Background
This project "Transfer of Western European Regulatory Methodology and practices to the nuclear safety authorities of Ukraine" was a follow up of a previous project which was implemented through two successive contracts.
The work performed under this project concerned the following 7 technical aspects:
- standards and regulations for nuclear safety,
- development and improvement of the Ukrainian licensing systems,
- regulatory systems for monitoring operator training and licensing,
- training requirements and training packages for regulators,
- regulatory inspection of NPP pressurised components,
- radiation protection of personnel,
- environmental monitoring and releases control.
Each task was considered as an independent project under the leadership of a task leader, but the consistency of the whole work was checked in co-ordination meetings organised by the technical project leader.
