French Nuclear Energy Agency

The French Nuclear Energy Agency (or Nuclear Safety Authority, ASN) is responsible for overseeing the safety and regulation of France's nuclear power plants and activities. It ensures that nuclear operations follow strict safety standards to protect people, the environment, and public health. The ASN conducts inspections, enforces regulations, and monitors nuclear materials to prevent accidents and manage risks. It operates independently from the nuclear industry to maintain objective oversight, promoting transparency and accountability. Overall, it plays a crucial role in maintaining safe, reliable, and secure nuclear energy use in France.
