Centre by triggering the alert system. If not, only the ASN local level (regional division concerned) intervenes to perform its Prefect support and communication duties, if necessary calling on the expertise of the national departments. In order to enhance the graduated nature of the ASN response and organisation in the event of an emergency, for situations not warranting activation of the Emergency Centre, the system has been adapted for the creation of a national level support unit to assist the regional division concerned. The format and duties of this unit are tailored to each situation. ļŁĶĸ ӅӃӄӋё ĴŁ łŁіĶĴĿĿ ķňŇŌ ņŌņŇĸŀ ŅĸļŁĹłŅĶĸņ ŇĻĸ ŅłĵňņŇŁĸņņ ĴŁķ the mobilisation and intervention reactivity of the ASN staff. ļĴĺŅĴŀ ӅׇĴĵłʼnĸ ņňŀŀĴŅļņĸņ ŇĻĸ ŅłĿĸ łĹ ļŁ Ĵ ŅĴķļłĿłĺļĶĴĿ emergency situation.

These players each operate in their respective fields of competence with regard to assessment, decision-making, intervention and communication, for which regular audio-conferences are held. The exchanges between the players lead to decisions and orientations concerning the safety of the facility and the protection of the general public. Similarly, relations between the communication units and the spokespersons of the emergency centres ensure that the public and media are given coherent information. ׬٫ ڲ Learning from experience ב ِ׏ !ƏȸȸɵǣȇǕ ȒɖɎ ƺɴƺȸƬǣɀƺɀ The main aim of these nuclear and radiological emergency exercises is to test the planned response in the event of a radiological emergency in order: Ҋ to measure the level of preparedness of all the entities involved (safety Authorities, technical experts, licensees); Ҋ to ensure that the plans are kept up to date, that they are well- known to those in charge and to the participants at all levels and that the alert and coordination procedures they contain are effective; Ҋ to train those who would be involved in such a situation; Ҋ to implement the various aspects of the organisation and the procedures set out in the Interministerial Directives: the emergency plans, the contingency plans, the local safeguard plans and the various conventions; Ҋ to contribute to informing the media and develop a general public information approach so that everyone can, through their own individual behaviour, contribute to civil protection; Ҋ to build on emergency situation management knowledge and experience. These exercises, which are scheduled by an annual interministerial review, involve the licensee, the Ministries, the offices of the Prefects and services of the départements , ASN, ASND, IRSN and Météo-France ё ŊĻļĶĻ ĶĴŁ ŅĸŃŅĸņĸŁŇ ňŃ Ňł ӆӃӃׇŃĸłŃĿĸ when resources are deployed in the field.
