EUROPEAID/135607/DH/SER/UA: ENPI - SUPPORT TO THE UKRAINIAN REGULATORY AUTHORITIES

Description

The project will support the nuclear regulatory authority of Ukraine (SNRIU) in 3 different domains.

A) Safe radioactive waste management at Vektor industrial complex in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone

The expected outputs will be the strengthening of SNRIU capabilities in use of international approaches and methodologies for safety assessments of activities and facilities for radioactive waste management and review (technical evaluation) of operator submittals.

B) Licensing of new nuclear subcritical facility - neutron source based on an electron accelerator-driven subcritical assembly

Ukraine is constructing a neutron source based on an electron accelerator-driven subcritical assembly. The project will include familiarization with EU experience in design, licensing and operation of accelerator-driven subcritical assemblies, development of regulations and methodologies on the safety assessment and licensing of the neutron source and development of calculation models for the regulatory review.

C) Oversight and assessment of nuclear and radiation safety in terms of the licensee management system and human factor

SNRIU has experience in safety assessments and development of technical measures. Nevertheless, there is a lack of scientific and practical developments related to human factors. SNRIU will be supported in the improvement of regulatory activities related to the assessment and review of human factors related to nuclear and radiation safety.
