Ethics commission (CED)

Role

The Ethics Commission is an advisory body provided for in IRSN’s decree of organization. It is responsible for advising the Board on preparing the ethics policies applicable to the institute’s activities and for monitoring their implementation, particularly as regards the conditions under which separation is ensured between expert appraisals carried out on behalf of government departments and those carried out for public or private operators. It also serves as a mediator when problems of an ethical nature arise.
