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 Advisory Committees 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. The GPEs consist of experts appointed individually for their competence and are open to civil society. 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. As an expert assessment body, the members of the Advisory Committees are required to abide by the provisions of the external expert assessment charter produced at the request of ASN and ĶłŁŇĴļŁĸķ ļŁ ŃŃĸŁķļŋ ӅׇŇł ŇĻĸ ļŁŇĸŅŁĴĿ ŅĸĺňĿĴŇļłŁņє ĴĶĻ member of an Advisory Committee draws up a Declaration of Interest (which is made public in the particular case of the GPMED which deals with health products questions, in ĴĶĶłŅķĴŁĶĸ ŊļŇĻ ŇĻĸ ĻĸĴĿŇĻ ĸŋŃĸŅŇ ĴņņĸņņŀĸŁŇ ĻĴŅŇĸŅ łĹ Ӆӄׇ ĴŌ ӅӃӄӆׇĴņ ņĸŇ łňŇ ļŁ ŅŇļĶĿĸ єׇӄӇӈӅіӅׇłĹ ŇĻĸ ňĵĿļĶ ĸĴĿŇĻ łķĸҏє TABLE 1 Advisory Committee meetings and visits in 2019 GPE MAIN TOPIC DATE GPR 0ɴƏȅǣȇƏɎǣȒȇ Ȓǔ Ɏǝƺ ƳȒɀɀǣƺȸ ǔȒȸ Ɏǝƺ ג Ɏǝ ȵƺȸǣȒƳǣƬ ɀƏǔƺɎɵ ȸƺɮǣƺɯ Ȓǔ Ɏǝƺ ח ׎׎ ژ xáƺ ȸƺƏƬɎȒȸɀ • Meeting on accident studies • Meeting on internal and external hazards • Meeting on severe accidents (all plant series concerned) • Meeting on probabilistic safety assessments ב ׎ ژ ƏȇƳ ב ׏ ژ hƏȇɖƏȸɵ א ׎ ژ ƏȇƳ א ׏ ژ IƺƫȸɖƏȸɵ ژוא ƏȇƳ ژזא xƏȸƬǝ ׏׏ ژ ƏȇƳ ׏ ژא hɖǼɵ GPR (GPESPN) 0ɴƏȅǣȇƏɎǣȒȇ Ȓǔ Ɏǝƺ ȒȸǣƺȇɎƏɎǣȒȇɀ ƳȒɀɀǣƺȸ ǔȒȸ Ɏǝƺ ג Ɏǝ ȵƺȸǣȒƳǣƬ ɀƏǔƺɎɵ ȸƺɮǣƺɯ Ȓǔ Ɏǝƺ ׏ً ב ׎׎ ژ xáƺ reactors ژאא xƏɵ GPR Examinationof thedossier onOEF fromoperationof EDF’s nuclear power reactors and foreign reactors for the period 2015-2017 ژד hɖȇƺ GPESPN Examinationof thedossier presenting theEDF approach for handling thedeviations affecting the EPR reactor main secondary system steam line welds ژח ȵȸǣǼ ƏȇƳ ژה hɖȇƺ GPESPN Examination of the dossier on the in-service strength of the austenitic-ferritic stainless ɀɎƺƺǼ ƬƏɀɎ ƺǼƫȒɯ ƏɀɀƺȅƫǼǣƺɀ Ȓȇ Ɏǝƺ ȅƏǣȇ ȵȸǣȅƏȸɵ ɀɵɀɎƺȅ Ȓǔ ח ׎׎ ژ xáƺ ȸƺƏƬɎȒȸɀً ƺɴƬƺȵɎ ǔȒȸ ɎǝȒɀƺ Ȓǔ Ɏǝƺ Iƺɀɀƺȇǝƺǣȅz¨¨ً ɖȵ ɎȒ א ׎ ژ ɵƺƏȸɀ ƏǔɎƺȸ Ɏǝƺǣȸ ג Ɏǝ Ɏƺȇ ٮ ɵƺƏȸǼɵ ȒɖɎƏǕƺ ژבא xƏɵ GPESPN Examination of the dossier on the updating of the regulation reference files for the ƬȒȇɎǣȇɖƺƳ ȒȵƺȸƏɎǣȒȇ Ȓǔ Ɏǝƺ ח ׎׎ ژ xáƺ ȸƺƏƬɎȒȸɀ ƫƺɵȒȇƳ Ɏǝƺǣȸ ג Ɏǝ Ɏƺȇ ٮ ɵƺƏȸǼɵ ȒɖɎƏǕƺ …ژז ƬɎȒƫƺȸ GPESPN 0ɴƏȅǣȇƏɎǣȒȇ Ȓǔ Ɏǝƺ ƳȒɀɀǣƺȸ Ȓȇ Ɏǝƺ ǣȇ ٮ ɀƺȸɮǣƬƺ ɀɎȸƺȇǕɎǝ Ȓǔ Ɏǝƺ ȵȸƺɀɀɖȸƺ ɮƺɀɀƺǼɀ Ȓǔ Ɏǝƺ ח ׎׎ ژ xáƺ reactors for the 10-year period following their 4th ten-yearly outage ׏ …ژד ƬɎȒƫƺȸ GPESPN Informationmeeting on the segregated channel heads ׏ …ژה ƬɎȒƫƺȸ GPD Informationmeeting ( Cigéo news, reviewof thePNGMDRandof theworkdoneby the LLW-LL working group) ژד hɖǼɵ GPD (ESK) Meeting with the ESK and visit to the Andra underground laboratory ׏׏ ژ ƏȇƳ ׏ ژא ³ƺȵɎƺȅƫƺȸ GPU Examination of the dossier for the periodic safety review of BNI 148 (Atalante) ׏ ژח hɖȇƺ GPU Examination of the dossier for the periodic safety review of BNI 117 (follow-up to meetings held in November 2018) ژא ƏȇƳ ژב hɖǼɵ GPMED-GPRADE Jointmeetingconcerning the orientations determined for the “ Radiationprotectionadvisor ” Order and referral concerning the updating of the national guide on “ Medical intervention in a nuclear or radiological event ” ׏ ژא IƺƫȸɖƏȸɵ GPMED Examinationof proposed recommendations for “ improved radiationprotection in fluoroscopy- guided interventional procedures in operating theatres ” ژזא xƏɵ GPMED Examinationof recommendations for “ improved radiationprotection in fluoroscopy-guided interventional procedures in operating theatres ” and risk assessment approach ׏ …ژ ƬɎȒƫƺȸ GPRADE Presentation of the recommendations of the working group on occupational exposure to radon, the risk assessment approach and the presentation of regulatory subjects ׏ ژה ³ƺȵɎƺȅƫƺȸ GPDEM Examination of the final shutdown/decommissioning (MAD/DEM) file and periodic safety ȸƺɮǣƺɯ Ȓǔ !0 zX ژאו ǣȇ ³ƏƬǼƏɵ ׏ ژח IƺƫȸɖƏȸɵ GPDEM Informationmeeting on regulations א ׏ ژ hɖȇƺ ASN Report on the state of nuclear safety and radiation protection in France in 2019 131 ׎ ٲ א THE PRINCIPLES OF NUCLEAR SAFETY AND RADIATION PROTECTION AND THE REGULATION AND OVERSIGHT STAKEHOLDERS 02
