The project U4.01/10E “Procedures and methods for release of materials from regulatory control” funded by the European Commission has completed successfully as per schedule.  

Upon completion of the expert review, the State Nuclear Regulatory Inspectorate of Ukraine (the SNRIU) has issued a positive conclusion regarding the document “Methodology for release of radioactive materials from regulatory control”. The methodology establishes general methodological provisions as basis for the ChNPP and other enterprises, which carry out practical activity in the area of nuclear energy utilization, to elaborate their own definite standards for release of materials from regulatory control.

Development of “Methodology for release of radioactive materials from regulatory control” is one of the key tasks under U4.01/10E project ““Procedures and methods for release of materials from regulatory control”. Previously, in the framework of this project one more task was completed, namely: elaboration of tender dossier for the following stage - design and construction of a facility for release of ChNPP materials. The EC on basis of the developed documentation held a tender; and on 18.12.2015, the appropriate Contract was awarded and now it is being implemented at the ChNPP.

Moreover, in the framework of this project the procedures and manuals for release of materials have been elaborated to be applied at Chernobyl NPP.

U4.01/10E project “Methodology for release of radioactive materials from regulatory control” has been implemented since April 2014 under contract between the EC and NUVIA a.s. (the Czech Republic). The main objective of the project is to support safe and efficient management of radioactive waste, which is subject to disposal in high-technology facilities, by minimization of waste production.
