EDF has conducted, after the Fukushima event, complementary safety assessments of its nuclear facilities. The aim of this in-depth review was to assess the resilience of each plant to extreme external hazards, situations that could lead to severe accident conditions. These analyses demonstrate a good level of safety for all of EDFʼs nuclear facilities. Supplementary measures post-Fukushima have been put forward to the ASN with the aim of continuing to improve the level of safety at the plants.
Once the ASN position is issued, EDF will develop an action plan over several years, covering both supplementary studies and modifications that have been identified.
Suite à lʼaccident de Fukushima, EDF a procédé à des évaluations complémentaires de sûreté pour lʼensemble de son parc de production. Ce réexamen approfondi a consisté à vérifier les marges de sûreté des installations face à des situations dʼagressions externes extrêmes pouvant conduire à un accident grave. Ces analyses ont permis de confirmer le bon niveau de sûreté de lʼensemble du parc nucléaire dʼEDF. Des mesures complémentaires post-Fukushima ont été proposées à lʼASN pour concourir à élever encore le niveau de sûreté des centrales.
Après lʼavis de lʼASN, EDF élaborera un plan dʼaction sur plusieurs années, comprenant à la fois les études complémentaires et les modifications décidées.
