ASN also carried out 47 days of labour inspections in the four nuclear power plants and on the Creys-Malville site. It tookpart in 13days ofmeetings on this theme, including its participation in theHealth, Safety andWorking Conditions Committees (CHSCT). In the exercise of its oversight duties, ASN drew up one violation report and gave one nuclear activity manager formal notice to comply with the regulations. In 2019, ASN was notified of 36 significant events rated level 1 on the International Nuclear and Radiological Event Scale (INES scale), of which 33 occurred in BNIs and 3 in small-scale nuclear activities. The Lyon division regulates nuclear safety, radiation protection and the transport of radioactive substances in the 12 départements of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.
