The Lyon division actively participated in this cross-
inspection programme in 2015:
•
An inspector of ASN’s Lyon division participated as an
observer in a week of inspections on the DarlingtonNPP
in Canada in April 2015.
•
Three foreign inspectors (from the nuclear regulators of
Poland, the USA and Canada) participated as observers
in the in-depth inspections carried out by ASN on
the Bugey NPP from 7th to 11th September 2015.
As a general rule, these exchanges allowed the sharing
of best practices in the methods for overseeing those
responsible for nuclear facilities.

Press conference

follow-up to the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident.
Work with the Local Information
Committees (CLIs)
All nuclear facilities in the Rhône-Alpes region, apart
from the Ionisos irradiator inDagneux, have a CLI. These
CLIs, whose activity has developed considerably since
2009 through the coordination and realisation of diverse
assessments, held regular meetings in 2015.
The Lyondivisionof ASNparticipated in14CLImeetings in
2015. The subjects addressed concerned the ongoing files
in the nuclear facilities. The CLIs were consulted during
preparation of the ASN prescriptions relative to water
intakes and discharges of all types from the installations,
like the Cruas-Meysse NPP CLI and the Tricastin Major
Energy Facility Local InformationCommittee (CLIGEET).
Some CLI members took part as observers in inspections
