With regard to labour inspection, the site’s deployment of prevention actions concerning safety over the last few years brought a reduction in the number of workplace accidents involving outside contractors in 2024. It is still necessary to continue these practices over the long term, and perhaps even reinforce them, given that the accident rate remains high. Deficiencies have been detected in the control of conformity of the ventilation facilities with the regulatory requirements associated with specific pollution areas, occasionally leading to uncontrolled exposures of employees in rooms in which hazardous substances are emitted. Lastly, occasional deviations were noted in the lifting of loads and the use of electrical equipment designed by the services of the NPP. The installations and activities to regulate comprise: • one Basic Nuclear Installation: • the Gravelines NPP (6 reactors of 900 MWe) operated by EDF; • small-scale nuclear activities in the medical sector: • 19 external-beam radiotherapy departments, 3 brachytherapy departments, • 30 nuclear medicine departments, of which 7 practise internal targeted radiotherapy, • 97 centres practising fluoroscopy-guided interventional procedures, • 148 computed tomography scanners, • some 4,600 medical and dental radiology devices; • small-scale nuclear activities in the industrial, veterinary and research sectors: • about 600 industrial and research establishments, including 23 companies exercising an industrial radiography activity, 6 particle accelerators, including one for inspecting freight trains and 2 cyclotrons, 40 laboratories situated mainly in the universities of the region and 11 companies using gamma ray densitometers, • 340 veterinary surgeries or clinics practising diagnostic radiology; • activities associated with the transport of radioactive substances; • ASN-approved laboratories and organisations: • 2 organisations approved for radiation protection controls.
