to cope with the specific risks associated with the existence of structures and facilities whose perimeter is localised and fixed. The PPI implements the orientations of civil protection policy in terms of mobilisation of resources, information, alert, exercises and training ”. These Articles also stipulate the characteristics of the facilities or structures for which the Prefect is required to define a PPI. The PPI specifies the initial actions to be taken to protect the general public, the roles of the various services concerned, the systems for giving the alert, and the human and material resources likely to be engaged in order to protect the general public. The PPI falls within the framework of the Disaster and Emergency Response Organisation (Orsec) which describes the protective measures implemented by the public authorities in large-scale emergencies. Therefore, beyond the application perimeter of the PPI, the département łŅ ōłŁĸ ŅņĸĶ ŃĿĴŁ ļņ ĴĶŇļŉĴŇĸķє ĴņņļņŇņ the Prefect, who is responsible for the drafting and approval of the PPI, by analysing the various aspects with its technical support organisation, IRSN, including those concerning the nature and scale of the radiological consequences of an accident.

In order to test the alert chain and the activation of a licensee’s entire emergency response organisation, ASN simultaneously inspected the head office departments of the Alternative energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA), national emergency response organisation managers and the CEA Marcoule site where an incident was simulated. By activating an emergency exercise simulating an airplane crash on the Marcoule site, followed by a fire in the ATALANTE facility, the team of inspectors present on the Marcoule site was able to observe the first actions taken by the management on-call team and then activation of the local emergency centre. At the same time, activation of the emergency response organisation at CEA’s head office departments was observed by the team of inspectors present on the CEA national site in Saclay. This simultaneous inspection exercise was the first of its kind and produced a wealth of information. In September 2019, ASN carried out an inspection in the Dampierre-en-Burly NPP on the topic Ȓǔ ژ ƺȅƺȸǕƺȇƬɵ ȒȸǕƏȇǣɀƏɎǣȒȇ ƏȇƳ ȸƺɀȒɖȸƬƺɀً ȅȒȸƺ specifically concerning the regional service of the Nuclear Rapid Intervention Force (*) (FARN). This was the first inspection of the EDF FARN by ASN. The inspection entailed spot checks to ensure that the regional organisation and resources of the FARN enabling it to carry out its duty of supporting a site affected by an accident were both pertinent and operational, with regard to preparedness and the emergency management phase. This inspection more particularly comprised a simulation exercise involving the departure by a FARN convoy to a site affected by an accident in another region, following a request from the EDF national emergency response organisation.
