The licensing procedure in France

Description

Large nuclear installations in France are classified into categories and are governed by special regulations which distinguish them from other hazardous or noxious establishments. These regulations subject nuclear installations to a prior licensing system, the procedure for which is entrusted to the Central service for the Safety of Nuclear Installations, the specialized body of the Ministry for Industry and Research. Its officials exercise their control throughout the construction stage of the installations and their operation. The French Atomic Energy Commission provides the Service with considerable technical support. Nuclear installations are also controlled from the viewpoint of radiation protection by the Central Service for the protection Against Ionizing Radiation, a body under the authority of the Ministry of Health.
