The French Approach for the Regulation of Research Reactors
The French approach for the regulation of research reactors D. Conte, A. Chevallier Autorité de sûreté nucléaire, Paris, France Abstract. The French Nuclear Safety Authority (ASN) regulates civil nuclear facilities in France. In addition to the pool of 58 pressurized water reactors ASN also regulates several research reactors which are all unique installations. The regulatory approach for research reactors takes cognisance of the different level of hazard encountered in their operation and hence requires a different approach to the management of safety in comparison with nuclear power reactor operations. For a number of years, ASN has been striving to optimise its regulation of experimental reactors. To ensure the optimum level of safety by focusing on the most important safety issues and allowing the licensee to exercise its full responsibilities through the use of internal authorisations. The internal authorisations system, which has been in operation for several years now with a number of experimental reactors, is designed to achieve this two-fold objective. In addition to the careful use of a new range of tools for its regulatory framework in the research reactors area, ASN has other safety challenges for example the ageing of most of the existing facilities and the licensing of new reactors with a high international profile such as the Jules Horowitz reactor or the ITER fusion reactor. 1. Introduction The French Nuclear Safety Authority (ASN) regulates civil nuclear facilities in France (164). In addition to the pool of 58 pressurized water reactors ASN also regulates research reactors which are all unique installations. Most of the research reactors are operated by the atomic energy commission (CEA). -

Schaller, président du jury Prof. R. Chawla, directeur de thèse Dr J. Krepel, rapporteur Dr A. Pautz, rapporteur Prof. J. Wallenius, rapporteur Suisse 2012 Abstract In order to meet the steadily increasing worldwide energy demand, nuclear power is expected to continue playing a key role in electricity production. Currently, the large majority of nuclear power plants are operated with thermal-neutron spectra and need regular fuel loading of enriched uranium. According to the identified conventional uranium resources and their current consumption rate, only about 100 years’ nuclear fuel supply is foreseen. A reactor operated with a fast-neutron spectrum, on the other hand, can induce self-sustaining, or even breeding, conditions for its inventory of fissile material, which effectively allow it – after the initial loading – to be refueled using simply natural or depleted uranium. This implies a much more efficient use of uranium resources. Moreover, minor actinides become fissionable in a fast-neutron spectrum, enabling full closure of the fuel cycle and leading to a minimization of long-lived radioactive wastes. The sodium-cooled fast reactor (SFR) is one of the most promising candidates to meet the Generation IV International Forum (GIF) declared goals. -

Techno-Economic Evaluation of SMR Based Standalone (Merchant) Plant with CCS”, 2017/02, February, 2017.’
IEAGHG Technical Report 2017-02 February 2017 Techno - Economic Evaluation of SMR Based Standalone (Merchant) Hydrogen Plant with CCS IEA GREENHOUSE GAS R&D PROGRAMME vsdv International Energy Agency The International Energy Agency (IEA) was established in 1974 within the framework of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) to implement an international energy programme. The IEA fosters co-operation amongst its 28 member countries and the European Commission, and with the other countries, in order to increase energy security by improved efficiency of energy use, development of alternative energy sources and research, development and demonstration on matters of energy supply and use. This is achieved through a series of collaborative activities, organised under 39 Technology Collaboration Programmes (Implementing Agreements). These agreements cover more than 200 individual items of research, development and demonstration. IEAGHG is one of these Implementing Agreements.

Oversight of Research Reactors in the Southeast of France: ASN Regulatory Experience
Oversight of Research Reactors in the Southeast of France: ASN Regulatory Experience Julien Vieuble, Carole Dormant, Pierre Perdiguier Autorité de Sûreté Nucléaire (French Nuclear Safety Authority), Division de Marseille, 67/69 Avenue du Prado, 13 286 Marseille Cedex 6, France Email of the corresponding author: [email protected] The French Nuclear Safety Authority (ASN), which is an independent administrative authority, is in charge of regulating nuclear safety and radiation protection in order to protect workers, patients, the public and the environment from the risks associated with nuclear activities. ASN also contributes to the public information and the promotion of transparency and openness among stakeholders. The key values of ASN are independence, competence, rigor and transparency, enabling its 450 staff to perform their various duties with the needed legitimacy. ASN’s oversight covers more than 160 civil basic nuclear installations all over France. These installations are of very different varieties and sizes: nuclear power plants, research reactors, nuclear laboratories, fuel cycle facilities, and at different stages in their lives: conception, construction, operation, dismantling. ASN also oversees the safety of radioactive material transport. The ASN division of Marseille oversees the nuclear civil activities in the southeast area of France, which covers, inter alia, the nuclear site of Marcoule (4 civil nuclear installations) and the nuclear site of Cadarache (20 civil nuclear installations). The French public Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) has nine research reactors currently in operation: six of them are located in the southeast of France, and a new one, the Jules Horowitz reactor (JHR), is under construction on the nuclear site of Cadarache. -
