On October 11, the painters have finished the mural painting at Chornobyl NPP. The canvas is of 18 m height and 58 m length, and it is located on the eastern wall of the Turbine Hall facing the ChNPP office premises. Therefore, about two thousand persons of staff and visitors would see the mural every day.

    Beside others, one of the tasks for mural creation was the attitude optimization of the enterprise's personnel. According to some inquiries among personnel of the enterprise, 52% of respondents expressed for additional decorating of industrial site area at ChNPP, 65% of respondents supported the mural location on Turbine Hall's wall, and 59% of them positively assessed this specific work.

    It is worth reminding that on June 3, among 24 candidates, a winning sketch was selected to create a mural at ChNPP. The author was Valerii Korshunov together with his artwork called “Looking into the future”.

    During September 16–20 at Chornobyl NPP and Exclusion Zone, a training course was provided to the specialists for nuclear safety and nuclear event response from the United States of America.

    The training was held under trilateral cooperation between Radiation Safety Shop of Chornobyl NPP, charitable foundation called Clean Futures Fund (well-known for long-term project “Chornobyl Dogs”; USA), and Technical Resources Group Inc. (USA) as well.

    The Technical Resources Group Inc. (thereinafter TRG) renders the services relating to radiation event response, provides training and drills for rapid response services throughout USA and many other countries. Annually, TRG holds about 200 radiological training, trains thousands of emergency response specialists in USA and abroad.

    Almost for 10 years, TRG holds the advanced one-week training course under Radiation Specialist program. Clean Futures Fund and TRG joined together efforts to develop the Advanced Training Program for radiation safety which would help the radiation safety specialists to develop their skills and gain a better understanding of the consequences of radiation or nuclear accident.

    From 16 to 20 September, the Chornobyl NPP became a site to conduct national workshop of IAEA. The workshop subject is characterization of liquid and solid RAW, and immobilized waste packages as well.

    The workshop involved the international experts of IAEA from Hungary and France, representatives of ISP NPPs, SNRIU, and 19 specialists from ChNPP. The main subject matters for discussion addressed the international practices relating to waste characterization, in particular, their legislative regulation, characterization equipment, and techniques for radionuclide activity measurement.

    The information provided during the workshop is important for Chornobyl NPP since the nuclear power plant is currently at the decommissioning stage resulting in generation of large amount of waste.

    On September 10-11, the delegation of the Belgian company TECNUBEL and the Institute for Radioelements (IRE-Elit) worked at Chornobyl NPP. The visit was part of a joint project aimed on creation of a pilot installation for chemical decontamination of small diameter pipes at Chornobyl NPP.

    The experts set two main objectives for this visit. The first is to get acquainted with the measuring capabilities of ChNPP water-radiochemical laboratory. In future all the tests necessary to create the installation and maximize its efficiency (analysis of pipe materials, development of decontaminating solutions, etc.) will be performed in this laboratory.

    The second task was to investigate the Chornobyl decontamination facilities being in operation. In addition to new decontamination facility creation Belgian experts are considering possible upgrading of the existing facilities with use of their own technologies. According to project manager Tarik Bouayad, during previous meetings Chornobyl specialists addressed with such request.

    On September 6, the painters have sketched the future mural on the end wall of Chornobyl NPP Turbine Hall.

    We will remind that on June 3 sketch-winner was chosen from 24 candidates for the mural creation at Chornobyl NPP. The author of the sketch was Valerіі Korshunov with his picture "Looking to the Future".

    The company MuralMarket was chosen as a performer, which is known for its work in Kyiv and other cities of Ukraine (among clients: Market Stolychnyi, Darynok, Platform, Auchan, MasterCard, Oschadbank).
