ATOMS FOR THE FUTURE – October 22nd – 25th 2012
ANCCLINational Association of Commitees and
Commission of Information
1
A national network to discuss about transparency and nuclear safety
2
In the context of the governance of nuclear activities,
especially in the field of the safety and the radioactive waste
management, the self-structuring of civil society is a
necessary condition of the citizens’ action.
The experience of French “Local Commissions of
Information” (CLIs) and their national federation the
(ANCCLI) represent an interesting and original
example of local actors empowerment.
Governance and transparency
ATOMS FOR THE FUTURE - October 22nd - 25th, 2012

The first CLI was created in Fessenheim in 1977
In 1981, the act of the Prime Minister known as “Circulaire Mauroy”opened the way to the official creation of CLIs in the vicinity of nuclear
installations by Regional Councils
The 2006 Law on transparency and security in the nuclear field included provisions on the organisation, role and funding of the CLIs and
reinforced the legal basis of their missions
The TSN law confirm the existence of a national federation - ANCCLI
2012 : 38 CLIs exist in France – 36 of them are members of the ANCCLI
A progressive structuring of the civil society….

Local Commissions of Information….(CLI)
Represent a diversity of contexts and experiences that sheds light on the issue of the contribution of local actors to safety and protection of people and the environment around nuclear sites
Facilitate dialogue of local actors with public authorities and operators
They address a variety of issues linked to the safety of the nuclearsite and its impacts
Pluralistic dialogue forums gathering various types of local actors (elected representatives, NGOs, local experts, trade unions and other local organisations)

ANCCLINationale Association of Local Information Commissions ?
In order to fulfil their missions, the CLIs may need to exchangeinformation or to be represented at the national level, so in 2000 the ANCCLI is created to :
Favour exchanges of experience and sharing of information between CLIs
Define a representation of all the CLIs
Establish relations with national (ministries, ASN, HCTISN, IRSN…) and international organisations
Offer logistic support to the CLIs
Organise various pedagogic initiatives for the CLIs (visit of sites, formations ...)

The CLIs want’s to be an autonomous actorin the field of the monitoring of nuclear facilities
The mission of information of the CLIs seems clear but is nonetheless complex or ambivalent : What is the source of the information ? What is the content of this or that piece of information? What is its use? To whom should it be diffuse?
The operator and the Nuclear Safety Authority are the first source of information of the CLIs (complemented by other sources of information)
The CLIs pay attention to a wide variety of issues: respect of the norms (composition of the discharges, temperature of the
discharged water ...) periodic inspections, environmental monitoring, discharge and take authorisations, risk factors, technical innovation (e.g. the EPR), changes in the workforce, the
equipment or the methods

Competence building and access to expertise are conditions that are essential for effective participation of society actors in the instruction of files upstream of the decisions
CLIs need to build a citizen instruction on technical files with two major purposes :
to understand the issues and feed them with questions asked by society
to effectively question the sponsors of technical files and influence the decisions
CLI, citizen instruction for an involvement in the decision process ….

ANCLI : federating means and competencesto inform and investigate
ATOMS FOR THE FUTURE - October 22nd - 25th, 2012
The CLIs are primarily local organisations. Their missions of information and monitoring concern a particular facility and directed towards local populations. However, in order to fulfil their missions, the CLIs may need to exchange information or to be represented at the national level
2000 : The National Association of the CLIs is createand be made by the Presidents of the CLIs
2005 : ANCCLI structures its memberships into 4 collegescorresponding of the pluralistic categories of CLI members
2006 : in compliance with the TSN law – ANCLI becomeANCCLI
(inclusion of the Committee of information around military nuclear activities)
16
ANCLI : pooling resources in order to raise and investigat issues
ATOMS FOR THE FUTURE - October 22nd - 25th, 2012
The ANCCLI :
Favouring competence building and access to expertise
Gathering the CLI to issues of common interest for them
Favouring access to external (private or public) expertise resources or help for the development of inner expertise capacities
Capitalises knowledge and expertise and thus strengthens the position of the CLIs.

White papers about the role of the CLIs and ANCCLIin the governance system
ATOMS FOR THE FUTURE - October 22nd - 25th, 2012
In 2005, while the Law on nuclear transparency and safety was in the process of being finalised, the CLIs made the lawmaker aware of their 25-years experience and of their expectations under the form of a White Paper on local governance of nuclear sites so that is could be taken into account into the new law.
The White Papers outline shared directions for the CLIs and put forward their experience and their ambitions for the future to their institutional interlocutors.
In 2006, ANCLI issued a second White Paper on radioactive materials and waste and local communities
Both White Papers were drafted by working groups composed of members from different CLIs.
18
The Scientific Committee of ANCCLI
ATOMS FOR THE FUTURE - October 22nd - 25th, 2012
The Scientific Committee structure the knowledge and competences of the CLIs :
The Scientific Committee can be seized by ANCCLI or by the CLIs
It gathers diversified competences concerning nuclear issues, from hydrogeology to physics, as well as social sciences or epidemiology
Advises and assists the CLIs and ANCCLI in theirexpertises and scientific investigations
Favours the development of reflections and exchanges within the CLIs and promotesconferences and debates
Plays an advisory role for the drafting of the publications of the CLIs and ANCCLI
19
Permanent working groups
ATOMS FOR THE FUTURE - October 22nd - 25th, 2012
Working groups to takes up sensitive and topical issues which any CLI is likely to be confronted with : radioactive waste, new reactors, post-accident issues, decommissioning…
The objective of these working groups is to answer complex citizen questionings which necessitate integrating scientific, technical, social, or even ethical dimensions of the issues considered
For this, the permanent working groups acquire by themselves thenecessary competences, appropriate knowledges, initiate debates and more generally favour the development of questionings about the issue they investigate
To date, three permanent working groups were created on “radioactive waste and materials”, “Safety”, and “territories and post-accident issues”.

CLI and ANCCLI a recognized participatory governance model in Europe
Since 2009, the ANCCLI initiate a European process of consultation and cooperation around the application of the Aarhus Convention (CAN) in the field of the nuclear activity
The experience of European Stress Tests on Nuclear Safety has demonstrated the relevance of the contribution of civil society to continuous improvement and strengthening of the safety nuclear installations
A statement echoed by many European NGOs involved in daily monitoring of european nuclear activities which emphasize the specificity of participatory governance model provided by the CLI and ANCCLI in France
In this perspective, ANCCLI initiate an opening consultation for structuring an European civil society organization to
enhance the transparency of nuclear activities Nuclear Transparency Watch - NTW
