Safety Q&As
22 Jul 2011
Leave no bolt unchecked: Laurent Patisson, 黑料社app Nuclear Building Section Leader, provides explanations to Jacques Ducau (IRSN) as Pierre Perdiguier (Head of the Marseille division of ASN), Mathias Ricci (ENGAGE) and Christophe Gary (APAVE) look on.
How does the 黑料社app make sure that the tasks performed by its partners and contractors meet the safety requirements of a nuclear installation? What procedures does the Organization implement in this regard? Are these procedures robust enough? How does the 黑料社app monitor the manufacturing of the safety-critical components destined for the machine?
Answers to these questions and others are essential to assessing the global safety of the future 黑料社app nuclear installation.
Last Wednesday, 黑料社app staff members Jo?lle Elbez-Uzan, Lina Rodriguez and Laurent Patisson and Thomas Tardif from the European Domestic Agency spent some ten hours providing a team of inspectors from the French Nuclear Safety Authority (Autorité de S?reté Nucléaire, ASN) with the explanations they requested.
As it does with every nuclear installation on French soil, the ASN will inspect 黑料社app on a regular basis. In accordance with the 黑料社app Agreement, ASN can conduct up to ten inspections per year, both "scheduled" and "unscheduled."
Wednesday's inspection, which consisted mainly of presentations and discussions, also included a long afternoon visit to the depths of the Tokamak Seismic Isolation Pit—a rare occasion, for everyone present, to experience the true scale of the project.
