ASN Report 2020

4. Outlook Drawing on the lessons learned from the two lockdown periods, ASN will devote efforts to consolidating its working methods. The first will aim to reinforce and update its activity continuity plan, taking in aspects beyond simply the pandemic (electrical power outage, etc.). The year 2021 will also be put to good use to reinforce the IT resources, notably with regard to video- conferencing. At the same time, ASN will begin its transition to a new information system. If the health situation so allows, ASN will also resume the fixed home-working and flexible home-working experiment in order to redefine the breakdown between remote and in-person activities, while ensuring the quality of the tasks to be performed and preserving the collective approach. It will also use 2021 as an opportunity to consolidate the new inspection methods ( in situ and remotely). In accordance with its Multi-Year Strategic Plan, but also based on the lessons learned from the lockdown periods, ASN will consolidate its skills, on the one hand by modifying its training methods, giving greater importance to evaluation and self- training and, on the other, by continuing with its policy of developing senior positions, which will be occupied by staff with solid professional experience in the fields of nuclear safety and radiation protection, or those which contribute to this (support or transverse functions). Following its suspension owing to the health context, ASN will be renewing its request for the creation of a single budget programme devoted to the regulation of nuclear safety and radiation protection. With regard to research, ASN will use the budget resources allocated to it in order to carry out actions consistently with the opinions produced so far. In terms of expert analysis and appraisal, work will be done to renew the agreement between ASN and its technical support organisation, the IRSN. The Advisory Committees will continue their programme of work in 2021. Meetings will be maintained and, depending on the health conditions, the methods of interaction and contribution will be adapted. The mandates of the GPMED and GPRADE will be extended to 31 December 2021, and will be renewed in 2022. ASN will initiate a strategic review for the drafting of its new Multi-Year Strategic Plan, during the course of 2022, and it will from now on cover a five-year period.
