Abstracts ASN Report 2019

׭٫ ڲ Outlook The legitimacy of ASN’s decisions is built on a foundation of principles implemented with rigour, competence, transparency and independence. This implementation is based first of all on efficient internal operations. In 2020, ASN will thus continue Ňł ķĸŃĿłŌ ĴĶŇļłŁņ ķĸĶļķĸķ łŁ ňŁķĸŅ ŇĻĸ ӅӃӄӋіӅӃӅӃׇŀňĿŇļіŌĸĴŅ strategic plan and aim for a graded and efficient approach to its regulation and oversight, improved coordination of technical instructions and consolidation of its actions in the field. In concrete terms, this for example means closer ties between the “licensing” and “inspection” processes, notably to target the inspections on the most critical moments in the life of the facility, deploying new methods for inspection of reactor outages, or giving priority this year to the inspection programme for management of the fire risk on nuclear reactors. Moreover, in 2020, ASN will be informing the Government of the means needed for regulation and oversight, after re-examining its needs, more specifically in the light of the steps already taken to reinforce its efficiency, the decisions taken regarding energy policy and those taken concerning new facilities. As an additional guarantee of efficiency, ASN will continue to ask for a single budget programme devoted to the regulation and oversight of nuclear safety and radiation protection. ļŁĴĿĿŌё ŊļĿĿ ĶłŁŇļŁňĸ Ňł ļŁʼnłĿʼnĸ ŇĻĸ ņŇĴľĸĻłĿķĸŅņ ļŁ ŇĻĸ decision-making process, as early on in the process as possible, while maintaining its own independence.
