  1. SSTC-NRS IN THE EU NUCLEAR SAFETY COOPERATION Scientific and Technical Support to Regulation of Nuclear and Radiation Safety, Kiev The views expressed are purely those of the authors and may not in any circumstances be regarded as stating an official position of the European Commission Ynte Stockmann*, Henri Pauwels*, Renato Mele***JRC-F5 Scientific Officer,*EuropeAid-D5 Project Manager, **Former EuropeAid-D5 Sector Head Stockmann, Pauwels, Mele: SSTC-NRS in the EU nuclear Safety Cooperation

  2. Content • EU nuclear safety cooperation • TACIS • INSC • Three Pillar model of Nuclear Safety Regulatory Cooperation • EU-Ukraine cooperationDevelopment of SSTC-NRS role • Future • Conclusion Stockmann, Pauwels, Mele: SSTC-NRS in the EU nuclear Safety Cooperation

  3. TACIS-INSC History Stockmann, Pauwels, Mele: SSTC-NRS in the EU nuclear Safety Cooperation

  4. EU IPA TACIS-INSC INSC INSC partner countries Stockmann, Pauwels, Mele: SSTC-NRS in the EU nuclear Safety Cooperation

  5. TACIS/ INSC Budget for nuclear safety regulatory cooperation projects Stockmann, Pauwels, Mele: SSTC-NRS in the EU nuclear Safety Cooperation

  6. Nulear Safety Regulatory Cooperation, Three Pillars Stockmann, Pauwels, Mele: SSTC-NRS in the EU nuclear Safety Cooperation

  7. Nuclear Safety Regulatory Development General • A strong independent nuclear safety regulator needs a strong regulatory framework: • Laws • Internal Structure of the NRA, including TSO Stockmann, Pauwels, Mele: SSTC-NRS in the EU nuclear Safety Cooperation

  8. Nuclear Safety Regulatory Development Ukraine, examples • Law: • Nuclear Law • Guidelines • General safety issues of nuclear power plants • Nuclear Safety Rules of Reactor Facilities of nuclear power plants • Requirements to radiation monitoring of the environment in uranium mining and milling industry • Internal Structure • Hardware • Computers etc. • QA Procedures: • Inspection • Assessment Stockmann, Pauwels, Mele: SSTC-NRS in the EU nuclear Safety Cooperation

  9. 2+2 Nuclear Safety Stockmann, Pauwels, Mele: SSTC-NRS in the EU nuclear Safety Cooperation

  10. 2+2 Nuclear Safety Ukraine examples • Assessment of implementation of waste treatment facilities, such as supercompacting facilities for Rovno NPP and Zaporozhye NPP. • Analysis of applicability of the French “superpipe” concept for Ukrainian nuclear power plants • Assessment of the modernisation programme for Ukrainian NPP at various stages Stockmann, Pauwels, Mele: SSTC-NRS in the EU nuclear Safety Cooperation

  11. Training and Tutoring Regulatory Nuclear Safety • High demands on technical competence • continuous new information, • general, in depth and specific training. Stockmann, Pauwels, Mele: SSTC-NRS in the EU nuclear Safety Cooperation

  12. Nuclear safety Regulatory Training and Tutoring Ukraine examples • Training in the use of thermal-hydraulic codes Development of 5 module training course: “General issues of NRS assurance.” • Workshops • Site visits in EU Stockmann, Pauwels, Mele: SSTC-NRS in the EU nuclear Safety Cooperation

  13. SSTC-Involvement past Nuclear Safety Projects • Supply: • Receive Equipment • Service Contracts: • Receive training, including site visits and workshops Stockmann, Pauwels, Mele: SSTC-NRS in the EU nuclear Safety Cooperation

  14. SSTC-NRS Involvement Ongoing • Participation in Service contracts managed by Riskaudit in Ukraine: • Draft technical guidelines • Joint assessment of licensing documentation • Joint assessment of modification implementation • Translation of technical documents • Project management support Stockmann, Pauwels, Mele: SSTC-NRS in the EU nuclear Safety Cooperation

  15. Participation of Riskaudit's partners in ongoing EC contracts in Ukraine* (Fees) *Graph, courtesy of Riskaudit, February 2012 Stockmann, Pauwels, Mele: SSTC-NRS in the EU nuclear Safety Cooperation

  16. Actual Developments SSTC-NRS/ EU • Participation as consortium subcontractor in Riskaudit contract in Belarus as first and only non-EU participant • Consortium member in Multi country nuclear regulatory safety Training and Tutoring project MC3.0/10 Lot 2. Stockmann, Pauwels, Mele: SSTC-NRS in the EU nuclear Safety Cooperation

  17. Future role of SSTC-NRS in EU projects • Nuclear safety support to Ukraine will decrease • Only specific specialized projects in Ukraine • Limited eligible activities in Ukraine • Participation in projects outside Ukraine Stockmann, Pauwels, Mele: SSTC-NRS in the EU nuclear Safety Cooperation

  18. Conclusion • Extensive development in the participation of SSTC-NRS in EU projects in 20 years • From beneficiary, via active participant to consortium partner • Development of SSTC-NRS is an exemplary success of EU nuclear safety cooperation projects Stockmann, Pauwels, Mele: SSTC-NRS in the EU nuclear Safety Cooperation
