M. Auzas, F. Gupta Abstract As technical support of the French Nuclear Safety Authority (ASN), the Institute for Radiological Protection and Nuclear Safety (IRSN) has the responsibility to critically examine the periodic safety review performed by the operator of the French research reactors. The objective of the assessment is to evaluate the safety of an installation so that the ASN might make a decision for the continuation of the reactor operation towards the next periodic safety review. In this way, a presentation of the IRSN’s safety assessment of the installation and the related recommendations to a standing panel of experts (GPR) is realized. The purpose of this paper is to present the approach of the technical assessment carried out by IRSN of periodic safety reviews for the French research reactors. At the end, some outcomes of the latest technical assessment of the periodic safety reviews of the research reactors EOLE, MINERVE and ORPHEE, are given.
