Nulear Safety Regulatory Cooperation, Three Pillars
22 March 2012 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
22 March 2012 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:InspectionAssessment

2+2 Nuclear Safety
22 March 2012 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

11
Training and Tutoring Regulatory Nuclear Safety
• High demands on technical competence
• continuous new information,
• general, in depth and specific training.
22 March 2012 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
22 March 2012 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
22 March 2012 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

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.

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

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
