Le centre nucléaire de Marcoule, mis en service en 1955 par le CEA, accueille les premiers réacteurs français de dimension industrielle. Leur exploitation pose un immense défi en matière de sécurité radiologique, auquel répond la création du Service de Protection contre les Radiations (SPR). Ce dernier rationalise la radioprotection et élabore sa doctrine en même temps qu’il développe ses moyens de contrôle et de surveillance. Conscient de l’ampleur de sa mission, le SPR cherche à réduire sa tâche en promouvant la contribution active du personnel à sa propre protection. Pour ce faire, il développe un programme d’éducation en matière de risque radioactif. Celui-ci est destiné aux agents de Marcoule, mais aussi au grand public, parmi lequel sont recrutés les travailleurs du nucléaire. Ce programme éducatif, illustré par le dessinateur Jacques Castan, participe ainsi de l’effort de rationalisation de la radioprotection entrepris par le SPR.
Abstract
The Marcoule nuclear centre, commissioned in 1955 by the CEA, is home to France’s first industrial-scale reactors. Their operation posed a huge challenge in terms of radiological safety, to which the Radiation Protection Department (SPR) was created in response. The SPR is rationalising radiation protection and developing its doctrine at the same time as developing its control and monitoring resources. Aware of the scope of its mission, the SPR sought to reduce its workload by promoting the active contribution of staff to their own protection. To this end, it is developing a radioactive risk education programme. It is aimed not only at Marcoule staff, but also at the public, from whom nuclear workers are recruited. This educational programme, illustrated by the drawer Jacques Castan, is part of the effort to rationalise radiation protection undertaken by the SPR.
