With regard to worker safety, ASN considers that the development of risks generated by the new activities, including the hot tests, was generally well managed by the existing organisation. Nevertheless, several serious workplace accidents ȒƬƬɖȸȸƺƳ ǣȇ א ׎׏ ژח Əɀ Ə ȸƺɀɖǼɎ Ȓǔ ƫȸƺƏƬǝƺɀ Ȓǔ ƫƏɀǣƬ ȸɖǼƺɀِ xƏȇƬǝƺ ɯƏɀɎƺ ȸƺȵȒɀǣɎȒȸɵ The Manche waste repository (CSM), which was commissioned in 1969, was the first radioactive waste ȸƺȵȒɀǣɎȒȸɵ ȒȵƺȸƏɎƺƳ ǣȇ IȸƏȇƬƺِ ואד ً ژדאא ȅ 3 ژ Ȓǔ ɯƏɀɎƺ ȵƏƬǸƏǕƺɀ are emplaced in it. The CSM stopped accepting further waste in July 1994. Examination of the periodic safety review guidance file had resulted in ASN formulating specific demands at the end of 2017, concerning the justification of the technical principles of deployment of the long-term cover, the CSMmemory system and the updating of the impact study. In this context, ASN began the examination of the CSMperiodic safety review file submitted by Andra in 2019.

It must also introduce robustness into deviation management, particularly with regard to meeting commitments and the associated deadlines. Lastly, the licensee must consolidate its integrated management system documents to ensure full consistency between the general operating rules and the various operating procedures. zƏɎǣȒȇƏǼ nƏȸǕƺ RƺƏɮɵ XȒȇ ƬƬƺǼƺȸƏɎȒȸ The National Large Heavy Ion Accelerator (Ganil) economic ǣȇɎƺȸƺɀɎ ǕȸȒɖȵ ɯƏɀ ƏɖɎǝȒȸǣɀƺƳ ǣȇ ׏ זח ׎ ژ ɎȒ ƬȸƺƏɎƺ Əȇ ǣȒȇ ƏƬƬƺǼƺȸƏɎȒȸ ǣȇ !Əƺȇ ٢ zX ژ ׏׏ ב ٣ِ Áǝǣɀ ȸƺɀƺƏȸƬǝ ǔƏƬǣǼǣɎɵ ȵȸȒƳɖƬƺɀً accelerates and distributes ion beams with various energy levels to study the structure of the atom. The high-energy beams produce strong fields of ionising radiation, activating the materials in contact, which then emit radiation even after the beams have stopped. Irradiation is therefore the main risk presented by Ganil. ”Exotic nuclei” are nuclei which do not exist naturally on Earth. They are created artificially in Ganil for nuclear physics experiments on the origins and structure of matter. In order to be able to produce exotic nuclei, Ganil was authorised ǣȇ א ׎׏ ژא ɎȒ ƫɖǣǼƳ ȵǝƏɀƺ ׏ ژ Ȓǔ Ɏǝƺ ³¨X« n ژא ȵȸȒǴƺƬɎً ɯǝȒɀƺ commissioning was authorised by ASN in 2019.

After analysing the difficulties encountered, ASN authorised Ganil to push back the deadlines for the compliance work provided for by six of the ten prescriptions of this periodic safety review. ASN notes an improvement in the management of projects linked to safety and will remain attentive to the meeting of deadlines, as much for Ganil’s commitments as for the requirements laid down by ASN.
