Press release

From 28.02 to 01.03.2017, the closing conference of the 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, is taking place at the Intercontinental Hotel, Bucharest.

The project partners were the National Commission for Nuclear Activities Control (CNCAN), the Norwegian Radiation Protection Authority (NRPA) and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

The objective of this project was to improve the capabilities of Romania's nuclear regulatory authority, CNCAN, in eight specific functional areas of work, namely: nuclear safety analyses; the integrated management system and knowledge management; inspections; the safety and security of the transport and transit of radioactive and nuclear materials on the territory of Romania; emergency preparedness and response; ionizing radiation sources; the regulation of radioactive waste management, spent nuclear fuel management and decommissioning activities; and nuclear safeguards activities.

The conference presents the main results achieved under the project, and there will be exchanges of experience and discussions on the challenges and lessons learned during the implementation of this project.
