1 Instrument for Nuclear Safety Cooperation INSC Eddie Maier, European Commission EuropeAid Days Brussels, 7 March 2013

2 Why are we doing this? (1) To promote a high level of nuclear safety, radiation protection, application of efficient and effective safeguards of nuclear materials in third countries; support nuclear safety authorities to assure effective frameworks, procedures and systems for an adequate protection against radiations; improve operation and maintenance of nuclear installations, assure safe transport, treatment of spent nuclear fuel and radioactive waste; 2

3 Why are we doing this? (2) Establish effective arrangements to prevent accidents and mitigate the consequences when they occur; Establish arrangements for emergency planning, preparedness and response, civil protection and rehabilitation measures; Promote international cooperation and monitoring of International Conventions and Treaties 3

4 What is the Delivery Mechanism? INSTRUMENT FOR NUCLEAR SAFETY COOPERATION EURATOM Treaty as Legal Base EU implementation tool to promote several International Conventions in the field of nuclear safety INSC is a logic part of the external action instruments 4

5 Where are we coming from? FROM TACIS TO INSC II Learning from major accidents: Three Mile Island Chernobyl Fukushima.Daiichi But also minor incidents : Hundreds of industrial and hospital irradiation accidents Help to remediate consequences of nuclear activities: Uranium mining legacy and other nuclear test site areas 5

6 TACIS: geographical scope EU 15 AT, BE, DE, DK, IE, GR, ES, FI, FR, IT, LU, NL, PT, SE, GB CIS RU, UA, AM, GE, BY, AZ, KZ,TJ, TK, UZ, KG (Tacis Programme) New MS or EU 12 : EE, LT, LV, PL, CZ, SK, SI, HU, BG, RO,CY, MT (Phare Programme) 6

7 TACIS: geographical scope Main focus on support to operators (No of NPPs): Russia (7) Ukraine (4) Armenia (1) Kazakhstan (1) MEDZAMOR NPP - ARMENIA Beloyarsk BN 600 RF Budgets allocated (in million euros): Russia service: 76 Russia supply: 126 Ukraine service: 58 Ukraine supply: 107 Armenia service: 16 Armenia supply: 10 KZ Aktau service: 4 KZ Aktau supply: 4 Zaporozhie NPP Ukraine 7

9 INSC I Major fields of intervention Support to the Nuclear Regulators and their Technical Support Organisations 83 M Support to the Nuclear Operators (NPPs and Design Institutes) 84 M Support for the management of waste, spent fuel, decommissioning of installations 89 M Safeguards and illicit trafficking of materials 2.5 M Off-Site Emergency Preparedness 1 M Chernobyl Funds 176 M Others 55 M M: committed and foreseen (AP 2013) amounts in million Euros 28 million for Russia lost under AP

10 INSC II : geographical scope? Active bilateral Regional LAT AM Regional Africa Gulf Co Council Greenland NDEP Submar. EU EU Enlargement RUSSIA Not considered

11 INSC II Domains and budget forecast under the European Commission proposal Promotion of an effective nuclear safety culture and implementation of the highest nuclear safety standards and radiation protection 186 M Responsible and safe management of spent fuel and radioactive waste, decommissioning and remediation of former nuclear sites and installations 404 M Establishment of frameworks and methodologies for the application of efficient and effective safeguards for nuclear material in third countries 31 M Appropriations: 10 M M: amounts in million Euros 11

12 Some project examples Tacis/INSC I Chernobyl New Shelter To be finished in 2015 In total : 350 million Tacis- INSC Total ChNPP tacis-insc: 400 million 12

13 Some project examples 2007/2012 Ukrainian National Training Centre for Management and Maintenance Personnel 14 million SAFETY FIRST TRAINING One 1:1 NPP (without fuel) for training on full scale model. All NPP maintenance personnel of all 15 reactors in Ukraine All management personnel of Energoatom from top to floor management 13

14 Some project examples 2010/2013 TRAINING & TUTORING of Nuclear Regulator's and their Technical Support Organisations = 9 million Capacity building in Countries willing to start a nuclear energy programme Basic training of RA and TSO staff (classroom training, practical laboratory training, on-site, etc.) Tutoring of experienced staff by senior TSO expert (up to 6 months) 14

15 Some project examples 2010/2013=> ALREADY committed: 9.1 million: studies for all central Asia (including Mongolia) Foreseen under AAP 2013: 15.5 million for first cleaning actions (EBRD fund) Foreseen under the new MFF: More than 100 million 15

16 Work plan 2013 Implementing on-going projects Programming 2013 Preparation New Regulation Preparation concept note, strategy and MIP Phase INSC into Centres of Excellence network 16

17 Expected Role and tasks for Delegations To be more and more the contact point in the partner countries for the INSC without being asked to implement the projects To support in the programming of INSC by using contacts within the partner countries To lead expert missions such as MS consortia, IOs for preparing and implementing projects To enhance visibility in the partner countries 17

18 EU CBRN Centres of Excellence CoE Secretariats and INSC 1: Rabat 2: Algiers 3: Amman 4: Tbilisi 5: Manila 6: Nairobi 7: Abu Dhabi 8: Tashkent Visit the website:

19 CoE Secretariats and INSC Use the CoE network to disseminate INSC information Use the CoE network to coordinate regional needs in the nuclear safety field as done for IfS Use CoE to coordinate regional actions in the INSC field Transfer international best practice information with IOs in the nuclear safety field 19
