From 12th to 16th July 2021, Chornobyl NPP is hosting a member support mission delivered by the World Association of Nuclear Operators (WANO) — “Experience in providing the individual dosimetry monitoring of the personnel internal radiation exposure”.

Within a week, representatives of the WANO’s Atlanta, Tokyo and Moscow Centres, and experts and scientists from Germany and Czech Republic will be sharing their experience on the topic.

Participants of the mission include Chornobyl NPP professionals, and representatives of the State Nuclear Regulatory Inspectorate of Ukraine, State Enterprise “NNEGC Energoatom”, State Scientific Research Institute “Chornobyl Center for Nuclear Safety, Radioactive Waste and Radioecology”, and State Specialized Enterprise “Ecocentre”.

“Chornobyl NPP has always identified the safety of staff, public and the environment as our major priority, and we have been working for many years in close cooperation with colleagues from other enterprises on enhancing the efficiency of monitoring the internal exposure. This is an extremely important and complex issue in the field of radiation safety.

Our enterprise aims to be the leader in this direction, which is why we have requested expert assistance and support from WANO. I am happy that we will be able to work on this issue together over this week”, — said Valeriy SEYDA, ChNPP’s Acting Director General, in his welcome speech during the mission opening ceremony.

According to the mission schedule, WANO experts and ChNPP representatives will spend 4 days having discussion sessions and interviews on site of the Chornobyl NPP and in the city of Slavutych, and will also visit the New Safe Confinement and other facilities.
