The objective of the Project “Enhancing Nuclear Safety and Security in Romania – Improving Disaster Resilience and Preparedness for Response to Nuclear and Radiological Events” is to improve the national capabilities for preventing terrorist acts and accidents in the nuclear and radiological field. The National Commission for Nuclear Activities Control (CNCAN), the nuclear regulatory authority of Romania, will be the main beneficiary, together with other entities with relevant responsibilities in this field.
The project “Enhancing Nuclear Safety and Security in Romania – Improving Disaster Resilience and Preparedness for Response to Nuclear and Radiological Events”, financed through the Norwegian Financial Mechanism 2014-2021 under the programme “RO Home Affairs, PA 23 – Disaster Prevention and Preparedness”, is a continuation of the previous CNCAN project - “Regional Excellence Project on Regulatory Capacity Building in Nuclear and Radiological Safety, Emergency Preparedness and Response in Romania”, financed through the Norwegian Financial Mechanism 2009-2014.
The project fiche was drawn up by CNCAN with the support of the national partners: the General Inspectorate of the Romanian Gendarmerie (IGJR), the General Inspectorate of the Romanian Border Police (IGPF), the General Inspectorate of the Romanian Police (IGPR), the General Inspectorate of Aviation (IGAv), and together with the donor project partner, the Norwegian Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority (DSA), and the International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna (IAEA).
The total budget of the project is EUR 4.937.647 .
The effective implementation period of the project is 63 months, running from January 2019 to April 2024.
