IAEA IRSS MISSION

HELCOM MORS EG 6/2016, 24-26 May 2016, Upsalla

2 weeks IAEA mission on IRSS was in Lithuania 17-29 of April 2016 IRRS missions are designed to strengthen the effectiveness of the national nuclear regulatory infrastructure, while recognizing the responsibility of each State to ensure nuclear safety.

IAEA IRSS MISSION (cont.)

“Lithuania is also very active internationally, working to strengthen the global safety regime. The IRRS mission’s recommendations and suggestions will contribute to further strengthening the nuclear safety and radiation protection infrastructure of Lithuania.”

HELCOM MORS EG 6/2016, 24-26 May 2016, Upsalla

“The Lithuanian infrastructure for nuclear safety and radiation protection, including the two regulatory authorities, has a relatively short history compared with many European countries and was created only after independence in 1990. Taking this into account, the legal and regulatory system and associated regulatory controls are remarkably well-developed, which is a significant achievement,” said team leader Ingemar Lund, Senior Adviser at the Office for International Relations at the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority.
