalf of third parties, shall be subject to licensing in order to protect them against malicious acts. The Order of 29 November 2019, as amended, relating to the protection of sources of ionising radiation and batches of radioactive sources in categories A, B, C and D against malicious acts, sets out the technical and organisational measures to be implemented during their transport. Other transports of radioactive substances not covered by the licensing system are subject to the notification system. Notifications are submitted via ASNR’s online services portal (teleservices.asnr.fr). Order of 5 August 2025 designating the authorised body to carry out individual dosimetry monitoring of civil aircraft crews This Order designates ASNR as the authorised body to carry out individual dosimetry monitoring of external exposure to cosmic radiation for civil aircraft crews. It specifies that the ASNR shall use the SievertPN system as its numerical modelling tool. It also amends the Order of 23 June 2023 on the arrangements for registration and access to the “SISERI” ionising radiation exposure monitoring information system, for the purpose of replacing “IRSN” with “ASNR”. The publication of this Order will enable airlines to comply with their regulatory obligations regarding dosimetry monitoring of their flight crew. Order of 1 December 2025 designating the coordinating Prefect for the planned deep geological disposal repository for high-level long-lived waste and intermediate-level long-lived waste (Cigéo) This Order designates the Prefect of the Meuse département as the coordinating Prefect for the actions of the Prefects of the Meuse and Haute-Marne départements in relation to the planned deep geological disposal repository (Cigéo) for high-level long-lived waste and intermediate-level long-lived waste until 31 December 2030. Order of 16 December 2025 granting the Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) a State guarantee with respect to civil liability in the field of nuclear energy This Order grants CEA a guarantee that the State will cover its civil liability in nuclear matters between 2026 and 2030. This guarantee is capped at 700 million euros per facility or accident, with specific amounts for the transport of nuclear substances. Order of 22 December 2025 laying down the specific requirements for de-energising and inspecting certain electrical installations in power plants comprising Basic Nuclear Installations This Labour Law text lays down specific rules for inspecting certain electrical installations in nuclear power plants and organising their de-energisation in the event of an accident (electric shock, fire or explosion), in order to comply with nuclear safety and radiation protection requirements and ensure continuity of power supply to the electricity network. 34 ABSTRACTS – ASNR Report on the state of nuclear safety and radiation protection in France in 2025
