Under the authority of the regional representatives (see chapter 2 of the full ASN Report), the ASN regional divisions carry out on-the-ground inspections of the Basic Nuclear Installations (BNIs), of Radioactive Substance Transport (TSR) operations and of smallscale nuclear activities; they examine the majority of the licensing applications submitted to ASN by those Responsible for Nuclear Activities (RNAs) within their regions. For these activities and in these facilities, they check application of the regulations relative to nuclear safety, radiation protection, Pressure Equipment (PE) and Installations Classified for Protection of the Environment (ICPEs). They ensure the labour inspection in the Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs). In radiological emergency situations, the ASN regional divisions check the on-site measures taken by the licensee to place the facility in a safe condition and they assist the Prefect of the département, who is responsible for protecting the public. To ensure preparedness for such situations, they participate in the development of the emergency plans drawn up by the Prefects and in the periodic exercises. The ASN regional divisions contribute to the mission of informing the public. They take part, for example, in the meetings of the BNI Local Information Committees (CLIs) and maintain regular relations with the local media, elected officials, associations, licensees and local administrations. This section of the Report presents ASN’s oversight action in each region and its assessment of nuclear safety and radiation protection. Actions to inform the public and cross-border relations are addressed in chapters 5 and 6 of the full ASN Report respectively. • Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes p. 38 • Bourgogne‑Franche‑Comté p. 47 • Bretagne p. 48 • Centre‑Val de Loire p. 50 • Corse p. 56 • Overseas départements and regions p. 57 • Grand Est p. 58 • Hauts‑de‑France p. 62 • Île‑de‑France p. 64 • Normandie p. 72 • Nouvelle‑Aquitaine p. 81 • Occitanie p. 83 • Pays de la Loire p. 88 • Provence‑Alpes‑Côte d’Azur p. 89 Oversight of small-scale nuclear activities (medical, research and industry, transport) is presented in chapters 7, 8 and 9 of the full ASN Report.
