Safety and fire protection are at heart of the second round of the Topical Peer Review (TPR 2) carried out by EU countries every 6 years. In Poland, the only facility where such an assessment will be carried out is nuclear reactor Maria. The PAA President has already issued a decision on the safety assessment of the Polish research reactor.

The PAA President, Dr Łukasz Młynarkiewicz, is attending the meeting of the IAEA Board of Governors. The meeting started on Monday, 12 September, in Vienna and will last until 16 September. The representatives of 35 Member States are debating on e.g. the nuclear safety in Ukraine.

The Polish Atomic Energy Agency (PAA) is enhancing its competence as the nuclear regulatory authority. PAA President, Dr Łukasz Młynarkiewicz, met up with the Chairman of the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), Christopher Hanson in Rockville n. Washington. Further cooperation and training for PAA personnel at US nuclear facilities were discussed.

PAA President, Dr Łukasz Młynarkiewicz, and Deputy President, Andrzej Głowacki, were talking to the representative of the Ukrainian nuclear regulator, Oleh Korikov. The talks focused on the Zaporizhzhya NPP and the planned enhancement of cooperation between the PAA and SNRIU.

So far, the military action at the site of the Zaporizhzhya NPP has not caused any damage to the systems important for nuclear safety. The radiation situation in Poland is within normal range. There is no threat to health and life of people and the environment.

The Council of Ministers has adopted a draft act amending the act on the preparation and implementation of investments in nuclear power facilities and associated investments, submitted by the Minister of Climate and Environment.

The PAA President handed over decisions on granting authorisations to science and research centres, which will support the PAA in licensing and inspection of NPP.

New round of applications for the IAEA Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellowship Programme (MSCFP) opens. The deadline for applications is 30 September 2022.

The 7th Review Meeting of the Contracting Parties to the Joint Convention on the Safety of Spent Fuel Management and on the Safety of Radioactive Waste Management was held in Vienna. Polish delegation was headed by the PAA Vice President, Andrzej Głowacki.

They are on duty 24/7. Experts of the PAA monitor the radiation situation non-stop and analyse the data transmitted by the PMS stations installed countrywide. How does it all work? Just watch the film made for you by the PAA.
