This Committee, headed by ASN, has representatives from the ministerial departments concerned, the health agencies, associations, the CLIs, and IRSN. The work of the Codirpa is presented in greater detail in chapter 4. 2.6.3 The Committee for the Analysis of New Techniques and Practices using Ionising Radiation The Committee for the Analysis of New Techniques and Practices using Ionising Radiation (Canpri) was created on 8 July 2019. This Committee is chaired by ASN and comprises 16 experts from learned societies, appointed by ASN, along with representatives of the French health institutions (National Authority for Health – HAS, National Cancer Institute – INCa, Ministry responsible for health, IRSN). Canpri’s aim is to identify new techniques and practices in the medical field, analyse their radiation protection implications and to produce recommendations and conclusions with regard to patient and worker radiation protection. Barring exceptions, it meets twice a year. In 2023, its work led it to issuing an opinion on the conditions surrounding the installation in France of the ZAP-X gyroscopic radiosurgery platform. For more details on the other subjects with which it dealt, refer to point 1.3.2 of chapter 7. 2.6.4 The other pluralistic working groups Considering that it was necessary to move forward with regard to the deliberations and the work being done on the contribution of humans and organisations to the safety of nuclear facilities, ASN decided in 2012 to set up the Steering Committee for Social, Organisational and Human Factors (Cofsoh). The purpose of the Cofsoh is on the one hand to allow exchanges between stakeholders on such a difficult subject as SOHF and, on the other, to draft documents proposing common positions by the various members of the Cofsoh on a given subject, as well as guidelines for studies to be taken to shed light on subjects for which there is a shortage of data or lack of clarity. ASN also heads the national Committee in charge of monitoring the National Plan for the management of radon risks. In 2019 and 2020, the committee drew up the fourth radon plan for the period 2020-2024, which was published in early 2021 (see chapter 1). The Committee met six times for this purpose. Within the framework of this plan, ASN has since 2018 been heading a working group in charge of coordinating communication measures regarding management of the radon risk. 2.7 THE OTHER STAKEHOLDERS As part of its mission to protect the general public from the health risks of ionising radiation, ASN cooperates closely with other institutional stakeholders with competence for health issues. 2.7.1 The National Agency for the Safety of Medication and Health Products The National Agency for the Safety of Medication and Health Products (ANSM) was created on 1 May 2012. The ANSM, a public institution reporting to the Ministry in charge of health, has taken up the functions of the French Health Products Safety Agency (AFSSAPS) alongside other new responsibilities. Its key roles are to offer all patients equitable access to innovation and to guarantee the safety of health products throughout their life cycle, from initial testing through to monitoring after receiving marketing authorisation. The Agency and its activities are presented on its website ansm.sante.fr. This agreement is currently being renewed. 2.7.2 French National Authority for Health The essential role of the French National Authority for Health (HAS), an independent administrative Authority created in 2004, is to maintain an equitable health system and improve the quality of patient care. The Authority and its activities are presented on its website has-sante.fr. There has been an ASN-HAS agreement since 2008; it was renewed on 2 March 2021 for a six-year period. An ASN-HAS action plan is appended to this agreement and is regularly updated. Pursuant to the Environment Code, the ASN Chairman is responsible for assessing and ordering payment of the BNI tax, introduced under Article 43 of the 2000 Budget Act (Act 99-1172 of 30 December 1999). The revenue generated by this tax, the amount of which is set yearly by Parliament, came to €559.62 million in 2023. The proceeds go to the central State budget. For certain BNIs, said Act also creates three additional taxes, known as “research”, “support” and “disposal”, respectively. The revenue from these taxes amounted to €124.51 M in 2023 and is paid to the Objectif Meuse et Haute-Marne public interest groupings (“support”), the municipalities and public inter-municipal cooperation bodies (“disposal”) and Andra (“research”), in addition to the revenue from the special contribution. In addition, since 2014, ASN has been tasked with assessing and ordering payment of the special contribution on behalf of Andra created by Article 58 of the 2013 Budget Amendment Act 2013-1279 of 29 December 2013, which will be payable up until the date of the deep geological disposal facility’s creation authorisation. In the same way as the additional taxes, this contribution is due by BNI licensees, as of the creation of their facility and up until the delicensing decision. The revenue from this contribution represents €79.33 M in 2023. Finally, Article 96 of Act 2010-1658 of 29 December 2010 creates an annual contribution to IRSN to be paid by BNI licensees. This contribution is in particular set aside to finance the review of the safety cases submitted by the BNI licensees. The revenue from this contribution amounts to €61.14 million in 2023..
