CLI de Gravelines

What CLI de Gravelines does

CLI de Gravelines (Commission Locale d'Information de Gravelines) is a French local information commission established in 1997 and based in Gravelines, Nord. It is a statutory public-interest body, not a commercial enterprise. Its functional mandate is to act as a structured information interface among three parties: the nuclear operator EDF (which operates the Gravelines Nuclear Power Plant, the largest in France by capacity), the nuclear safety regulators ASN and IRSN, and the resident population across the 53 communes located inside the Plan Particulier d'Intervention (PPI), the off-site emergency planning perimeter around the plant. Its core 'products' are public-facing activities rather than commercial goods: open meetings, dissemination of nuclear safety and radiological-monitoring documentation, the recurring 'Triportour' outreach bus circuit to communes within the PPI, and contributions to national transparency frameworks via membership in ANCCLI and HCTISN.

Operationally, the commission is a small, stable organisation of 7 employees. Its 'business model' is statutory grant funding rather than market revenue. Resources are contributed by four public authorities: Région Hauts-de-France, Département du Nord, Département du Pas-de-Calais, and the Communauté Urbaine de Dunkerque (CUD). It operates within the legal architecture established by the 2006 Loi TSN (transparency and security in nuclear matters) and its implementing texts, which created CLIs as the recognised local voice on nuclear information. The current strategic posture reflects heightened workload tied to the EPR2 new-reactor public debate cycle during 2024–2025, alongside expanded coordination with RTE (the French transmission system operator), indicating a broadening of infrastructure-scope engagement beyond the historical EDF-only relationship.

Direct peers

• ANCCLI - Association Nationale des Commissions Locales d'Information: National coordinating association for all French local nuclear information commissions. CLI de Gravelines is a member organization, and ANCCLI directly mirrors its mandate at the national level, providing shared resources, training, and representation to HCTISN.
• CLI de Chinon: Local information commission for the Chinon nuclear power plant in the Centre-Val de Loire region. Operates under the same French legal framework and performs the same information, public-meeting, and emergency-preparedness function for a different nuclear site.
• CLI de Fessenheim: Local information commission for the Fessenheim nuclear site (now being decommissioned). Comparable as a peer CLI; useful as a forward-looking reference case for CLI de Gravelines on what a decommissioning-era mandate looks like, given Gravelines' potential long-term transition.
• CLI de Paluel / Penly: Local information commission covering the Paluel and Penly nuclear sites in Normandy. Highly relevant peer given Penly is also an EPR2 candidate site, putting it on a comparable consultation and emergency-preparedness trajectory as Gravelines.
• CLI de Cattenom: Local information commission for the Cattenom nuclear power plant in Moselle. Functions identically to CLI de Gravelines — public information, safety liaison with EDF/ASN, and iodine-tablet distribution coordination — and is one of the most active CLIs in France.

Regional players

• SPPPI Côte d'Opale Flandre: Local industrial risk prevention commission covering the Côte d'Opale / Flandre industrial zone, including Gravelines/Dunkerque. Direct operational partner of CLI de Gravelines on the Triportour outreach program, with overlapping remit on industrial risk communication in the same geography.

Others

• Greenpeace France: Major French NGO actively engaged in nuclear policy and opposition debates around EPR2 at Gravelines. Comparable as a counterpart in the nuclear public-information ecosystem in that it shapes public discourse the CLI must respond to, though operating from an opposing position.

Broad incumbents

• HCTISN - Haut Comité pour la Transparence et l'Information sur la Sécurité Nucléaire: National transparency committee overseeing information policy on nuclear safety across France. Provides strategic-level support to CLIs and is a partner of CLI de Gravelines; comparable in mission (transparency on nuclear safety) but operating at national rather than local level.
• IRSN - Institut de Radioprotection et de Sûreté Nucléaire: France's public expert organization for nuclear safety and radiation protection. Provides technical content used by the CLI for public communication, and is comparable in that both are publicly funded bodies whose mission is to inform the public on nuclear safety topics.
• ASN - Autorité de Sûreté Nucléaire: French nuclear safety regulator. While not a CLI itself, ASN works in close operational partnership with CLI de Gravelines (participates in public meetings, provides safety documentation). It is a comparator because it performs the regulatory transparency function at national level.
