The CLIs also have the possibility of being heard by the ASN Commission before it issues its opinion on the draft authorisation decree submitted to ASN by the Minister responsible for nuclear safety. The CLI and the Departmental Council for the Environment and for Health and Technological Risks are consulted on the draft ASN requirements concerning water intakes, effluent discharges into the surrounding environment and the prevention or mitigation of detrimental effects of the installation for the public and the environment. א ِ ב ِ ! ג ȒȇɀɖǼɎƏɎǣȒȇ ي ǔȒȸ ƺɮƺȸ ɯǣƳƺȸ ƏȇƳ ȅȒȸƺ ɮƏȸǣƺƳ ȵƏȸɎǣƬǣȵƏɎǣȒȇ Ȓǔ Ɏǝƺ ɮƏȸǣȒɖɀ ƏɖƳǣƺȇƬƺɀ ASN ensures that these consultations allow the public and the associations concerned to contribute, in particular by verifying the quality of the licensee’s files and by trying to develop the CLI’s resources so that they can express an opinion on the files. ļĺļŇĴĿ ŇĸĶĻŁłĿłĺļĸņ ĴŁķ ĶļŇļōĸŁ ŃĴŅŇļĶļŃĴŇļłŁ ŃŅĴĶŇļĶĸņ ĴŅĸ bringing ASN to change the public consultation framework to ensure effective participation of the public in the decision- making process. א ِ ג Áǝƺ ƏƬɎȒȸɀ ǣȇ Ɏǝƺ ƏȸƺƏ Ȓǔ ǣȇǔȒȸȅƏɎǣȒȇ א ِ ג ِ׏ Áǝƺ RǣǕǝ !ȒȅȅǣɎɎƺƺ ǔȒȸ ÁȸƏȇɀȵƏȸƺȇƬɵ ƏȇƳ XȇǔȒȸȅƏɎǣȒȇ Ȓȇ zɖƬǼƺƏȸ ³ƺƬɖȸǣɎɵ The High Committee for Transparency and Information on Nuclear Security (HCTISN), created by the TSN Act, is a body that informs, discusses and debates on nuclear activities, their safety and their impact on human health and the environment. It can also deal with any issue concerning the accessibility of nuclear security information and propose any measures such as to guarantee or improve transparency. The HCTISN develops opinions and makes them public. It organises four plenary meetings per year, at which major topical subjects are presented and discussed: all the presentations can be consulted online at hctisn.fr . The ASN Chairman is a member of the High Committee; ASN sits on the board of the HCTISN in an advisory capacity, takes part in its various working groups and regularly provides information on the subjects on plenary session agendas.
