ASN Report 2015

170 / 536

InNovember 2012, ASNsent thePrimeMinister elements of
thedoctrinedraftedby theCodirpa, covering the emergency
exit, transition and long-termphases, accompaniedby an
opinion fromthe ASNCommission. These elementswere
thenposted on andwidely distributed at local,
national and international levels.
In its opinion, theCommission considers that drafting and
publishing the first elements of the doctrine is a first and
important step inpreparing for post-accidentmanagement
and underlines the importance of continuing with and
intensifying the implementation process.
TheCodirpa carries outwork to take account of the lessons
learned from the post-accident management carried out
in Japan in the wake of the Fukushima Daiichi disaster,
but also to ensure support for the preparatory work to be
organised at the regional level.Whereas thought has so far
only been given to accidents with releases on a moderate
scale and of short-duration, this has now been expanded
to consider the management of the consequences of an
accident with long-duration releases.
In this context, three areas for focus were chosen:
• test and supplement the policy elements with respect
to the different accident situations;
• assist with regional implementation of the elements of
post-accident management;
• take part in international work carried out on the post-
accident theme, share and integrate its results.
In 2015, the new duties of the Codirpa, officially laid
out in a letter from the Prime Minister on 29th October
2015, giving ASN a new five-year mandate, focused on
watching over, supporting and analysing the various post-
accident preparationprocesseswith the aimof periodically
proposing updates to the doctrine.
Threeworking groupswere set up in 2014, one concerning
long-duration releases doctrine, another concerning the
involvement of the regional stakeholders in preparing
for post-accident management and the third on the
involvement of the health professionals. The working
group for long-duration releases submitted its report
in 2015.
