Tests on the Project “Creation of a facility for release of materials from regulatory control …” have commenced at Chornobyl NPP. Overall purpose of this Project is to improve a level of safety and economic efficiency in managing all types of radioactive materials in Ukraine, and to implement all possible actions for reduction of waste amount and implementation of long-term tasks on the safe final disposal.
The Project is funded by the European Union within the Instrument for Nuclear Safety Cooperation Program 2011, Part II. The Project works are performed by the Contractor – VF a.s. from the Czech Republic.
Use of the facility for release of materials from regulatory control is the final stage of radioactive materials (RM) management process. Materials, which are meant for the release from regulatory control, will be delivered to the facility only following decontamination and other activities envisaged by the process. Using spectrometric measurements, this facility will enable to justify the possibility of RM release from regulatory control and their return to national economy.
