Question 32125 — waste

Summary

Between 1960 and 1966, France carried out 17 nuclear experiments on the Reggane and In Ekker sites. These installations were subsequently dismantled and the sites returned to the Algerian authorities, in accordance with the Evian agreements. In 1999, at the request of Algeria, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) led a mission to assess the radiological situation of former French nuclear test sites. In addition, France transmitted to the IAEA a summary of the elements relating to the location of the experiments, the techniques used, and its extrapolation in 1999. It also communicated a radiological report that it had carried out between 1966 and 1967. The Agency's preliminary report was made public in 2005 after amendments and agreement from the Algerian authorities. In 2001, in a report by the Parliamentary Office for the Evaluation of scientific and technological choices, the deputy Christian Bataille and the senator Henri Revol presented the areas concerned and the environmental and health impacts of the nuclear tests carried out by France between 1960 and 1996, and elements of comparison with the tests of other nuclear powers.
