1 A P P E N D I X A LIST OF BASIC NUCLEAR INSTALLATIONS AS AT B ACRONYMS AND ABBREVIATIONS

2 A P P E N D I X LIST OF BASIC NUCLEAR INSTALLATIONS AS AT A To regulate all civil nuclear activities and s in France, ASN has sand up a regional organisation relying on 11 divisions based in Bordeaux, Caen, Châlons-en-Champagne, Dijon, Lille, Lyon, Marseille, Nantes, Orléans, Paris and Strasbourg. The Paris division is also responsible for activities in Martinique, Guadeloupe, French Guyana, Réunion, Mayotte and Saint-Pierre and Miquelon. The Caen and Orleans divisions are responsible for regulation in the Brittany and Ile-de-France regions respectively. This organisation enables ASN to carry out its duties nation wide and in the overseas départements 1 and territories.

3 LIST OF BASIC NUCLEAR INSTALLATIONS AS AT A basic nuclear () is one that, by its very nature or owing to the quantity or activity of the radioactive it contains, is subject to specific regulation arrangements as defined by the TSN Act of 13 June 06 (now codified in books I and V of the environment code by order 12-6 of January 12). These s must be authorised by decree issued following a public inquiry and an ASN opinion. Their design, construction, operation and decommissioning are all regulated. The following are considered to be s: 1. Nuclear reactors; 2. Large s for the preparation, enrichment, fabrication, treatment or storage of nuclear fuels or the treatment, storage or disposal of radioactive waste; 3. Large s containing radioactive or fissile ; 4. Large particle accelerators. Except for nuclear reactors, which are all s, decree 07-8 of 11 May 07 concerning the list of basic nuclear s sets thresholds for each category determining the point at which they become subject to the system. For technical or legal reasons, the concept of a basic nuclear can cover a number of different physical situations: for example in a nuclear power plant, each reactor may be considered as a separate, or a given might in fact consist of two reactors. Similarly, a fuel cycle plant or a centre can comprise several s. These different configurations do not alter the regulation conditions in any way: The following are subject to the system: s under construction, provided that they are the subject of a creation authorisation decree; s in operation; s shut down or undergoing decommissioning, until they are delicensed by ASN. As at 31 December 11, there were 12 basic nuclear s (legal entities).
