Regulatory Administrative Institutions MPA 517 Lecture-22 1

Recap The nuclear regulatory infrastructure has been in place since 1965, when the first research reactor PARR-I was commissioned. The nuclear regulatory regime further improved when the first nuclear power plant was commissioned in 1971 at Karachi. A nuclear safety and licensing division was established in PAEC HQ which functioned as the de facto regulatory body till it was upgraded to " Directorate of Nuclear Safety and Radiation Protection" (DNSRP) after the promulgation of Pakistan Nuclear Safty and Radiation Protection Ordinance 1984 Pakistan signed the International Convention on Nuclear Safety in 1994, as a result of which, it became obligatory on the part of the Government of Pakistan to establish an independent nuclear regulatory body entrusted with the implementation of the legislative and regulatory framework governing nuclear power and radiation use in the country, and further to separate the regulatory functions from the promotional aspects of the nuclear programme. 2

Radiation Safety Directorate Radiation Safety Directorate (RSD) regulates and supervise matters related to radiation protection. Its mission is to ensure that the harmful effects of radiation on human health and the environment arising from licensed activities are As Low As Reasonably Achievable. RSD is headed by a Director and staffed with experienced professionals - most of them having post graduate degrees in physical sciences and medicine. Like the other technical Directorates of PNRA, RSD works independently and give recommendations after careful assessment and evaluation of radiation safety situation at all licensed facilities. These are submitted for consideration and approval of the Authority, for implementation as regulatory decisions. 3

Nuclear Regulatory Framework Ordinance: – issued by the Government of Pakistan – presents basic objectives, concepts and principles of nuclear and radiation safety and protection for the regulation of nuclear energy Regulations – issued by PNRA – specify the basic requirements that must be fulfilled to ensure safety but do not contain recommendations on how to meet the requirements Regulatory Guides – issued by PNRA, of a non-mandatory nature – recommend actions, conditions or procedures for meeting safety requirements Codes and Standards – Issued by national and international organizations e.g. IEEE etc. – recommend standard 4
