Communication at Anccli
The new communication strategy initiated in 2014 (new
logo, newwebsite, new newsletter, strengthening of ties
with the media, etc.) continued in 2015.
Anccli issued press releases expressing its opinions on
subjects such as the Off-site Emergency Plans (PPI)
and their scope, drones, and the links between safety
and security.
Anccli now has an institutional brochure which it sends
to all its partners and which represents its “identity
card” (presentation of the organisation, its locations,
its origins, its duties, its work, its added value, etc.).
Lastly, Anccli distributes three newsletters by e-mail to
more than 1,400 addressees.
A new episode in the
“Chronicles of Julie and Martin”
will
be prepared in 2016 and will be devoted to the culture
of risk, including the distribution of iodine tablets.
European cooperation
Anccli participates in European programmes (PREPARE,
BEPPER, etc.).
The ACN initiative launched by Anccli
The Aarhus Convention and Nuclear (ACN) is an
initiative launched in 2008 by Anccli and the European
Commission with the aim of progressing with the
practical implementation of the Aarhus Convention
in the nuclear field. Some fifteen Member States
participate in it. This initiative ended in March 2013.
The ACN process is continuing and the steering
committee has decided to organise a round table on
22nd and 23rd March 2016 in Luxembourg on the
theme
“Emergency Preparedness and Response to nuclear
accident and post-accident situations (EP&R)”.
Anccli
remains a partner in this initiative, but in 2016 it will
transfer tasks to NTW (Nuclear Transparency Watch)
which will take care of the logistics.
The NTW initiative launched by Anccli
NTW (Nuclear Transparency Watch) is a European
network created in 2013 to promote transparency in
nuclear activities and the effective participation of
the public in the nuclear sector in order to improve
the decisions concerning nuclear safety and the
protection of health and the environment. It is chaired
by Michèle Rivasi, Member of European Parliament,
while Jean-Claude Delalonde is vice-chairman. NTW
supports national and local initiatives and the civil
society organisations that share these objectives. Two
working groups were set up in 2014, one on Civil
Protection and Disaster and Emergency Services
(EP&R WG), the other on the ageing of nuclear power
plants in Europe.
In 2015, the members of the board wanted to put in
place a commitment charter for its members in order to
ensure that everyone was striving to achieve a common
goal, namely transparency and safety in the nuclear
field, without adopting a pro- or anti-nuclear position.
2.3.3 High Committee for Transparency
and Information on Nuclear Security
The High Committee for Transparency and Information
on Nuclear Security (HCTISN) created by the TSN Act
is a body that informs, discusses and debates on nuclear
activities, their safety and their impact on health and
the environment.
TheHCTISNcomprises 40members appointed by decree
for six years. They include:

Marie-Pierre Comets was appointed Chairwoman.
After a break of about one year, the HCTISN resumed its
work in 2015. This consisted primarily in:
•
establishing a resolutely ambitious work programme
for the HCTISN, which will continue in line with the
action of the first mandate;
•
holding four plenary meetings during which the
major currently topical subjects concerning nuclear
activities were detailed and discussed (“nuclear” section
of the Energy Transition for Green Growth Act and
the draft “nuclear” Ordinance called out by this act,
manufacturing anomalies of the Flamanville EPR reactor
vessel domes, emergency situationmanagement, disposal
facility project for low-level long-lived waste, ageing
and extension of the service life of the nuclear power
plants, etc.);
