Grosjean Processing*, conditioning*, transport, storage*, disposal*, etc., strict surveillance is carried out on the waste at each step. ASN’s oversight aims on the one hand to verify correct application of the regulations regarding waste management on the production sites (for example with respect to zoning, conditioning or checks carried out by the licensee); and on the other to verify the safety of the specific facilities for radioactive waste management (waste processing, conditioning, storage and disposal facilities). This oversight is exercised in a manner proportionate to the nuclear safety issues associated with each waste management step and each facility.
