The CLI activities
The activities of theCLIs take the formof plenarymeetings,
some of which are open to the public (about a third of the
CLIs holdpublicmeetings), andwork involving specialised
commissions.
The annual public information report drawn up by the
licensee is presented to theCLI. Any significant events are
also usually presented to the CLI.
About thirty CLIs have a website or have pages on the
website of the local authority that supports them. Nearly
half the CLIs publish a newsletter (sometimes an insert
in the newsletter of the municipality).
The CLIs can have special advisers, generally on a
part-time basis. They are members of staff of the local
authorities or, for those CLIs with association status,
employees of the association itself. If these special advisers
are in place, this clearly helps the CLIs adopt a more
proactive attitude.
In 2015, ASN informed the CLIs regularly about the files
concerning the nuclear facilities. More than tenCLIs were
consulted about licensees’ projects in 2015. The CLIs are
moreover always informed of the launching of public
consultation procedures by ASN. Some ten CLIs have
also had appraisals carried out, as allowed by the TSN
Act, for example during the reactor ten-yearly outage
inspections or in the form of environmental analysis
campaigns.
More detailed information on the action of some of the
CLIs is given in chapter 8.
2.3.2 National Association of Local Information
Commissions and Committees (Anccli)
The TSNAct provides for the constitution of a federation
of CLIs, and the Decree of 12th March 2008 sets forth
certain provisions that this federationmust adhere to. This
federation is theNational Association of Local Information
Commissions andCommittees (Anccli), chaired by Jean-
Claude Delalonde.
The activity of Anccli in 2015
In2015, Anccli federated all the existingCLIs (or equivalent
structures); these 37 bodies bring together more than
3,000 representatives of civil society, including 1,500
elected officials.
In 2015, Anccli organised more than 50 meetings of its
various bodies (administrative council, annual general
meeting, Scientific Committee, Advisory Committees,
special advisors club, Consultative Committee) and took
part in more than 80 events organised by its partners
(ASN, IRSN, EuropeanUnion, etc.), which bears witness
to the continuing strong commitment of the volunteer
members of the CLIs and Anccli.
The Anccli bodies
Anccli comprises a number of bodies, which continued
their work in 2015.
The Anccli Scientific Committee
Comprising independent, volunteer experts fromvarious
backgrounds, the Scientific Committee met three times
during the course of 2015. It pursued its work with
the Fessenheim CLIS on the issue of water intakes
and the discharges, by examining the integration of its
recommendations in the ASN draft resolutions.
27th Conference of Local Information
Committees
The 27th Conference of Local Information Committees
brought together 236 participants on 4th November 2015 in
Paris at the initiative of ASN and in partnership with ANCCLI.
As in the previous years, the conference also brought together
around the CLI representatives, representatives of the
departmental councils and the prefectures of
départements
with CLIs, the Government departments concerned,
associations and nuclear installation licensees.
The morning was devoted to “topical questions” with
presentations by ASN, HCTISN (French High Committee
for Transparency and Information on Nuclear Security)
and ANCCLI, and lively exchanges with the floor.
Jean-Yves Le Déaut, President of the OPECST, took the floor
in front of the participants to talk about the need for a debate
on the reversibility and retrievability of waste, in relation with
his proposed bill on the conditions of underground disposal of
the most hazardous radioactive wastes.
Ségolène Royal, Minister of Ecology, Sustainable
Development and Energy, sent a video message to the CLI
members on the new responsibilities conferred upon these
committees by the Energy Transition for Green Growth Act.
Two successive round tables were held in the afternoon on
the topics of
“Decommissioning nuclear installations and
the future of the country”
and
“What form of participative
democracy is appropriate for nuclear issues?”
. Alain Richard,
former Minister and member of the Senate for Val-d’Oise,
spoke to the participants about the recommendations
of the specialised “Environmental dialogue” commission
of the French National Council for Ecological Transition
(CNTE), which he chaired in 2015.
The 28th CLI Conference is scheduled for 16th November
2016.
