The ASN strategy

4 The ASN oversight policy ASN exercises its oversight by using, in away that is complementary and adapted to each situation, the regulatory framework and licensing decisions, inspections, and if necessary, enforcementmeasures, to ensure optimal control over the risks that nuclear activities represent for people and the environment. The oversight is based on in-depth technical discussions with those responsible for the activities, taking the organisational factors into account. Its integrated approach takes into account all the aspects of protection of people and the environment. The stakeholders contribute to it. The oversight aims first and foremost at ensuring that the persons or entities responsible for activities effectivelymeet their obligations. The oversight cannot be exhaustive. It is ASN’s responsibility to define the architecture of the oversight system , to implement it and to upgrade it regularly as required.
