The Prefects are the State’s local representatives. They are the guarantors of public order and play a particularly important role in the event of an emergency, in that they are responsible for measures to protect the general public. The Prefects intervene in the various procedures. In particular, they send the Minister their opinion on the report and on the conclusions of the inquiry commissioner following the public inquiry into authorisation applications. At the request of ASN, they refer to the Departmental Council for the Environment and Health and Technological Risks for an opinion on the water intake, discharges and other detrimental effects of BNIs. א ِ ב ASN The Nuclear Safety Authority (ASN), created by the TSN Act, is an independent administrative Authority which takes part in regulating nuclear safety, radiation protection and the nuclear ĴĶŇļʼnļŇļĸņ ŀĸŁŇļłŁĸķ ļŁ ŅŇļĶĿĸ єׇӄӆӆӆіӄׇłĹ ŇĻĸ ňĵĿļĶ ĸĴĿŇĻ Code.
