Radiation & Nuclear Applications in Belarus

IRS Use: 1,4 thousand organizations 23 thousands IRS:

industrial gamma installations gamma diagnostic and therapy devices gamma flaw detectors radioisotope devices, including radioisotope fire smoke detectors X-ray diagnostic and therapy devices X-ray flaw detectors neutron generators electron accelerators, etc.

Nuclear applications:

Research done by the Joint Institute of Power and Nuclear Research “Sosny” of the National Academy of Science of Belarus.

Radwaste facilities:

“Ekores” for medical and industrial waste “Sosny” Institute facility for liquid radioactive waste processing Chernobyl decontamination waste disposal facilities

Key Aspects of Sustainability and Safety

In-time implementation of modern safety standards into national legislation and regulatory documents as well as into regulatory practice Strong supervision focused not only on identification of violations and punishment, but consistent preventive work with operators Wide use of peer review services for getting recommendations for safety improvements from competent international experts Use and unite of all existing resources for radiation safety provision

Capacity building for nuclear power program

2012 –

Resolution of Council of Ministers #33: Joint Institute of Power and Nuclear Research SOSNY is empowered to provide scientific and technical support to NRA

2016 –

• Resolution of Government

#991 of 02 Dec. 2016 issued “On provision of scientific and technical support to Ministry for Emergency Situations”. 16

• rganizations-participants of

TSO system

2017 –

Creation of Scientific and Technical Center of Nuclear and Radiation Center started in the system of MES (Presidential Decree

• n this issue adopted in

October 2017)

The main tasks of the Center:

• provide scientific and technical support to the NRA
• coordinate TSO system
• conduct scientific research
• participate in safety review, etc.

Chernobyl accident

2007

Decision to enter nuclear power Creation of Gosatomnadzor

2018

> 30 years Chernobyl consequences overcoming > 10 years nuclear infrastructure development State programs for scientific support & training TSO system development:

2013

Gosatomnadzor enhansement (with staff increase more than twice)

since 1960-s

Scientific nuclear research by Institute of Nuclear Energy in SOSNY, including development of mobile NPP “Pamir”

Competence development is organized for all areas of GAN activities using Resources
