• general legal and regulatory framework in the field of atomic energy
use
• independence of regulatory bodies, Regulator’ authority to issue
Federal Norms and Rules, Safety Guides

• constant supervision regime for certain facilities (list of these facilities
is approved by Government, it includes major RW storage and
disposal sites)
• Governmental competence for decisions of RW storage and disposal
facilities siting and construction with consent of regional authorities

environment, safety of current and future generations shall be
assured
• fulfilment of international obligations signed by Russia

State safety policy basics – 3 / 3
Federal Law No.190-FZ “On radioactive waste management ”
established
• classification of RW with introduction of such new waste categories as
“exceptional” (or “special”) and retrievable waste, VLLW
• responsibilities of Government, federal ministries and services, regional
and local authorities
• RW ownership and waste generators responsibility, including State
responsibility for all RW accumulated before 2011
• Unified State System for radioactive waste management (USS RW)
• obligation of RW final disposal
• interdependency of RW generation and management stages until disposal
• State accounting and control of RW, registration of RW and RW storages
• accessibility of information
• other issues including prohibition of RW import into Russian Federation

Steady development of Federal regulations and
rules on RW management aiming to
implement the provisions of the Federal Law No. 190-FZ and Acts
of the RF Government; new approaches to RW classification based
on disposal approach
establish safety requirements for exceptional (non-retrievable) RW
management, criteria and safety requirements to facilities for
storage of exceptional RW
identify general WAC for disposal and the requirements to
establish specific WAC for particular RW disposal facility
establish general requirements to safety demonstration of RW
management, long-term safety assessment of RW disposal and
periodical safety assessment of RW management facilities

Government
Development of regulatory and administrative basis for USS RW, updating
the system of federal regulations and rules, safety guides
First stage related to the USS RW has been completed (2011-2014)
• regulatory and organizational framework
• registration of the accumulated RW and storage sites
• plans for RW disposal facilities siting and construction
Second stage of the USS RW is being implemented (2015-2017)
• Creation of LL&IL RW disposal system and waste conditioning
capacities
Third stage of the USS RW (2017-2021) is being developed
• Disposal of LL&IL RW
• Construction of deep geological repository (licensing of Underground
Research Laboratory is underway)

Conclusions
Comprehensive legal and regulatory framework is established in
the Russian Federation for RW management in accordance with
national and international experience and IAEA safety standards
Further development of the federal regulations will provide
scientifically sound basis for
• provision, demonstration and regulation of RW management safety
• establishing of clear regulatory framework for implementation of
RW management projects envisaged by the Federal Target
Programs including ‘nuclear legacy’ challenges in the Russian
Federation
Thank you for attention!
