THE INSPECTOR GENERAL’S REPORT
ON NUCLEAR SAFETY AND RADIATION PROTECTION
10
MY VIEW OF 2012
intentions to be enforced. I would like to comment on EDF
Energy’s commitment in this area, which was favourably
highlighted in a recent WANO Corporate Peer Review.
In France, I hope that the Nuclear Operations Division
will succeed with its “operational re-focusing”,
particularly in the form of increased subsidiarity and
delegation of powers to the plants. In accordance with
the nuclear safety policy of the EDF Group, I would like
to draw attention to the fact that leadership must also
find its expression at the highest levels, particularly in
corporate governance situations and in public fora.
The EDF Group also has responsibility as a leader in
international bodies such as WANO and the European
Nuclear Installations Safety Standards initiative. I am glad
to see it participating in actions such as those adopted
by WANO in Shenzhen in 2011. The EDF Group will
be reinforcing its team of engineers on secondment to
WANO in Paris from 25 members at the end of 2012 to
60 in 2015. I also hail the nomination of Jacques Regaldo
who succeeds Laurent Stricker as Chairman of WANO.
