ASN notes that the discovery of asbestos is delaying the upgrading of the handling cranes necessary for removal of the reactor vessel fuel channels, without yet calling into question the date of start of operations, planned for 2027. Broadly speaking, ASN considers that the management of the NPP decommissioning project remains satisfactory. Nevertheless, concerning the state of the facilities, EDF must ensure that all the infiltrations are dealt with and guarantee the upgrading of the facilities with respect to the fire risk within the planned times. EDF must also continue its actions to better control the temporary storage conditions and to define management routes for the waste than cannot be removed immediately. Within the framework of the national inspection campaign on frauds, ASN also notes that the licensee must improve its organisation to counter this risk. In 2025, the Authority for Nuclear Safety and Radiation Protection (ASNR) shall be particularly attentive to the application of the facility’s new complete decommissioning baseline requirements and to equipment maintenance. ASNR shall moreover maintain its vigilance concerning the radiation protection plan, particularly regarding compliance with the rules for entering controlled areas.
