A year ago, Emmanuel Macron presented his nuclear revival project. Objective according to the government: to deal in particular with the energy and climate crises. Among the changes on the table… The rapprochement of the IRSN, Institute for Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety with the ASN (the nuclear safety authority) and the CEA, (Atomic Energy Commission). This change must be integrated into the nuclear acceleration law which arrives in parliamentary committee at the National Assembly on Wednesday (March 1, 2023) and could be voted on in plenary assembly as early as mid-March. Is this good or bad news for nuclear safety in France?
