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