  2. FEDERAL ENVIRONMENTAL, INDUSTRIAL AND NUCLEAR SUPERVISION SERVICE OF RUSSIA (ROSTECHNADZOR) Lesson 1Need in safety re-analysis of nuclear facilities in case of emergencies caused by natural disasters 2

  3. Lesson 1 March-April 2011 – inspections of degree of protection of Russian NPPs from external effects conducted by the Russian operator and regulator independently of each other June 2011 – requirements to stress tests of operating Russian NPPs developed by the regulator August 2011 – stress tests of operating Russian NPPScompleted November 2011 - reports on stress tests reviewed Principal conclusion: operating Russian NPPs meet established national safety requirements March 2012 – “Updated Measures to Mitigate Consequences of Beyond-Design Basis Accidents at NPPs” developed by the operator and approved by Rostechnadzor FEDERAL ENVIRONMENTAL, INDUSTRIAL AND NUCLEAR SUPERVISION SERVICE OF RUSSIA (ROSTECHNADZOR) 3

  4. FEDERAL ENVIRONMENTAL, INDUSTRIAL AND NUCLEAR SUPERVISION SERVICE OF RUSSIA (ROSTECHNADZOR) Lesson 1 February 2013 - additional analysis of degree of protection of Russian NPPs under construction from extreme external impacts and development of relevant safety improvement plans completed by the operator Design documentation of NPPs under construction revised and updated February 2013 - stress tests of 7 most powerful and potentially hazardous nuclear research installations performed; relevant reports reviewed and discussed Decision to develop NRI safety improvement plan Stress tests of other NRI to be conducted by May 2013 4

  11. FEDERAL ENVIRONMENTAL, INDUSTRIAL AND NUCLEAR SUPERVISION SERVICE OF RUSSIA (ROSTECHNADZOR) Lesson 3 Effectiveness improvement of interaction of Rostechnadzor with other Russian safety regulatory authorities in the use of atomic energy Transparency and openness of regulatory activities Mandatory publication of draft federal standards and rules in the field of atomic energy use followed by consideration and discussion of comments and proposals received Rostechnadzor’s Public Council 11

  12. FEDERAL ENVIRONMENTAL, INDUSTRIAL AND NUCLEAR SUPERVISION SERVICE OF RUSSIA (ROSTECHNADZOR) • Lesson 3 • IAEAIRRS Follow-up Mission • planned for the end of 2013 • analysis of implementation of recommendations of IAEA IRRS mission conducted in Russia in November 2009 • 2 additional modules: “Regulatory implications of the Fukushima accident” and “Emergency preparedness and response”

  13. FEDERAL ENVIRONMENTAL, INDUSTRIAL AND NUCLEAR SUPERVISION SERVICE OF RUSSIA (ROSTECHNADZOR) • Lesson 3 • Assistance in development of national regulatory infrastructure to the countries planning to construct Russian design NPPs (e.g. Vietnam, Belarus, Turkey) • Analysis of existing legal and regulatory basis and development of safety regulations • Training of personnel • Consultative support on licensing issues including safety reviews

  14. FEDERAL ENVIRONMENTAL, INDUSTRIAL AND NUCLEAR SUPERVISION SERVICE OF RUSSIA (ROSTECHNADZOR) Lessons learnt convinced us once again of the need for open and timely sharing of experience, knowledge and information giving top priority to safety 14
