National Atomic Energy Agency

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.

With easy-to-read graphics, more functions, user-friendly presentation, the new map meets the state-of-the-art standards of web publishing. We encourage you to make use of the new radiation monitoring map on the PAA website.

On 15 September, the IAEA Board of Governors adopted a resolution calling upon the Russian Federation to immediately leave the territory of the Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant. The resolution was proposed and prepared by Poland and Canada.

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.
