ASN Report 2020

Between 2014 and 2019, the Codirpa proposed changes to post-accident doctrine to take account of the lessons learned from the Fukushima Daiichi disaster Targeted support for the various categories of post-accident management players To meet the demand for support from the local players, the Codirpa proposed various solutions: ∙ a website (in french only) to raise awareness of post- accident situations. This site enables elected officials, health professionals, associations, education personnel and economic players to access documents and information of use for preparing or managing life in a region contaminated by a nuclear accident; ∙ a practical guide intended for the inhabitants of a region contaminated by a nuclear accident; ∙ frequently asked questions/answers drawn up with and for health profes­ sionals (publication in 2021). This information work will be contin­ ued on a long-term basis. The challenges for the coming period The Prime Minister’s mandate of 18 June 2020 sets the objectives for Codirpa for the period 2020-2024, with the following main priorities: ∙ management of the consequences of an accident occur- ring in a facility other than an NPP (“fuel cycle” plants, waste storage site, transport accident, etc.); ∙ the impact of a radioactive release in the aquatic environment; ∙ the contamination mitigation and waste management strategy; ∙ the role of the local stakeholders in developing a safety and radiation protection culture around nuclear sites.
