In 2010 ASN published a guide to the final shutdown, decommissioning and delicensing of basic nuclear installations (guide no.6 of June 2010) and finalised the draft guide relating to complete clean-out methods acceptable in basic nuclear installations in France (draft guide no. 14 of June 2010).
The main actions ASN will carry out in 2011 will be firstly the continuing development of the regulatory framework for decommissioning, and secondly closer monitoring of certain installations. ASN will thus endeavour to finalise the guide to the clean-out of polluted soils on sites undergoing decommissioning, and, after publication of the BNI order, to finalise the revision of the guide relating to complete clean-out methods.
In 2011 ASN will continue its inspections of installations undergoing decommissioning. It will focus in particular on:
- drafting a proposal decree for partial decommissioning of the Brennilis power plant and drawing up instructions relative to the waste from the installation;
- participating in the writing of drafts for the MAD DEM decree for the nuclear installations of the UP2 400 plant in La Hague;
- examining the safety of the decommissioning operations concerning the active solution treatment equipment and the associated circuits of the LPC;
- drawing up instructions concerning the waste from Chinon A3;
- reviewing the authorisation application submitted by the CEA for the decommissioning of the Pétrus equipment of BNI 165;
- reviewing the preparatory operations for final shutdown of the installations that will soon be shut down and decommissioned (PHÉNIX, COMURHEX, EURODIF).
In addition to this, ASN will finalise its review of EDF's decommissioning strategy. It will also review the elements submitted by the CEA for the updating of its decommissioning strategy, justifying the chosen time schedule and explaining the reasons, technical or otherwise, for the observed delays.
