Abstracts ASN Report 2019

provisions should enable the required level of quality to be obtained and maintained. ASN ensures that benefit is gained from the approval, in particular through regular exchanges with the organisations it has approved and the mandatory submission of an annual report.

The reports of the verifications performed in each facility by the OARP are at the disposal of and examined by ASN personnel on the occasion of: Ҋ licence renewals or modifications requiring ASN authorisation; Ҋ inspections. Examination of these reports on the one hand makes it possible to check that the mandatory verifications have actually been carried out and, on the other, enables the licensees to be questioned about the steps taken to remedy any nonconformities. ASN also approves laboratories to conduct analyses requiring a high level of measurement quality if the results are to be usable. ASN thus approves laboratories to monitor radioactivity in the environment (see point 4.3). The updated list of approvals issued by ASN is available on asn.fr . ňŅŇĻĸŅ Ňł ŇĻĸ łŃļŁļłŁ łĹ ŇĻĸ ŁŇĸŅŀļŁļņŇĸŅļĴĿ łŀŀļņņļłŁ łŁ ŇĻĸ ĴŅŅļĴĺĸ łĹ ĴŁĺĸŅłňņ łłķņ Ҏ ҏё ĴĿņł ĴŃŃŅłʼnĸņѓ Ҋ the training organisations for drivers of vehicles carrying radioactive materials; two organisations have been approved.

It also aims to assess the situation with regard to the nuclear safety and radiation protection implications; it seeks to identify best practices, practices that could be improved and assess possible developments of the situation. Ҋ The scope and depth of the inspection is adjusted to the risks inherent in the activity and the way they are effectively taken into account by those responsible for the activity. Ҋ The inspection is neither systematic nor exhaustive; it is based on sampling and focuses on the subjects with the highest potential consequences. ב ِ׏ِ א XȇɀȵƺƬɎǣȒȇ ȸƺɀȒɖȸƬƺɀ ǣȅȵǼƺȅƺȇɎƺƳ To ensure greater efficiency, ASN action is organised on the following basis: Ҋ inspections, at a predetermined frequency, of the nuclear activities and topics of particular health and environmental significance; Ҋ inspections on a representative sample of other nuclear activities; Ҋ inspections of approved organisations.
