5. Department of Nuclear and Radiation Safety Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Republic of Belarus(GOSATOMNADZOR) Department of Nuclear and Radiation Safety Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Republic of Belarus(GOSATOMNADZOR) International conventions and agreements of the Republic of Belarus Acts of the President of the Republic of Belarus Laws of the Republic of Belarus Acts of the Government of the Republic of Belarus Decisions of republic state authorities (decrees and orders) Technical documents of regulation (reglaments, codes and standards) Norms and rules for nuclear and radiation safety GOSATOMNADZOR’s regulation

6. Regulatory and legal base is formed in the Republic of Belarus for licensing of activities on implementation of a nuclear power project on construction of the first NPP. The legal basis for use of nuclear energy is the Law of the Republic of Belarus “On Use of Atomic Energy” (30 July 2008) that regulates all relations associated with siting, design, construction, commissioning, decommissioning of a nuclear facility and (or) storage facility, as well as relations associated with nuclear materials and (or) operational radioactive wastes, and other relations in the field of nuclear energy use.

7. The Decree of the President of the Republic of Belarus № 450 “On Licensing of Certain Activities” was signed on September 1, 2010. It defines a new independent kind of activities – activities in the sphere of nuclear power and radiation sources management; activities on expert examination of safety in the sphere of nuclear power and radiation sources management. The Decree entered into force on January 1, 2011. It was amended in 21.06.2012 (decree № 284).

9. Resolution of the Council of Ministers of the Republic of Belarus №133 “Regulation on the organization and implementation of control (supervision) of safety during construction and commissioning of the Belarusian Nuclear Power Plant” was signed on February 25, 2015. The Regulation defines the order of organization and implementation of safety supervision during the construction and commissioning of the Belarusian NPP by regulatory (supervisory) authorities.

10. Implementation of laws and regulations, licensing requirements and conditions is achieved within the established system of state supervision of safety. System of state supervision provides regular inspections of licensed activities with verification of compliance of regulations and licensing requirements and conditions. State supervision of nuclear and radiation safety is carried out by the Gosatomnadzor through Joint inspections and inspections in the constant supervision mode at the stage of engineering, siting, construction, manufacture, commissioning, operation and decommissioning of nuclear facilities. The main method of state supervision is inspection of the compliance of the activities carried out by the audited entity as well as actions (inaction) of its officers and other employees to the requirements of the legislation. The methods of inspection are determined by the Council of Ministers.

11. Types of inspections: ● Joint inspections ● inspection in the constant supervision mode Joint inspection: - notification; - program of Joint inspection; - аct of Joint inspection; - orders to eliminate violations. Inspection in the constant supervision mode: - inspection plan; - аct of inspection; - orders to eliminate violations.

12. QAPNPP (O) activities applies to systems which are important to NPP safety, as well as elements of these systems in order to achieve such NPP quality level that would guarantee its safety, reliability, ensuring efficient operation, compliance with environmental requirements for the protection of the environment. Department of Nuclear and Radiation Safety Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Republic of Belarus(GOSATOMNADZOR) Department of Nuclear and Radiation Safety Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Republic of Belarus(GOSATOMNADZOR)

13.  QAPNPP (O) for “Belarusian NPP” contains the basic criteria and principles which should be taken into account when ensuring the quality and safety of NPP at all stages of its life cycle. QAPNPP (O) refers to all activities effecting the quality of work and services that are important for the NPP safety.  The activities are: design, manufacture and supply of equipment, construction, putting into operation, operation, putting out of operation, upgrading.

14. Managing the significant staff growth in very short time and corresponding changes of the structure is still a challenge. It would be beneficial for Gosatomnadzor to learn and exchange experience and approaches to establish an effective IMS. Nuclear Knowledge Management process is very important part of Gosatomnadzor IMS which is in the state of development at the moment. Systematic Approach to Training is included in Gosatomnadzor IMS draft. For solution of IMS challenge IAEA provides support to Gosatomnadzor: first IAEA seminar was conducted in March of 2015, the second was on 30 November – 4 December of 2015.
