RCF unites 26 countries. Belarus joined the Forum in 2012 and is one of the recipient countries, along with Vietnam, Jordan, Poland, the Republic of Ghana and Morocco. In 2014, the RCF Work Plan for the Republic of Belarus was formed and is being implemented.
Within the framework of the working meeting, the Belarusian side informed the RCF delegation about the progress in the development of the nuclear regulatory infrastructure in the Republic of Belarus, including the results of the IAEA mission on the integrated assessment of regulatory infrastructure in October 2016. The representatives of the Forum described the current activities of the RCF on strengthening coordination support in development of regulatory infrastructure in the Republic of Belarus. The sides discussed issues of improving the effectiveness of topical support and cooperation provided to Gosatomnadzor, identified forward-looking activities to update the RCF Action Plan for the Republic of Belarus in 2017, and approaches to assessing the activities of the Forum.
Along with the working discussion on the issues of interaction in Gosatomnadzor, the visit program of the delegation included a visit to the construction site of the Belarusian NPP in Ostrovets. Representatives of RCF got acquainted with the work of the Gosatomnadzor’s department, which provides the supervision of NPP construction on a permanent basis, progress in the construction of the nuclear power plant, the activities of the Training Center with a full-scale simulator and the Information Center of the Belarusian NPP.
