The industrial plant of Orano Tricastin is specialised in converting and enriching uranium, and in fluorinated chemical activities. It meets all the safety and security requirements in adequation with the risks involved, to ensure the protection of persons, property, goods and the environment, both on and offsite. In the event of a major incident, an Internal Operation Plan (IOP) is set in motion to implement internal safety measures, and the Prefect's Special Intervention Plan (SIP), to prompt external assistance (firefighters, police…).

To roll out its safety and security crisis management exercises, Orano has used the collaborative software solution Crimson. The operational goal was to test and validate the alerting and communication chain in the whole decision-making process, the coordination of the first responders and crisis units towards more efficient crisis management.
