SUMMARY The objective of this project is to strengthen the capabilities of the Belarus nuclear
safety regulator (GosAtomNadzor, also called GAN) in licensing, regulatory supervision and
assessment of the Nuclear power plant under construction, commissioning and trial operation
concerning complex and specialised regulatory activities related to nuclear safety.

1.1
CONTEXT
Sector/Country/Regional context/Thematic area
Belarus decided on the construction and operation of a nuclear power plant with two units by
Resolution of the Security Council of the Republic of Belarus № 1 of 31 January 2008 "On
development of nuclear power engineering in Belarus". The Resolution defines the total
electrical capacity of the NPP to 2400 MW and the dates of commissioning will be for unit 1
2018 and unit 2 2020. In the meantime further implementation decisions have been taken.
According to the results of completed site survey study and research, the Ostrovets site,
located in Grodno region about 25 km from the Republic of Lithuania and more than 50 km
from Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania, has been defined as the most suitable location for the
first Belarusian NPP.
The NPP design selection process is also completed. An NPP design from Atomenergoatom
of St. Petersburg supplied by Russian Atomstroyexport was selected for two light water
reactors of the third generation of Russian VVER type (AES-2006) with a capacity of 1200
megawatt. The Russian company NIAEP – ASE (Atomstroyexport) is main constructor of the
NPP. In Belarus, the Design Scientific-Research Republican Unitary Enterprise
"Belnipienergoprom" is responsible for the coordination of the design and the documentation
[2]
for the construction of the NPP. The design of "AES-2006" was analysed by the utility for
NPP construction in Belarus as well as by the Belarussian regulator GosAtomNadzor and by
experts organisations.

According to the schedule the most intensive regulatory activities are planned between 2017
and 2022, most of which will have to be performed simultaneously for Unit 1 and Unit 2. The
priority in this regard are accomplishing independent safety review of the FSAR and other
relevant safety documentation and issuing of the operation license (expected deadlines –
December 2017 for Unit 1 and 2019 for Unit 2), regulatory permissions for commissioning
test, start-up operation, and trial operation. After all mentioned above activities the operator
will provide Gosatomnadzor an updated version of FSAR. At all these stages
MES/Gosatomnadzor needs a strong support, which will enable to ensure promptness of all
the relevant documents review.
The EU under the Instrument for Nuclear Safety Cooperation (INSC) aims to support highest
nuclear safety at all stages of the NPP lifecycle via strengthening appropriate Nuclear
Regulatory Bodies and their technical support organisations. The safe utilisation of nuclear
energy requires nuclear safety infrastructure defined at governmental level. An appropriately
organized, independent and sound Nuclear Regulatory Authority with a well-defined role,
[3]
responsibilities, functions and resources is one of the key-element of such a nuclear safety
infrastructure.
One important component of the INSC is the promotion of an effective nuclear safety culture
and implementation of the highest nuclear safety and radiation protection standards, and
continuous improvement of nuclear safety, with specific objectives addressed in this action:
support for regulatory bodies, technical support organisations; reinforcement of the regulatory
framework, in particular with regard to review and assessment, licensing and oversight
activities for nuclear power plants and other nuclear installations; promotion of effective
regulatory frameworks, procedures and systems to ensure adequate protection against ionising
radiations from radioactive materials, in particular from high activity radioactive sources, and
their safe disposal; establishment of effective arrangements for the prevention of accidents
with radiological consequences, as well as the mitigation of such consequences should they
occur, for example, monitoring the environment in respect to radioactive releases, design and
implementation of mitigation and remediation activities and cooperation with national and
international organisations in the case of accidental exposure, and for emergency-planning,
preparedness and response, civil protection and rehabilitation measures
In Belarus, the Nuclear Regulatory Authority is the Ministry for Emergency Situations
(MES). MES created in its structure the Department for Nuclear and Radiation Safety
(Gosatomnadzor) as a separate legal entity. MES/Gosatomnadzor is responsible for all
regulatory activities in the area of nuclear safety and radiation protection.
MES/Gosatomnadzor carries out most of the regulatory functions in this field as the Nuclear
Regulatory Authority. MES/Gosatomnadzor is responsible for the licensing, permissions and
conducts the supervision of all types of nuclear facilities and radiation sources including their
treatment, transport, storage and disposal.
Since 2013, four licences have been issued by MES/Gosatomnadzor. They are as follows:
- 13 September 2013 – for erection of foundations of the buildings and structures of
Unit 1 of Belarusian NPP;
- 14 February 2014 – for erection of the buildings and structures of the Belarusian NPP
Unit 1 and Unit 2;
- 22 April 2014 – for construction of the Belarusian NPP Unit 1;
- 30 December 2014 – for construction of the Belarusian NPP Unit 2.
At present the process of commissioning is under preparation. The permanent supervision
mode at the NPP site has been started to assure all the necessary activities in performing
construction and preparation of commissioning.
The on-going and future support and assistance to MES/Gosatomnadzor is of importance due
to the European Union's strong interest in closely cooperating with partners in nuclear safety
issues, especially with EU neighbouring countries.

LESSONS LEARNT, COMPLEMENTARITY AND CROSS-CUTTING ISSUES
Lessons learnt
The EU and Belarus have cooperated for many years in the area of nuclear safety and
radiation protection, including those issues related to the consequences of the Chernobyl
accident. Gosatomnadzor' experts have good experience in these technical areas.
However, there is an important need to gain knowledge on regulating a large nuclear power
plant construction project and regulating commissioning and operating of the nuclear power
plant. This work will build on the results and experience of the previous projects in this field.
3.2
Complementarity, synergy and donor coordination
This action is linked to previous INSC projects with a similar scope: BY3.01/08, BY3.01/09
and BY3.01/13.
This action is self-standing and is not directly linked to any potential actions of other donors
or the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The project does not foresee the
participation of other international donors and does not knowingly overlap with any other
existing bi-lateral or multi-donor initiatives. The European Union will remain the only fund
provider apart from the partner country. Activities related to updating the Strategic, Action
and Cooperation Plans by the Nuclear Regulatory Authority (NRA) as foreseen in this project,
will not lead to duplication of efforts. In any case, the EU will continue to coordinate its multi
and bilateral cooperation activities with the IAEA, RCF, WENRA and WWER forum to
ensure that the highest possible nuclear safety standards are adhered to. Belarus cooperates
intensively with the vendor country, Russia, including close cooperation between
Gosatomnadzor and Rostechnadzor. Where possible, synergy of the activities in this project
and the bilateral cooperation with Russia will be sought.
[5]
3.3
Cross-cutting issues
The project contributes to the improvement of the governance in the policy area of nuclear
safety. It will enhance the capacity and regulatory capabilities of the National Regulatory
Authorities and their system of Technical Support Organizations.
In general the project approach naturally addresses cross-cutting development issues as it part
of human and environmental protection programmes

4.1
DESCRIPTION OF THE ACTION
Objectives/results
The main objective of this project is the strengthening of managerial and technical capabilities
of Belarusian Nuclear Regulatory Body/Regulatory Authority (MES/Gosatomnadzor) and its
system of Technical Support Organisations in Belarus.
The Action is expected to concentrate on commissioning and construction, based on the
official planning by Belarus. However, if there would be unexpected delays and/or
complications during construction, the activities under AAP2016 will be related to the
regulation of those activities which are of actual concern for nuclear safety, in continuation of
the activities carried out under a previous project.
The Council Directive 2014/87/Euratom of 8 July 2014 amending Directive 2009/71/Euratom
and the Vienna Declaration on the Convention of Nuclear safety of 9 February 2015 will be
used as a reference.
4.2
Main activities
The activity consists of 4 related components.
Component A - Support to the regulatory body in the field of nuclear and radiation safety
Task A.1:
Development of an integrated management system of the regulatory body,
including revision and updating of strategic documents (strategy of Gosatomnadzor
development, regulatory strategy)
The regulatory activities related to construction, commissioning and regulating an operating
NPP require different specific regulatory activities.
Support will also be given to review and update the MES/Gosatomnadzor's Strategy, Action
and Cooperation Plans with the aim to establish a fully independent and well-functioning
Nuclear Regulatory Body. The initial documents were drafted within project BY3.01/08, and
are updated in project BY3.01/09.
Ackowledging on the actual needs, a continuation of a permanent or semi-permanent on site
presence of experts having experience in EU and Belarusian nuclear safety regulation
experience will support the implementation of the relevant regulatory activities. The on-site
support will be provided by experts of European regulatory bodies and its TSO’s.
Task A.2:
Assistance in the development of regulatory framework (legislation and
regulations)
A well organized and thorough licensing procedure as well as a detailed supervision
procedure has to be based on a clearly structured and comprehensive set of rules and
regulations, based on international standards including EU Legislation. Within this task,
[6]
necessary requirements for an operator management system and its inspection and
enforcement will also be addressed.
The objective of this task under this new project is to provide assistance to
MES/Gosatomnadzor by EU experts in
-
development of a comprehensive system on nuclear safety and radiation protection
regulations, norms and standards that covers all lifecycle of the NPP;
-
defining and updating the priority and elaboration of work plans for the development
and revision of the regulations;
-
drafting rules and regulations on nuclear safety and radiation protection related to the
commissioning and operation of the Belarusian NPP.
Task A.3: Methodological support in licensing, authorization and supervision
(inspection)
Subtask A.3.1: Support to the regulator in licensing and authorization processes
EU experts will support and cooperate with MES/Gosatomnadzor to improve its technical and
other capabilities in order to conduct the necessary steps within the licensing and
authorisation processes for the commissioning and operation of the Belarusian NPP. This
support will be focussed on regulatory activities in relation to
-
licensing of activity on operation of Units 1 and 2; issuing of permissions during the
Belarusian NPP commissioning and operation.
Experts will cooperate with the nuclear regulator to assist to determine hold points in the
commissioning phase. Belarusian specialists will acquire a more profound experience and
knowledge in licensing during commissioning and operation of nuclear installations.
Subtask A.3.2 Support to the regulator in assessing, and reviewing safety documents
related to the construction, commissioning and operation of the Belarusian NPP
The objective of this task is to enhance the capabilities of MES/ Gosatomnadzor and its TSO
in order to organize the review and assessment activities including the development of the
conclusions on the findings and results of the safety review and their formalisation in to
regulatory requirements and license and authorisation conditions. Practical demonstration of
applied methodologies and considered national and international common procedures shall be
carried out based on the actual situation and status as well as workshops in the EU, preferably
with actual and recent construction experience.
Subtask A.3.3 Support to the regulator in supervision over ensuring nuclear safety and
radiation protection
Subtask A3.3.1 Support to the regulator in supervision over ensuring nuclear safety
Supervision of the fulfilment of technical requirements to safety related systems structures
and components (SSCs) during design, manufacture, installation, commissioning and
operation of the SSCs is one of the main regulatory tasks. In this context GAN will be faced
with a huge amount of work to supervise and authorise the commissioning of SSC, start-up
tests, trail operation experiments, installation work, verifications, registration, technical
examination, etc. Therefore an appropriate knowledge horizon and level of experience of the
involved staff of the Nuclear Regulatory Authority and their TSO is essential.
[7]
The objective of this task is the improvement of MES/Gosatomnadzor capacity in the areas of
supervision and inspections to be conducted during the unit commissioning, start-up and
operation according to international good practice and applied rules and guidelines for
inspection and verification of safety relevant systems structures and components.
The task will also include practical training for Gosatomnadzor staff on supervision of safety
important systems and equipment.
Subtask A3.3.2 Support to the regulator in supervision over ensuring radiation
protection
This task is aimed to cooperate with Gosatomnadzor in enhancing the supervision activities
with regard to radiation protection of personnel and population during commissioning and
operation of the Belarusian NPP.
Task A.4: Support in the development of communication and public information
activities
Information work and communication are considered as one of the directions of
Gosatomnadzor activity, aimed at performing major tasks, connected with regulating of
nuclear and radiation safety, as far as they are an integral part of the processes of supervision,
licensing, elaboration of normative legal acts, etc., being implemented in cooperation with
other state bodies, organizations and the public.
MES and specifically Gosatomnadzor will be supported to improve its communication and
public information policy, including transborder communication.
Task A.5: Participation of the MES/Gosatomnadzor in International Conferences
Growth of MES/Gosatomnadzor responsibilities requires deep knowledge in international
activity in the nuclear regulatory field. Participation of MES/Gosatomnadzor experts in
international conferences is of high importance for the nuclear regulatory activity. MES/
Gosatomnadzor will receive limited support for the participation in international meetings and
conferences.
Support will not cover meetings where presence is a legal obligation.
Component B – Support in development of technical expertise capabilities of the regulatory
body and its technical support system
Task B.1: Support in the development of an effective and independent system of
technical support of MES/Gosatomnadzor
Belarus took a decision which determined that the state scientific institution "Joint Institute
for Power and Nuclear Research – SOSNY" of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus
(NAS) will carry out Technical Support to the Gosatomnadzor.
In addition, Gosatomnadzor decided to establish a technical support network that consists of
different scientific, educational and engineering organisations as well as independent experts
at the national level. The development of this network will require a considerable effort on
capacity building and knowledge transfer from EU TSO experts to the members of the
network.
Within the BY3.01/13 Gosatomnadzor with assistance of EU experts has developed a strategy
on TSO network development and specified the short-, medium- and long-terms actions on
this matter. The activities in this task will be based mainly on that strategy.
[8]
Task B.2: Support in review and assessment of safety documentation, including the final
safety assessment report (FSAR)
EU experts will continue to transfer the methodology and best practices for independent SAR
review and detailed safety assessment to the TSOs in order to improve their competence and
capacity to perform the independent safety evaluations.
This activity and strengthening of the use of the SAR and related documents as a basis of
other regulatory processes will be continued in relation to (pre-) commissioning and
operation.
Task B.3: Support in improvement of technical expertise capabilities for deterministic
safety analysis
The aim of the component is strengthening of the corresponding knowledge of
Gosatomnadzor staff and its organizations of technical support in holding safety analysis at
the basis of computer codes.
Training of the Belarusian specialists to work with the computer codes will be continued for
support of an independent check of the models, used by the licensees, e.g. in the following
areas: neutron and physical calculations, thermo hydraulic calculations, analysis of severe
accidents and physical processes within the containment, analysis of the nuclear fuel
behavior.
Training of the Belarusian specialists will be held for each selected computer code. As a result
of the training, Belarusian specialists will get a more profound experience and knowledge in
computer codes application for the nuclear safety assessment of the Belarusian NPP under
construction.
Task B.4: Support in improvement of technical expertise capabilities for probabilistic
safety analysis and development of risk-informed regulatory approach
Within the INSC projects BY3.01/09 and BY3.01/13, EU expertise was provided to
MES/Gosatomnadzor and its TSOs in establishing the basis for the reviewing PSA level 1 and
2, taking into account international rules and the wide range of experience in PSA of EU
Nuclear Regulatory Authorities and Technical Safety Organisations.
Further, under BY3.01/13, the comprehensive strategy for the development and application of
a risk-informed approach for regulatory decision-making process is being developed by
Gosatomnadzor with the support of EU experts.
The assistance and cooperation on achieving the above mentioned strategy objectives will b
eprovided under this task.
3.2.3. Component C – Support in development of emergency preparedness and response
capabilities
Based on existing structures in Belarus and the results of project BY3.01/13, the national
emergency preparedness in case of nuclear and radiation incidents will be improved for the
Ministry for Emergency Situations, including Gosatomnadzor.
3.2.4. Component D – Support in the development of radioactive waste and spent fuel
management activities
The Resolution of the Council of Ministers of the Republic of Belarus N°460 of 02.06.2015
approved the Strategy of Radioactive Waste Management of the Belarusian NPP. A strategy,
determining the procedure of management of institutional radioactive waste coming from
[9]
industry, medicine, scientific activities and other spheres is necessary to improve the
legislative system of radioactive waste management of the Republic of Belarus. The
legislative framework and regulatory documents will be reviewed and updated in compliance
with international requirements, taking into account EU legislation and best European
practices and based on understanding of the technical challenges and possibilities.
4.3
Intervention logic
Increasing the capacity for safety assessment at this stage in the construction process is of
benefit for Belarus, but also for EU states, in the first place those which border Belarus.
