Written by BelTA

The next (eighth) National Report on the implementation of the Convention on Nuclear Safety has been prepared in Belarus, BelTA was told in the Department for Nuclear and Radiation Safety of the Ministry of Emergency Situations (Gosatomnadzor).

Gosatomnadzor was involved in the development of the report in collaboration with interested government bodies and organizations. In accordance with international obligations, the report has been submitted to the IAEA for consideration. The document is available on the Gosatomnadzor website.

The countries participating in the convention (contracting parties) prepare national reports on its implementation every 3 years. The 8th National Report reflects the fulfillment of the obligations of Belarus in 2016-2019, taking into account the construction of the first NPP.

The report provides information on the legislative and regulatory framework for nuclear and radiation safety, the regulatory body, the responsibility of the license holder, safety priority, financial and human resources, human factors, quality assurance, safety assessment and verification, radiation protection, emergency preparedness, and on other issues.

According to the established procedure, countries that have ratified the convention will study the national reports of other contracting parties for 3 months and formulate questions and comments on them. The protection of national reports will take place in March-April 2020 at the IAEA site during the next meeting of the contracting parties.

The Convention on Nuclear Safety was adopted on June 17, 1994. It aims to achieve and maintain a high level of nuclear safety worldwide through the strengthening of national measures and international cooperation, the creation and maintenance of effective means of protection against potential radiation hazards at nuclear facilities, the prevention of accidents with radiological consequences and the mitigation of their consequences if they will happen. Belarus ratified the Convention on Nuclear Safety in 1998.
