Abstract: We estimate the effect of local monitoring and information disclosure on safety and compliance with self-reporting standards in the French nuclear power industry. We use a novel dataset on deviations from safety, radiological and environmental standards recorded in the French nuclear fleet since 1978. We find that local monitoring and information disclosure increase compliance substantially. However, we fail to find any effect on safety in the short run.
