12. International Working Forum on Regulatory Supervision of Legacy Sites (RSLS) - Technical Meeting 22 - 24 October 2013, Vienna, Austria 3 main areas to be analyzed: 1. The state of the legislative and governmental framework to regulate radiation safety of legacy sites and facilities 2. The infrastructure and responsibilities of the regulatory body 3. The governmental programmes on remediation of legacy sites and facilities

13. International Working Forum on Regulatory Supervision of Legacy Sites (RSLS) - Technical Meeting 22 - 24 October 2013, Vienna, Austria 1. The state of the legislative and governmental framework to regulate radiation safety of legacy sites and facilities (1)  The legislations of some states (USA, UK, Bulgaria, Kyrgyzstan, Germany, and France) include the specific provisions on nuclear or uranium legacy  In the majority of national legislations do not include such provisions  Despite that the available legal framework of nuclear and radiation safety regulation promotes the activity for the purpose of the legacy regulation  In all countries replied, the law establishes that the objective of the radiation safety is protection of individuals, members of the public and environment against radiation hazards both today and in future

14. International Working Forum on Regulatory Supervision of Legacy Sites (RSLS) - Technical Meeting 22 - 24 October 2013, Vienna, Austria 1. The state of the legislative and governmental framework to regulate radiation safety of legacy sites and facilities (2) 3 types of approaches:  The first: to adopt the special law on the specific type of the legacy (there is a law on “The Tailings and Mining Dumps” in Kyrgyzstan)  The second: To introduce the “existing exposure situation” term in the current radiation safety legislation, which will include, among others, sites contaminated following accidents and past activities of radiation facilities  The third: To carry out remediation of the nuclear and uranium legacy in compliance with the Government statements (Hungary is an example, where the remediation of the uranium facility in Pecs is carried out in accordance with the special Government Statement)

15. International Working Forum on Regulatory Supervision of Legacy Sites (RSLS) - Technical Meeting 22 - 24 October 2013, Vienna, Austria 1. The state of the legislative and governmental framework to regulate radiation safety of legacy sites and facilities (3)  The legislative framework established one or several regulatory bodies to assure radiation safety, including that at the nuclear legacy sites  In case of several governmental authorities, their responsibilities are statutory  In some states, the regulatory body is not statutory For example, both Tajikistan and Hungary has the only regulatory body, which supports the common Government Policy for all radiation hazardous facilities. There are several regulatory bodies in Russia and UK Their interaction is performed according to the “Interaction Agreement” or other similar documents

16. International Working Forum on Regulatory Supervision of Legacy Sites (RSLS) - Technical Meeting 22 - 24 October 2013, Vienna, Austria 1. The state of the legislative and governmental framework to regulate radiation safety of legacy sites and facilities (4) The following provisions are statutory:  The independence of the regulatory body activity  The responsibility and obligations in respect of funding for the management of radioactive waste, that of nuclear legacy, decommissioning  The priority of the international obligations  The involvement of the public and other agencies in the regulatory process  The liability of the operator for radiation safety at legacy sites and facilities

19. International Working Forum on Regulatory Supervision of Legacy Sites (RSLS) - Technical Meeting 22 - 24 October 2013, Vienna, Austria 2. The infrastructure and responsibilities of the regulatory body (2) Problems concerning to execution of supervision functions:  a lack of sufficient technical or functional capacities, required to fulfill the responsibilities for the review and assessment or inspection  there is no exact policy, safety principles and associated criteria as a basis for regulatory actions related to the nuclear legacy  there is no structure of regulatory documents  are no documents on the organization, inspection and clearance of audit results

20. International Working Forum on Regulatory Supervision of Legacy Sites (RSLS) - Technical Meeting 22 - 24 October 2013, Vienna, Austria Resume The infrastructure and responsibilities of the regulatory body Data for 20 countries

22. International Working Forum on Regulatory Supervision of Legacy Sites (RSLS) - Technical Meeting 22 - 24 October 2013, Vienna, Austria Summary of the regulation in state that apply to legacy site (1) 1.In the majority of states, there are authorities responsible for the radiation safety regulation at nuclear and uranium legacy sites 2.Generally, regulatory bodies have powers and functional capacities. In some states organization of regulatory work of the regulatory bodies, which determines the safety principles and criteria for its assessment in terms of radiation safety regulation at legacy sites, is insufficient 3.Question on review of technical documentation by the regulatory body results in different reactions of the responders, because of the presence of several authorities

23. International Working Forum on Regulatory Supervision of Legacy Sites (RSLS) - Technical Meeting 22 - 24 October 2013, Vienna, Austria Summary of the regulation in state that apply to legacy site (2) 4.Poor development of methodical basis (regulations and guide documents) of legacy sites is obvious; so frequency of inspections at legacy sites under control is low 5.Does the regulatory body take into account safety standards and recommendations accepted internationally? – YES. However, a question arises concerning the effectiveness of their implementation in respect to legacy sites 6.The following states: USA, UK, Hungary, Bulgaria, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan (draft), Romania, China, Russia, Ukraine, Kyrgyzstan, Australia – have national programs on remediation of legacy sites

24. International Working Forum on Regulatory Supervision of Legacy Sites (RSLS) - Technical Meeting 22 - 24 October 2013, Vienna, Austria Analysis of regulatory and methodical documents on radiation protection of the public during remediation of the legacy sites  ICRP Recommendations  IAEA documents on remediation of sites  The EC documents of remediation of contaminated areas  National criteria for remediation of radiation contaminated sites: Remediation criteria used by the: United States of America German United Kingdom Russian Federation
