atw Vol. 62 (2017) | Issue 8/9 ı August/September ENERGY POLICY, ECONOMY AND LAW 520 emissions, is not incorporated into the price of electricity; subsidies for renewables go beyond promotion of new technologies; and insufficient emphasis is given to long-term economic efficiency, discouraging investment in generation with large capital cost but overall cost- effectiveness. Regulation of the nuclear industry is effective, but not efficient. Greater harmonization of regulatory frameworks will ensure that the high standards already met in the nuclear industry are maintained but the bureaucratic burden is reduced. A new safety paradigm should acknowledge the true societal impacts of generating electricity. Disproportionate emphasis on nuclear energy results in greater use of more harmful forms of generation. On Legal Requirements for Construction of High Temperature Reactors (HTR) in Poland Tomasz R. Nowacki Addressing these three areas will enable nuclear energy to makes its necessary contribution towards a global generation mix that supplies the needs of the world’s population with affordable, reliable and sustainable electricity. Author Dr Jonathan Cobb Senior Communication Manager World Nuclear Association Tower House, 10 Southampton Street London WC2E 7HA, United Kingdom 1 Introduction In the July 2016 issue of atw an article has been published on the legal obstacles to the construction of HTRs in Poland [1]. The authors have raised a number of objections to the Polish law with the main thesis of the inability, or at least a significant impediment to the construction of such installations without significant legislative intervention. The main purpose of this text is to prove that the construction of HTRs based on the existing Polish laws and regulations is possible. In addition, the author intends to clarify the particular concerns expressed in the article regarding the particular legislation and correct improper statements and interpretations of the Polish nuclear law. Particular attention will be paid to the definition of a nuclear installation, aspects of design and siting, decommissioning fund, safety analysis and safety report. To certain extent the author will indicate possible directions for simplification of HTRs’ licensing. The article deals only with strictly legal issues and does not take a stand on the technical feasibility and reality of ambitious plans for the construction of HTRs in Poland. 2 HTRs in Poland Poland has been preparing for the implementation of nuclear power for several years, in order to diversify its fuel base. Regardless of the plans for the construction of large-scale reactors, it was decided to investigate the possibility of introducing HTR technology potentially serving other purposes than producing electricity. In 2016, the Minister of Energy set up an advisory team to analyze and prepare conditions for the deployment of high temperature nuclear reactors. The main tasks of the team include: analysis of the needs of the Polish economy and export opportunities, recognition of the analytical, design and production capabilities of Polish scientific and industrial institutions, analysis of costs and possibilities of financing development and implementation, analysis of the legal system, diagnosis of opportunities for international cooperation [2]. The implementation of HTR technology has also been rooted in the most important of the current government strategic documents, i.e. in the Strategy for Responsible Development [3]. According to the Ministry of Energy the decision to start evaluating the potential of HTRs was made due to the opportunities offered by this technology, particularly for industrial applications, especially combined heat and power (cogeneration). Reactors in this technology work at very high temperatures, which enable to use them primarily as a source of heat for industrial applications. One potential benefit of this technology on a broader scale would be a significant reduction in the import of natural gas used as a source of heat in the chemical industry [4]. The construction of a HTR would also be an impetus for the development of Polish nuclear science and industry with a positive influence on their readiness to participate in the planned implementation of “classical” nuclear power in Poland. The vision of the new sector should be described as very ambitious. Launch of the first HTR is planned for 2031-2032, further 10 till 20 are planned to be in operation by 2050 [5]. 3 Nuclear law in Poland – an introduction Legal provisions relating directly to the nuclear and radiation safety exist in Poland since the early 1950s and have developed at the beginning of the next decade. At that time, legal acts were not numerous and were of a general nature rather but both their volume and quality were adequate to the scale of the then-developed nuclear program(s). Since 1986 an uniform and comprehensive law regulating the principles of nuclear energy utilization is in place. The 1986 Atomic Law [6] passed during the construction of the Żarnowiec NPP had been supplemented by Soviet regulations, regulatory orders and guidelines and the IAEA (International Energy Policy, Economy and Law On Legal Requirements for Construction of High Temperature Reactors (HTR) in Poland ı Tomasz R.

Kommunikation und Training für Kerntechnik Wissen praxisnah vermittelt Seminar: Enhancing Your Nuclear English Seminarinhalte Im internationalen Dialog ist Englisch die universelle Sprache. Dies gilt für Geschäfts beziehungen im Allgemeinen ebenso wie für die Branche der Kerntechnik im Speziellen. In Deutschland gewinnen der internationale Austausch und damit das Englische zudem durch die auf das Jahr 2022 politisch begrenzte Stromerzeugung aus Kernenergie eine noch größere Bedeutung. ı Introductions and informal conversations ı Workplace communication ı The language of meetings ı Talking about your job ı Presentations ı Intercultural communication Den Teilnehmerinnen und Teilnehmern wird über eine praxisorientierte Didaktik und unter der Verwendung „kerntechnischen Vokabulars“, das notwendige Know-how für den beruflichen Alltag vermittelt. Dabei gilt es sprachlich bedingte Kommunikationsbarrieren mit internationalen Kollegen oder Kunden zu überwinden. Zielgruppe Diese 2-tägige Schulung richtet sich an Führungskräfte, Projektverantwortliche sowie Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter aus allen Fachbereichen, bei denen Englisch für die organisationsinterne und/oder externe Kommunikation von Bedeutung ist. Maximale Teilnehmerzahl: 12 Personen. Voraussetzungen Teilnehmerinnen und Teilnehmer sollten grundsätzliche Englischkenntnisse, in Form der Fähigkeit der allgemeinen Konversation in Wort und Schrift, mitbringen. Hierbei kann es sich um Kenntnisse handeln, die entweder während der Schulzeit bzw. während der Ausbildung/ des Studiums oder aber berufsbegleitend erworben wurden. (CEFR: etwa Niveau B1). Referentin Devika Kataja Konferenzdolmetscherin, Fachübersetzerin und Sprachtrainerin Wir freuen uns auf Ihre Teilnahme! Termin 2 Tage 11. bis 12.
