ASN Report 2020

When examining nuclear activity licensing applications, ASN will ensure that the main provisions have been put in place, in particular by changing the content of the files to be submitted in support of these applications, which should speed up the awareness and assuming of these new responsibilities by the licensees. At the same time, ASN will widen the scope of its inspections to include these additional provisions. It will also adopt an educational approach to introduce these changes to those involved, including by continuing its regular communication targeting the professionals concerned. ASN will continue the in-house actions it has undertaken to train its staff in the management of this new mission and to provide common aids (especially inspection guides and license application examination guides).
