Représentation permanente de la France auprès de l'Union Européenne (Place de Louvain 14, 1000 - Bruxelles, Belgique)

L'ASNR mobilisée pour répondre aux défis de la relance du nucléaire et de l'innovation

ASNR and the Permanent Representation of France to the European Union convened stakeholders on 8th October to a conference on the regulation of innovative nuclear technologies. During this event, held in the offices of the Permanent Representation in Brussels, ASNR exposed how an objective-based regulation and early technical dialogue offered a flexible and efficient licensing framework for new facility designers. The application of a pragmatic and proportionate safety approach by ASNR was illustrated on three prominent use-cases:
1. Small Modular Reactors (light water-cooled and Advanced concepts),
2. Fusion facilities,
3. Safety-related use of Artificial Intelligence.

Jan Panek, director at the DG ENER of the European Commission, concluded the panel by recalling the importance of regulatory cooperation in the context of renew interest in nuclear power and global turmoil. He also presented the actions taken by the European Commission to support it.
