THREAT RELATED TO RADIOACTIVELY CONTAMINATED SCRAP METAL
ESSENTIAL POINTS: Proper legislations – proper monitoring of scrap
metal; Harmonization with international standards –
linking with legislations of other countries – interoperability;
Interoperability of national and international (IAEA, UNECE etc.) notification and response centers
Proper training and equipment
12-14 June 2006, Geneva, Switzerland
21
THREAT RELATED TO RADIOACTIVELY CONTAMINATED SCRAP METAL
GEORGIA’S NEEDS: Improvement of legal basis; Adoption of guidelines and procedures
harmonized with international ones; Train and equip (partially) relevant personnel; Improve operability of notification and response
infrastructure
12-14 June 2006, Geneva, Switzerland
22
THREAT RELATED TO RADIOACTIVELY CONTAMINATED SCRAP METAL
CONCLUSIONS: Because of International trading – movement through several
countries and between different owners and facilities, Because of different levels of legislation covering the subject in
different countries, Because of different qualities of equipment used and levels of
personnel knowledge and experience,ALL COUNTRIES NEED TO HARMONIZE THEIR LEGISLATIONS AS WELL
AS FACILITIES AND PERSONNEL CAPABILLITIES ACCORDING TO ONE COMMON BASIC DOCUMENT
&Process of harmonization needs permanent monitoring fulfilled by international organizations (UNECE, IAEA etc.)
&Regional Projects covering Black Sea, South Caucasus, Eastern Europe regions more likely to be implemented in
order to achieve such harmonization
