In addition to the report to be made to the DGAC, any event occurring in the territory of France involving the transport of radioactive substances must be reported by the operator (or a representative) within 48 hours to the ASN through the ASN teleservices portal (https://teleservices.asn.fr/, under the “Transport of radioactive substances” section).

This obligation to report also applies to:

—   ground handling agents at the airport acting on behalf of the operator;

—   any entity responsible for the loading/unloading of dangerous goods; and

—   any entity responsible for the handling and storage of dangerous goods at the airport

in French territory.

The procedures for reporting to the ASN events associated with the transport of radioactive substances are specified in ASN Guide No. 31 available on the website: www.asn.fr.

A Significant Event Report must be produced within two months of the report of the significant event involving the transport of radioactive substances. It must include a detailed analysis of the event and indicate the corrective measures implemented or planned.
