[3] As of March 2011 she was Honorary Research Director at the National Centre for Scientific Research and president of GSIEN. [4] She is also Vice President of the Science Committee of Association Nationale des Comités et Commissions Locales d'Information (ANCCLI) (National Association of Local Information Committees and Commissions) [5] and a member of ANCCLI's High Committee for Transparency and Information on Nuclear Safety . [4] [6] [7] [8]
Although she is not an opponent of nuclear power per se, Sené is a high-profile critic of the French nuclear power programme due to concerns about its safety, the handling of nuclear waste and its imposition without public debate. [9] She worked on high energy physics at the École Polytechnique at the time of GSIEN's foundation. [10]
In 1998 Monique Sené was awarded by Dominique Voynet the rank of Chevalier of the National Order of the Legion of Honour for her work as anti–nuclear power activist. [2] [11]
