Assessment and Licensing Department
This Department is generally responsible for exercising regulatory control through assessment and licensing in areas related to nuclear safety in accordance with the Law (as amended), its Executive Regulations, regulations and all other rules and decrees to ensure the safety and protection of humans, property and the environment from the harmful effects of ionizing radiation.
The functions of this Department include implementation of ENRRA’s regulatory activities related to the licensing of nuclear materials, nuclear installations and personnel. Assesses and prepares for the issuance of licenses and permits, as well as reasons for refusal, amendment, supplement, renewal, termination and revocation of licenses and permits for:
- Nuclear power plants,
- Research reactors,
- Spent fuel management installations,
- Specialized training licenses for activities in nuclear installations and with sources of ionizing radiation.
It reviews and evaluates safety analysis reports for nuclear installations. Issues guidelines and imposes conditions on licenses and permits. Assess the design basis and the operation of structures, systems, and equipment, including high-risk installations related to nuclear safety and their compliance with established requirements and proposes and supervises the execution of additional studies, including through independent expertise, of nuclear safety-related structures, systems and equipment, including of high-risk installations, analysis and assessments of transient and emergency modes of nuclear power plants, reliability, thermal-hydraulic and probabilistic safety analyses, strength calculations of pipes and equipment (including of high-risk installations), projects for the construction of nuclear installations and their decommissioning, computer programs and models related to nuclear safety. Participates in the development of regulations to implement the Law (as amended) and proposes amendments, if necessary.
Nuclear Inspection and Enforcement Department
Plans and conducts inspections, assesses licensing requirements and required measures to optimize safety in nuclear installations, in the management of spent fuel and radioactive waste and decommissioning of nuclear installations. Participates, as necessary, in the analysis and assessment of the radiation situation in the controlled area and in the supervised area of nuclear installations as well as in the area of preventive protective measures and in the monitored area around nuclear installations. Verifies the technical status and implementation of the periodic testing and maintenance schedules of nuclear safety and radiation protection structures, systems and components. Controls the conduct of non-destructive testing of equipment associated with nuclear safety and radiation protection. Participates in the evaluation processes of documents submitted by the applicant, proposes requiring additional information for compliance with the requirements on nuclear safety. Participates in the emergency team of ENRRA for action in case of accidents and transboundary transfer of radioactive substances. Controls the compliance with the conditions of the issued licenses and permits for activities with nuclear power plants, research reactors and spent nuclear fuel management installations. Verifies the technical status and implementation of the periodic testing and maintenance schedules of nuclear safety and radiation protection structures, systems and components.
