Law 2/1985 of 21 January on Civil Protection establishes that the permanent action of the public authorities will be directed to the study and prevention of situations of serious risk, disaster or public calamity and protection. and relief of persons and property in cases where such situations occur.

In this area, accidents that may arise in the functioning of the Spanish nuclear power stations or stops while storing spent fuel may cause situations of serious risk, forcing the Administration to General of the State, in concurrence with other administrations, to have the necessary planning measures. These include the preventive actions contemplated in the Basic Plan of Nuclear Emergency (PLABEN), approved by Royal Decree 1546/2004 of 25 June, as amended by Royal Decree 1428/2009 of 11 September, as a guideline which contains the essential rules and criteria for the development, implementation and maintenance of the effectiveness of civil protection nuclear emergency plans.

Planning for nuclear emergencies is organized at two levels, administratively different but complementary in emergency intervention.

On the one hand, the actions within the nuclear power plant corresponding to the Plan of the Interior Emergency (PEI), regulated by the Regulation on Nuclear and Radiactive Facilities, approved by the Royal Decree 1836/1999 of 3 December and which corresponds conceptually to the obligations of corporate self-protection established in general in Law 2/1985 of 21 January; on the other hand, the activities outside the nuclear power plant, corresponding to the Nuclear Emergency Plans of the external response level, regulated for the current PLABEN.

The nuclear emergency plans of the level of external response derived from the PLABEN are the Nuclear Emergency Plans for Nuclear Power Plants (PEN), which in turn include the action plans of the groups. Operational and municipal action plans in the nuclear emergency (PAMEN), as well as the Nuclear Emergency Plan of the Central Response and Support Level (PENCRA).

In order to establish mechanisms for the effective implementation of the PEN in which local administration is involved, investments have been made during the last few years for the material resources and resources of a different nature, funded directly by the Ministry of the Interior through annual calls for grants. This is not obice so that it is necessary to continue improving the operativity achieved and maintain it over time, for which the Ministry of the Interior has developed a Strategic Plan of Grants for the triennium 2015-2017 in which reflect the broad lines of action which are intended to be carried out in this field. This Strategic Plan gives compliance to the already mentioned PLABEN, whose competence corresponds to the General Administration of the State with the contest of the remaining public administrations.

As is logical, the serious consequences that can be derived from accidents at nuclear power stations do not know the territorial limits of the autonomous communities. This circumstance has been highlighted by the Constitutional Court (STC 133/1990 of 19 July) when it points out that the emergency situation under the PLABEN is "the situation concerning nuclear accidents in nuclear installations". This is a potential impact on the outside world, which is an assumption in which the national interest can be affected, with a supra-regional dimension. "

Therefore, it is clear that the coordination of all public administrations in this field is necessary, either in order to provide an answer, be it in a prevention role, which is what the objective of this line pursues. of grants.

As far as grants or aid are concerned, the constitutional case law has supported the legitimacy of state intervention with STCs 13/1992, 6 February, and 16/1996, of 1 February. In fact, the Constitutional Court understands that " the State has jurisdiction in matters of civil protection (Article 149.1.29 EC), concurrent with that held by the Autonomous Communities, in the terms declared by the STC 133/1990, allows, among other things, to mobilize resources in case of an emergency when a national interest is present, or requires a national coordination or direction of all the administrations concerned, by the scope and dimension of the emergency ".

In this way, the exercise of state powers is fully justified by the fact that the Constitution reserves the exclusive competence of the State in this matter. For the same reason, subsidies in this field should be uniform and general in nature for the entire national territory, in order to ensure the same possibilities for obtaining and enjoying their potential recipients and ensuring, in the same way, the effectiveness of the Nuclear Emergency Plans in cases of accidents that require the provision of resources and resources at a higher level than the regional level.

On the other hand, coordination with local authorities is governed by the provisions of Article 10 of Law 7/1985 of 2 April, regulating the Local Government Bases, without the coordination functions being able to affect in no case to the autonomy of the local entities.

Exposed the competitive and basic material aspects, the application of this subsidy line is effected through the ordinary competitive concurrency regime, in accordance with the provisions of Article 22.1 of the Law 38/2003, of November 17, General of Grants. The competition for the grant of subsidies lies with the Minister of the Interior, for which it is necessary to approve previously a regulatory basis by means of this ministerial order, as laid down in Article 17 of the aforementioned Law. 38/2003, dated November 17.

This provision establishes the subject of the grant line, as well as the beneficiaries to which it is intended, namely local authorities corresponding to the municipalities designated as 'zone I municipalities' and those which are 'Sedes'. of Classification and Discontamination Stations (ECD) or "Base Areas of Social Reception" (ABRS) in the PEN.

Eligible actions are regulated, the maximum amounts that can be granted per beneficiary, the percentage of funding for certain infrastructures that have already been the subject of special attention during periods the procedure for processing and the criteria for the assessment of applications which, in order to ensure an objective order of precedence between the applications submitted, have been extended in relation to those laid down in the regulatory bases for the granting of subsidies to local entities attached to the Nuclear Emergency Plans implemented during the period 2012-2014.

Also, the composition of the Valuation Commission is regulated, as a collegiate body constituted in the Directorate General of Civil Protection and Emergencies; and it is determined that the payment of the grants will be made in character prior to the performance of the activity, after the beneficiary has justified the award of the relevant contract. After payment, it shall be required to present a supporting account.

In order to ensure transparency in the procedure, the mandatory advertising of the calls for grants will be given by means of the official publication required by Law 38/2003 of 17 November, and its Regulation of development, approved by Royal Decree 887/2006 of 21 June. In addition, transparency is ensured through the referral of information to the National Grant Database, in accordance with the provisions of Articles 18 and 20 of Law 38/2003 of 17 November, taking into account the changes introduced by Law 15/2014, of 16 September, of rationalisation of the public sector and other measures of administrative reform.

Finally, the regime of infringements and penalties is established, together with the possibilities for the reimbursement of the grants by the beneficiaries, in the cases provided for in Title II of Law 38/2003 of 17 November.
