ASN Report 2018

In addition to ASN’s administrative actions, reports can be drafted by the inspector and sent to the Public Prosecutor’s Office. 5.2  ̶  An appropriate policy of enforcement and sanctions When ASN observes non-compliance with the legislative and regulatory provisions applicable to radiation protection (provisions of the Public Health Code and the Labour Code), enforcement measures or sanctions may be taken against the licensees or parties responsible for a nuclear activity, after an exchange of views – in accordance with the right of defence – and prior formal notice. In the event of failure to comply with the applicable provisions and requirements, the law (Environment Code and Public Health Code) makes provision for graduated enforcement measures and administrative sanctions: ∙ ∙ deposit in the hands of a public accountant of a sum covering the total cost of the work to be performed; ∙ ∙ have the work carried out without consulting the licensee or the party responsible for the nuclear activity and at its expense (any sums deposited beforehand can be used to pay for this work); ∙ ∙ suspension of the operation of the facility or of the transport operation until conformity is restored, or suspension of the activity until complete performance of the conditions imposed and the adoption of interim measures at the expense of the person served formal notice, in particular in the event of urgent measures to protect human safety; ∙ ∙ a daily fine (an amount set per day, to be paid by licensee or the party responsible until full compliance with the requirements of the formal notice has been achieved); ∙ ∙ administrative penalty. It should be noted that these last two measures are proportionate to the gravity of the infringements observed. The administrative fine will be within the competence of the future ASN Sanctions Commission, which will be set up once the implementing provisions of the Ordinance have been adopted and have come into force (Decree by Council of State).
