Abstracts ASN Report 2019

ASN is maintaining its focus on the quality of execution of this complex project and expects greater rigour in the assessment of the radiation protection issues. In effect, following ASN’s ƳǣɀƬȒɮƺȸɵ ǣȇ (ƺƬƺȅƫƺȸ א ׎׏ ژז Ȓǔ Ɏǝƺ ȇȒȇƬȒȅȵǼǣƏȇƬƺ ɯǣɎǝ Ə defined requirement concerning the minimum thickness of a concrete wall, ASN and the licensee had technical discussions concerning the assessment of the radiological mappings in the facility. ASN considers that the licensee, at this stage, has not provided elements that can attest to its full control of radiation protection in the facility, even though the construction of the buildings is well advanced. JƏȅȅƏɀɎƺȸ ǣȒȇǣɀƺȸ Since 2008, the company Stéris has been operating an industrial irradiator called Gammaster situated in the municipality of Marseille. Gammaster treats products by ionisation (emission of gamma radiation) with the aim of sanitising, sterilising or improving the performance of materials. The facility is made up of an industrial bunker ƏȇƳ ǝȒɖɀƺɀ ɀƺƏǼƺƳ ɀȒɖȸƬƺɀ Ȓǔ ƬȒƫƏǼɎ הٮ ׎ ژ ɯǝǣƬǝ ȵȸȒɮǣƳƺ Ɏǝƺ radiation necessary for its activity. ASN considers that the level of nuclear safety and radiation protection of Gammetec remained satisfactory in 2019. The licensee must nevertheless make progress in the area of emergency situation management, as much with regard to safety as to the security of the sources.
