In 2020, it will be continuing its bilateral relations with countries from Europe, from Asia (Japan, China, South Korea) and the North-American continent (United States and Canada). In this context, it will focus on identifying the most pertinent subjects to be dealt with in this type of exchange, such as the decommissioning of legacy facilities or those which are about to shut down, or the conditions for radioactive waste management, subjects on which some countries have very real experience. At the European level, ASN (whose Director General will be chairing WENRA) will pay particularly close attention to the correct implementation of the association’s new strategy, notably with the aim of enhancing the harmonisation of regulatory practices and approaches. ASN will also focus on the satisfactory coordination between the European Commission, ENSREG and WENRA, in particular at a time when preparations will be starting for the next periodic peer review required by the Nuclear Safety Directive. In 2020, HERCA will be taking a strategic look at the consolidation of its goals, in order to provide an optimal response to the current challenges of radiation protection. ļŁĴĿĿŌё ĴŇ ĴŁ ļŁŇĸŅŁĴŇļłŁĴĿ ĿĸʼnĸĿё ӅӃӅӃׇŊļĿĿ ĵĸ ĴŁ ļŀŃłŅŇĴŁŇ ŌĸĴŅ ĹłŅ ё ŁłŇĴĵĿŌ ŊļŇĻ ŇĻĸ ӋŇĻ ŅĸʼnļĸŊ ŀĸĸŇļŁĺ łĹ ŇĻĸ ĶłŁŇŅĴĶŇļŁĺ parties to the Convention on Nuclear Safety and preparations for the 7th review meeting of the contracting parties to the Joint Convention on the Safety of Spent fuel Management and on the Safety of Radioactive Waste Management, scheduled for 2021.
