Projects

Project title: Support for the creation of an integrated automatic radiation monitoring system covering the whole territory of Ukraine U4.01.19A/19B

Funding: European Union

Objective: Creation of an integrated automatic radiation monitoring system of the environment which will ensure data exchange in real time, and significantly improve existing monitoring systems in the country. Furthermore, such system would enhance Ukraine’s ability to respond to emergencies, while contributing to improved early warning of radiation hazards for neighbouring countries.  

Expected Outcome: procurement of works and services for the creation of an integrated automated radiation monitoring system covering the whole territory of Ukraine.

Project title: Support to the improvement of radioactive waste management and environmental radiation monitoring within the Chornobyl exclusion zone (U4.01.20/A and U4.01.20/B)

Funding: European Union

Objective:

Improvement of the RW management and radiation monitoring of environment in the Chornobyl exclusion zone through:

• Improvement of the radioactive waste management system and, as a result, enhancement of the ChEZ radiation safety level by developing a methodology for sampling radioactive materials for further characterisation, sorting, packaging and interim storage of radioactive waste currently stored in the Pidlisnyi RWDS;
• Improvement of radiation monitoring of the ChEZ environment and development of a relevant strategy and planning for the protection of aquatic resources in the ChEZ by upgrading the well network for proper analysis and modelling of contamination and migration of radionuclides in surface and groundwater.  

Expected Outcome: 

• Analysis and modeling of migration of radionuclides from different nuclear and radiological facilities in the Chornobyl exclusion zone (ChEZ) in surface and groundwater.
• Providing recommendations on the deployment of additional water monitoring wells to the existing observation points, which will contribute to the improvement of the overall environmental radiation monitoring programme in the ChEZ.
• Provision of recommendations on the inclusion of additional monitoring points for surface waters that may be contaminated by radionuclides migrating through groundwater.
• Development of a fully integrated well design for groundwater monitoring in the ChEZ that is based on the existing system and improves it where necessary.
• Implementation of an integrated groundwater monitoring system that meets the approved design and can be established within the existing budgetary constraints

Project title: Р792 Radiation monitoring system designed to control vehicles and cargo in the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone

Funding: Government of the Kingdom of Norway

Objective: Organization, procurement and delivery of priority equipment, works and services in accordance with the technical specifications developed under the EU-funded Project U4.01/18B Phase 1 “Modernization of the dosimetric control system in the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone and environmental (radiation) monitoring at the Vektor Complex and Buryakivka Waste Disposal Site - U4.01/18B”.

Expected Outcome: Provision of priority equipment, works and services for the technical re-equipment of the ChNPP individual dosimetry system using dosimeters for finger and eye monitoring based on optically stimulated luminescence technology

Project title: Equipment for modernization of dosimetric control system in the Chornobyl exclusion zone and environmental (radiation) monitoring at Vektor facility and Buriakivka waste disposal site - U4.01/18B Phase 2

Funding: European Union

Objective: organization, procurement and provision of the necessary infrastructure and equipment in accordance with the designs and technical specifications developed under the EU-funded Project U4.01/18B Phase 1 “Modernization of the dosimetric control system in the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone and environmental (radiation) monitoring at the Vektor Complex and Buryakivka Waste Disposal Site - U4.01/18B”.

Expected Outcome: 

• Creation of a modernized environmental monitoring system at the Buryakivka waste disposal site.
• Creation of an upgraded dosimetric control system at the SSE ChNPP and in the ChEZ as a whole.
