The President of the PAA emphasized the importance of cooperation between the Institute and the National Atomic Energy Agency, which was reflected, among other things, by granting the Institute a decision on authorization to assess the radiation state of the environment prior to the siting stage, during commissioning as well as operation of the nuclear power plant. The Institute also conducts assessments of individual and environmental dosimetry systems for a nuclear power plant and measurements in its surroundings.
