PROSPECTUS
Project Number
& Title:
RER/2/011 – Enhancing Energy Planning, Nuclear Power Infrastructures and
Nuclear Safety Oversight for Countries Considering, Developing or Expanding
Nuclear Power Programmes
Place (City,
Country):
Prague, Czech Republic
Dates:
31 August - 2 September 2015
Deadline for
Nominations:
1 June 2015
Organizers:
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in cooperation with the
Government of Czech Republic through the State Office for Nuclear Safety
(SÚJB).
Host Country
Organizer:
Ms Silvia Habadova
Czech Republic State Office for Nuclear Safety (SÚJB)

110 00 PRAGUE 1,
CZECH REPUBLIC
E-mail: [email protected]
Language:
The training will be conducted in English
Purpose:
For the representatives of the nuclear regulatory bodies and/or Nuclear Energy
Programme Implementing Organizations (NEPIOs) of countries embarking on
nuclear power to get familiar with the Czech Regulatory Body (SÚJB) system
regarding conduct of regulatory functions concerning the licensing and
regulatory oversight of Nuclear Power Plants, mainly:
Expected
Output(s):
-
Regulatory framework at the host country (nuclear legislations, nuclear
safety regulations, etc.; details of licensing/authorization process for NPPs;
how the host country regulatory body conduct its main regulatory functions
(namely, drafting regulations, authorization, regulatory review and
assessment, regulatory inspection and enforcement and communication
with the public and other stakeholders; etc.)
-
Safety infrastructure at the operating organization side; tasks, efforts/works
strengthening the safety infrastructure; etc. (visit to a Nuclear Power Plant
site)
The participants are informed about the regulatory framework of Czech
Republic which could be a good example for their own countries. The
information received during the visit will contribute to establishment or
enhancement of the regulatory infrastructure of the participants` countries.
Scope and
Nature:
During the SV, information will be provided by SÚJB on:
-
Legal and regulatory framework in Czech Republic for the safety of Nuclear
Power Plants
Regulations and guides for the licensing and regulatory oversight of a Nuclear
Power Plant
Roles and functions of the regulatory body
Authorization and licensing steps for Nuclear Power Plants
Regulatory review and assessment, use of external support
Regulatory inspection and enforcement
Communication of the regulatory body with the public and other stakeholders
Role of the regulatory body during nuclear and radiological accidents, incl.
visit to emergency centre.
Also, Temelin NPP site will be visited in order to observe the safety infrastructure
at the Operating Organization.
Background
Information:
The State Office for Nuclear Safety (SÚJB) is a regulatory body responsible
for governmental administration and supervision in the fields of uses of nuclear
energy and radiation and of radiation protection in Czech Republic. Its mission
is “to protect the public, workers and the environment by conducting nuclear
regulatory programmes in safety, security, radiation protection and safeguards,
which fulfil key objectives in licensing and inspection in accordance with best
international practices, capacity-building to ensure sustainability, overseeing
the Czech Republic obligations under the international treaties, conventions
and agreements in the nuclear sector, and administrative standards ,which
support excellence in regulation”.
The main operator of nuclear-energetic reactors in Czech Republic is ČEZ, a.s.,
who operates nuclear power plants in Dukovany and Temelín sites. Both
Dukovany and Temelín NPP are constructed according to Russian projects as
VVER type. Dukovany NPP operates 4 VVER 440 units providing 2040 MW
electrical power. First unit was put in operation in 1985. Temelín NPP is
equipped by 2 VVER 1000 units providing 2110 MW electrical power. Both
units started commercial operation by the end of 2004.
Within Dukovany NPP site, there are two more nuclear facilities operated by
ČEZ, a. s.: Interim spent fuel storage facility (ISFSF) and Spent fuel storage
facility (SFSF). All spent fuel produced in both NPPs is stored in specially
constructed and approved casks (CASTOR type). Temelín NPP area includes
Fresh fuel storage part and also a Spent Fuel Storage Facility (SFSF).
Participation and This Group Scientific Visit is designed for participants/representatives from the
countries at different stages of embarking on nuclear power. The target
target countries:
countries are: Albania, Armenia, Belarus, Croatia, Kazakhstan, Lithuania,
Poland, The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Turkey and Ukraine.
Participants’
Qualifications:
The nominees should be senior managers from the nuclear regulatory bodies
and/or from the Nuclear Energy Programme Implementing Organization
(NEPIOs).
Nomination
Procedure:
Nominations for Scientific Visit should be submitted to the IAEA online

(http://intouch.iaea.org). Should this not be possible, nominations may be
submitted on the standard IAEA Nomination Form for Scientific Visit
(available on the IAEA website: http://www.iaea.org/). Completed forms

Selected participants from countries eligible to receive technical assistance will
be provided with a round trip economy class air ticket from their home countries
to Prague, Czech Republic, and a stipend sufficient to cover the cost of their
accommodation, food, and minor incidentals. Shipment of accumulated meeting
materials to the participants' home countries is not the responsibility of the
