The regulations require approval of the package models
for certain radioactive substances transport operations (see
chapter 11). These approvals are issued by ASN.
Article R. 1333-44 of the PublicHealthCode also requires
that companies transporting radioactive substances in
France be subject to either notificationor licensingbyASN.
On12thMarch2015, ASN issued a resolution (2015-DC-
0503) creating a system of notification for all companies
transporting radioactive substances on French territory.
Implementation of the regulations on the safe transport
of radioactive substances is checked by nuclear safety
inspectors duly appointed by ASN.
5. REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE
TO CERTAIN RISKS OR CERTAIN
PARTICULAR ACTIVITIES
5.1 Contaminated sites and soils
The tools and the approach to be followed for
management of polluted sites and soils are described
in detail in chapter 16. On 4th October 2012 ASN
published a doctrine on the management of sites
contaminated by radioactive substances based on
several principles. These principles are applicable
to all sites polluted by radioactive substances. ASN’s
prime objective is to achieve the most thorough
cleanout possible, aiming for complete removal of
the radioactive pollution to allow unrestricted use
of the cleaned out premises and land. Nevertheless,
when this objective cannot be technically achieved,
justification must be given and appropriate measures
implemented to guarantee the compatibility of the
site’s condition with its actual or planned use.
Themodifications made by the TECVAct in this field are
described in detail in chapter 16.
5.2 ICPEs utilising radioactive
substances
The ICPE system comprises objectives that are similar to
those for BNIs, but it is not specialised and applies to a
