Part 8.1

sphere of atomic energetics of the Republic of Belarus
38
For regulating the activities in the sphere of atomic energetics a number of normative
documents were adopted in the Republic [17 – 20].
Because of the absence of normative basis and due to the fact that Belarusian
NPP will be constructed according to the Russian project (AES-2006) a working
group has been created that will regulate activities on developing of technical normative
acts (TNA) under the direction of Chairman of State standard of the Republic of
Belarus. The result of the work of this group was Index of the Main valid normative
documents of the Russian Federation regulating secure operation of AS energy
plants with WMWC reactors and document put into action on the territory of the Republic
of Belarus № ОУП-06/01, confirmed by the Prime-Minister Deputy of the Republic
of Belarus Semashko V. I. This decision was adopted on the following reasons:
- impossibility of TNA development in short time because of lack of experience
in projecting and operating of nuclear energy plants;
- contradictions in the normative documents of the RF and RB, e.g. in the RF
the personnel is divided into two categories;
- Belarusian AES will be designed, constructed and operated with the participation
of Russian organizations that is why it is justified to use Russian TNA.
3.3 Brief information about the customer, designer and executers of EIE
According to the Decree of the President of the Republic of Belarus dated from
November, 12, 2007 № 565 “About some measures on construction of atomic electro
station” the following authorities were created in the Republic of Belarus:
1 State body “Directorat of the construction of atomic electro station” (SA
DCAES) to carry out the functions of the customer in performing a complex of preparation
and design works on the construction of atomic electro station (further – NPP).
2 Department of nuclear and radiation security to carry out state supervision of
providing nuclear and radiation security in the Ministry of Emergencies.
Design research republican unitary enterprise “Belnipienergoprom” has appointed
as the general designer to coordinate the development of construction documents
of NPP.
Co-executers of EIE:
Republican unitary enterprise “Central scientific-research institution of
complex use of water resources” (RUE “CSRICUWR”) – institute of Ministry of
Natural Resources of the Republic of Belarus studying the surface waters. Purpose
of the work is to estimate the impact of atomic electro station in the Republic of Belarus
on surface waters. Surface waters are quality and quantity characteristics, transboundary
transition of radioactive contamination.
SA “Republican Centre of radiation control and monitoring” – state authority
within the Ministry of Natural Resources monitoring environmental objects of the
Republic of Belarus (chemical and radioactive contamination). Purpose of work is to
develop monitoring system in the observation zone of the byelorussia NPP, estimate
the current condition of the environmental objects, set the monitoring in the observation
zone for the construction period, determine surface radioactive contamination in
normal operation mode and at radiation accident (including heavy off-project acci-
