Three authorities:
• NUCLEAR AGENCY (AN)
– in charge of promoting peaceful uses of nuclear energy
• NATIONAL COMMISSION FOR NUCLEAR ACTIVITIES CONTROL (CNCAN)
– regulatory body
• NATIONAL AGENCY FOR RADIOACTIVE WASTE (ANDRAD)– Disposal
10
Nuclear authorities: Before December 2009
• 2003: GO No. 11/2003 approved;
• 2004: National strategy for management of SNF and RW approved;
• 2004: ANDRAD established;
– Subordinated to the Ministry of Economy;– coordination;– Financed by waste producer (0.12 Euro / MWh);
• 2006: GO No. 11/2003 modified;– Responsible for disposal;
• 2007: financing mechanism improved (fee 2 Euro / MWh);11
ANDRAD - Short History
Two authorities:
• NUCLEAR AGENCY & RADIOACTIVE WASTE (AN&DR)• Promoter of the nuclear energy development in Romania
(power and non – power applications), exclusively for peaceful purposes;
• Responsible for disposal of radioactive waste and spent nuclear fuel, and ensure at national level the coordination of the nuclear installations decommissioning processes;
• NATIONAL COMMISSION FOR NUCLEAR ACTIVITIES CONTROL
– regulatory body
Reason: Reduce expenses12
Nuclear authorities: After December 2009
New Repository - Current Status (1)
13
Extension of the Partial SitingLicense in February 2010 which allows:
To continue Saligny site characterization completion
To start the process to obtain Environmental agreementTo finalize the documentation for the urban planning zone, process started in 2009, having the approval of the SalignyLocal Council
14
A new Urban Certificate for the new surface indicated by the Feasibility Study
Finalize the documentation on:- Site characterization- Feasibility study- Safety and- Construction license
New Repository - Current Status (2)
• Improvement of the Legal Framework in order to clarify specific issues regarding the Radioactive Waste Management
• Up-dating the Medium and Long Term National Strategy for Safe Management of Radioactive Waste
• Elaboration of the Institutional Development Strategy in order to enhance the capacity to achieve its mission
17
AN&DR (Short Term Plans) (1)
• Licensing the Saligny Repository Site
• Approval of the Road Map for Geological Repository Development
• Strengthening the efforts to increase the Public Acceptance for Radioactive Waste Repositories
18
AN&DR (Short Term Plans) (2)
Lessons learnedLessons learned
19
• Establish the level of knowledge and expertise at the outset;
• Identification of training needs;
• International cooperation – key element;
• Discussion with the regulator should not be overlooked;
• Close cooperation with waste producers – highly recommended;
• The provision of adequate funding is a problem.
