Licensing and safety assessment of new nuclear power plants were the main topics of the workshop organized by the PAA in Warsaw. The event was attended by American experts from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission of the United States of America (US NRC).

More than 10 years after the disaster of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, representatives of the nuclear sector from around the world met in Tokyo to discuss measures taken after 2011 to strengthen nuclear safety. Poland was represented by the President of the PAA, Dr Łukasz Młynarkiewicz. The President of the PAA also participated in the meeting of the Committee on Nuclear Regulatory Activities of the Nuclear Energy Agency, which was also held in the capital of Japan.

Another resolution condemning the actions of the Russian Federation in Ukraine was adopted by the Board of Governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency. In the adopted resolution, the IAEA does not recognize attempts by the Russians to take over the Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant.

The first nuclear power plant in Poland will be built on the basis of the American technology of Westinghouse Nuclear, the government decided. On Wednesday, November 2, the Council of Ministers adopted a resolution on this matter. The National Atomic Energy Agency (PAA) will supervise the safe implementation of this project.

Each year PAA’s inspectors carry out around 1000 inspections in institutions that use ionizing radation. The National Atomic Energy Agency of the Republic of Poland also monitors the radiation situation round the clock. These are only examples of PPA’s actions for nuclear safety and radiological protection, which have been a priority for the Agency for 40 years. On 17th of October 2022, the anniversary celebebrations of the National Atomic Energy Agency took place in Warsaw.

The National Atomic Energy Agency of the Republic of Poland conducted series of consultations aimed at strengthening nuclear safety during the 66th General Conference of the International Atomic Energy Agency. The Polish delegation was chaired by Anna Moskwa, Minister of Climate and Environment. The vice-chairmen of the national delegation were PAA President Łukasz Młynarkiewicz and PAA Vice-President Andrzej Głowacki.

The key Polish institutions in charge of nuclear safety have signed an agreement. The National Atomic Energy Agency (PAA) and the Office of Technical Supervision (UDT) will be working together even closer.

Following another shelling episode of the Zaporizhzhya NPP there is no radiation risk – the State Nuclear Regulatory Inspectorate of Ukraine (SNRIU) confirmed to the PAA.
