The CLIs and informing the various audiences The CLIs organise plenary meetings and set up specialist commissions. The TECV Act obliges each CLI to hold at least one public meeting per year. ASN promotes exchanges of good practices in order to make these public meetings moments of worthwhile discussion and opportunities to contribute to having a well-informed population. The majority of the CLIs have a website or have pages on the website of the local authority that supports them; some twenty CLIs publish a newsletter (sometimes as inserts in the news bulletin of a local authority). The 35th CLI conference The 35th CLI conference, organised on the initiative of ASN in partnership with the National Association of Local Information Committees and Commissions (Anccli), was held in Paris on 28 November 2023 and attended by more than 180 participants. The morning session reviewed the prospects for the nuclear sector: the consultation on the fourth periodic safety reviews of the 1,300 MWe nuclear reactors, climate change and SMRs. The afternoon session, which began with a presentation of the sociology of risk, was devoted to two round tables on the risk culture. The first panel of foreign participants provided new perspectives on the nuclear, health and natural risk, with contributions from the French Nuclear Protection Evaluation Centre (CEPN), the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the Civil Security of Terrebonne in Quebec. The second round table started with the lessons learned from the ASN barometer produced by Verian (formerly Kantar Public) on emergency management preparedness. It then highlighted the inspiring cross-border initiative of the Cattenom CLI with regard to post-accident preparedness and the mobile application “Face aux Risques” (Responding to Risks) developed by the Artois region’s Permanent Secretariat for Prevention of Pollution and Industrial Risks. The conference was illustrated by a graphic facilitator to foster its sharing within the CLIs. 2.4.4 National Association of Local Information Committees and Commissions Article L. 125-32 of the Environment Code provides for the setting up of an association of CLIs (see point 2.4.3), and the Decree of 12 March 2008 details the mandate of this federation. The National Association of Local Information Committees and Commissions (Anccli) brings together the 35 French CLIs and the 34 Committees put in place for the defence-related installations. Anccli has a scientific committee and has set up five thematic advisory groups (“Radioactive materials and waste”, “Post-accident – territories”, “Safety”, “Decommissioning” and “Health”). It is also heavily involved in the discussion and interchange bodies set up by its partners (HCTISN, ASN, IRSN, etc.). Partnership with ASN Anccli takes part in various Advisory Committees of Experts or ad hoc working groups set up by ASN on topics such as environmental monitoring, waste, post-accident situations, and social, organisational and human factors. Thanks to the presence of Anccli, the viewpoint of civil society can be heard. Anccli maintains a technical dialogue with ASN and IRSN on the high-stake issues and takes part in the public consultations on nuclear questions. In this context, ASN organised two technical webinars for CLI members in 2023: “heatwave and drought” (7 June) and “stress corrosion” (4 July). Each year, ASN organises the national conference of CLIs in cooperation with Anccli. The ASN Commissioners meet annually with the members of the Anccli Board of Directors, and ASN is invited to take part in the Anccli general meeting. Over time, these various interchanges have led to a relationship of trust and partnership between Anccli and ASN, over and beyond the multi-year agreement that binds the two institutions. The activity of Anccli Anccli runs the network of CLIs that it represents. By ensuring regular monitoring and issuing clarifications and information that can be readily understood by the general public, Anccli helps give the CLIs the means to fulfil their public information duties. Attentive to the concerns of the CLIs and in relation with diverse sources of expertise, Anccli conducts national reflections on nuclear safety issues and widely passes on the results of this work (Anccli positions) to the national and European bodies and to local elected officials and CLI audiences.
