From Post-Chernobyl to Nuclear Country: Belarus Experience and Importance of Radiation Safety in All Things Nuclear Olga LUGOVSKAYA Head of the Department for Nuclear and Radiation Safety of the Ministry for Emergency Situations of the Republic of Belarus (Gosatomnadzor)

Chernobyl consequences for Belarus. General information 23% of the territory 479 settlements New institutions & с contaminated by cesium-137 abandoned organisations higher than 37 kBq/m 2 Scientific > 2 200 000 people 46 500 km 2 Educational affected Equipment manufactures Administrative State systems created for: radioecological monitoring control of radioactive contamination radwaste management in food and products management of abandoned zones creation of network of radiological scientific support of Chernobyl equipment manufactures consequences overcoming medical surveillance and treatment training of specialists with necessary of the affected population competences (with ISEU as basic dose monitoring (including State organization not only Belarus but for Dose Registry) CIS) management of economical activities informing people on safety aspects of on the affected territories and its living in contaminated areas scientific support emergency preparedness and response for radiological accidents (as a part of EPR for all emergency situations)

Radiation & Nuclear Applications in Belarus IRS Use: 1,4 thousand organizations Nuclear applications: 23 thousands IRS: Research done by the Joint industrial gamma installations Institute of Power and Nuclear gamma diagnostic and therapy Research “ Sosny ” of the National devices Academy of Science of Belarus. gamma flaw detectors radioisotope devices, including radioisotope fire smoke detectors X-ray diagnostic and therapy Radwaste facilities: devices “ Ekores ” for medical and industrial X-ray flaw detectors waste neutron generators “ Sosny ” Institute facility for liquid electron accelerators, radioactive waste processing etc. Chernobyl decontamination waste disposal facilities

Key Aspects of Sustainability and Safety In-time implementation of modern safety standards into national legislation and regulatory documents as well as into regulatory practice Strong supervision focused not only on identification of violations and punishment, but consistent preventive work with operators Wide use of peer review services for getting recommendations for safety improvements from competent international experts Use and unite of all existing resources for radiation safety provision

Capacity building for nuclear power program 2007 2013 2018 since 1960-s 1986 Decision to enter Gosatomnadzor Scientific nuclear Chernobyl accident nuclear power enhansement (with research by Institute of Creation of staff increase more Nuclear Energy in SOSNY, Gosatomnadzor than twice) including development of > 30 years Chernobyl consequences overcoming mobile NPP “ Pamir ” > 10 years nuclear infrastructure development State programs for scientific support & training TSO system development: 2012 – 2016 – 2017 – • Resolution of Government Resolution of Council of Creation of Scientific and #991 of 02 Dec. 2016 issued Ministers #33: Joint Technical Center of Nuclear “ On provision of scientific and Institute of Power and and Radiation Center technical support to Ministry Nuclear Research SOSNY started in the system of for Emergency Situations ” . 16 is empowered to provide MES (Presidential Decree organizations-participants of on this issue adopted in scientific and technical TSO system October 2017) support to NRA The main tasks of the Center: • provide scientific and technical support to the NRA • coordinate TSO system • conduct scientific research • participate in safety review, etc.

Competence development is organized for all areas of GAN activities using Resources External * Internal • EC technical cooperation projects • State training program up to 2020 • IAEA (national/regional projects) • Sharing of experience • Bilateral cooperation (9+2 agreements) • Information bases • RCF (since 2012), Forum WWER (since • Library creation • Internships/tutoring 2015), WENRA(since 2015) * CNS CRR, Area of Good Performance 1: “ 81 regulatory employees have studied abroad in the framework of IAEA and EU international cooperation projects and bilateral basis ” initially proposed by USA
