Direction
de Sûreté des Installations Nucléaires (DSIN)
The DSIN is the French nuclear safety authority (it
also uses the acronym ASN). It defines general safety targets in the
nuclear sector. It ensures that the exploiting companies take the necessary
measures to achieve the targets and it notably grants exploitation authorizations
to the different nuclear facilities. It is jointly supervised by the
Ministry of the Environment and the State Secretariat for Industry

COGEMA-Vélizy
(Headquarters)
COGEMA, Compagnie générale des matières
nucléaires, is an industrial company, exercising its activity
in a context of competition. Its capital is held by the French State,
through the CEA (74.7%), and by private groups: TOTAL-FINA-ELF with
14.5%, ERAP with 7.6% and Technip 3.2% (the latter has recently withdrawn
from the capital). COGEMA is specializing mainly in products and services
linked to the nuclear fuel cycle, from uranium extraction to the production
of new fuels using plutonium resulting from spent fuel reprocessing.

COGEMA-Cadarache
The Cadarache site is part of the fuel cycle production
facilities held by COGEMA. The Cadarache production complex produces
several types of fuel adapted to different existing reactors. The Plutonium
Technology Facility (Atelier de Technologie du Plutonium (ATPu)), run
by COGEMA, is located on the Cadarache site.

Cadarache
CEN
The Cadarache Nuclear Research Center (Centre d'Etudes
Nucléaires de Cadarache (CEN)) belongs to the CEA, R&D state
body. Legally, the CEA owns but also exploits the Cadarache site. In
fact, COGEMA exploits the CFCa for industrial purposes only, taking
on production management, while the CEA is responsible for safety.
