A delegation from the National Atomic Energy Agency, headed by Andrzej Głowacki, President of the National Atomic Energy Agency, took part in the NRC's Annual Regulatory Information Conference.
Representatives of nuclear regulatory authorities from around the world had been exchanging information and experiences in the field of nuclear safety and oversight of nuclear facilities in Rockville, USA, for several days.
Andrzej Głowacki took part in one of the debates organized by the hosts. During the discussion with representatives of the International Atomic Energy Agency and nuclear regulators from the United Kingdom, the Republic of Korea, and the Kingdom of the Netherlands, he presented, among other topics, the Polish nuclear regulatory authority's preparations for assessing the application for a license of construction of the first nuclear power plant in Poland.
– While awaiting the submission of the application, as part of preparations for its assessment, we are in ongoing pre-licensing dialogue with Polskie Elektrownie Jądrowe, the investor. We are also drawing on the experience of our foreign partners, such as the American nuclear regulatory body - said Andrzej Głowacki.
The conference provided an opportunity to discuss regulatory systems and trends in their development in other countries, as well as technical discussions on experiences in assessing small modular reactor technology.
During the conference, PAA representatives held discussions with the U.S. NRC leadership regarding further cooperation in the context of evaluating the application for a license to build a nuclear power plant using AP1000 technology.
As part of the event, the PAA delegation, along with representatives of the Japanese Nuclear Regulatory Authority, undertook a technical visit to the Three Mile Island Nuclear Power Plant. During the visit, discussions focused on exchanging regulatory experience to enhance nuclear safety. Decommissioning activities at Reactor No. 2 and plans for restarting Unit No. 1 after a five-year shutdown were also presented.
