11 On-going and approved waste and decommissioning projects: 11

12 Ongoing and approved regulatory cooperation projects: 12

13 Aspects of INSC projects Promote regulatory effectiveness, institution building and sustainability. Coordinate efforts of 27 EU member states. Relatively long lead time Large projects (500k -10M ) 13

21 Training and Tutoring Trainees 2012 from: Armenia, Belarus, Brazil, Egypt, Jordan, Malaysia, Mexico, Morocco, South Africa, Ukraine, Vietnam Excellent training at different locations in the EU, e.g. Training on safety of waste management and decommissioning Rome, Regional training E.g. Radiological training, Hammamet Tunesia April 21

22 INSC Impact Fukushima Dai-Ichi Large scale European Stress Test activity INSC support: Stress test implementation: Armenia Stress test follow-up: Ukraine Stress test methodolgy transfer: Mexico Regional emergency preparedness: South East Asia Continued emphasis on decommissioning of less safe installations. 22

23 Coordination with IAEA INSC regulation 70/2011/EURATOM, encourages IAEA safety standards (e.g. ToRs) Use of IAEA guides/ Tecdocs (e.g. Sarcon) RCF hosting, activities, coordination (Jan meeting in Brussels) Support joining of international conventions (e.g. Joint Convention task for Armenia) Direct support for specific activities (EU-IAEA- Ukraine joint project, Iraq decommissioning) 23

24 INSC Results Measures to improve nuclear safety worldwide Strengthening of regulatory nuclear, radiation and waste safety network Increased network in EU Increased nuclear safety network between INSC partners Increased network EU-INSC partners Increased cooperation between EU and IAEA 24

25 INSC Success Story Success story Ukraine Assistance in the 1990 s Cooperation in the 2000 s In 2012 and Ukrainian TSO SSTC successfully takes part in consortia to win training and tutoring contract 25

26 Lessons Learnt Quality comes from both partners Success depends on the commitment of all parties involved partners, Consultant and EC Sustainability is a continuous challenge Radioactive waste, remediation and decommissioning are becoming of high importance 26

27 Instrument for Nuclear Safety Cooperation Proposal, to be approved in Focus: Regulatory cooperation Strengthening local networks Capacity Building Waste and decommissioning Remediation Safeguards 27

28 Conclusion EU INSC delivers extensive technical and financial contribution to regulatory assistance and overall nuclear safety, together with and in support of the IAEA. EC implements INSC in the regulatory area, based on 3 pillar model. Future EU cooperation in the regulatory area will continue to focus on capacity building, safeguards, nuclear safety, waste, remediation and decommissioning. Focus on transfer of EU best practice taking into account the IAEA safety standards. Unique added value from tailored support by EU experts who are doing the same job in their country 28
