The Organizations We Cooperate with

Organizations we cooperate with

Gosatomnadzor is building international cooperation to strengthen nuclear and radiation safety both bilaterally (through interaction with regulatory bodies, technical support organizations, other organizations involved in nuclear and radiation safety issues) and at the multilateral level (in the framework of international organizations, associations, programs and projects with multilateral participation).

Multilateral cooperation

The priority of multilateral cooperation is interaction with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the world's leading organization in the field of nuclear energy, working with Member States and numerous partners around the world, promoting safe and peaceful use of nuclear technology and modern nuclear and radiation safety standards.

Gosatomnadzor also develops large-scale cooperation with the European Union (EU) represented by the European Commission, which promotes the development of nuclear and radiation safety both in the Member States and in other partner states, primarily - bordering the EU, in the framework of Instrument for Nuclear Safety Cooperation (INSC).

An important area of ​​multilateral cooperation of Gosatomnadzor is interaction with international associations in the post-Soviet space, in particular within the framework of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) and the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), which contributes to the unification of legislation and approaches to ensuring nuclear and radiation safety in the participating countries.

Gosatomnadzor has joined a number of international associations and networks of regulatory bodies in the field of nuclear and radiation safety, under which they exchange experience, best practices and approaches to ensure nuclear and radiation safety, introduce modern safety standards, including:

  • Regulatory Cooperation Forum (RCF). Belarus, represented by Gosatomnadzor, joined the RCF as a beneficiary in 2012; 

  • Association of Western European Nuclear Regulators Association (WENRA). Belarus, represented by Gosatomnadzor, was admitted to WENRA as an observer in 2015;

  • Forum of regulatory authorities of countries operating the water-water energetic reactor (WWER Forum). Belarus, represented by Gosatomnadzor, was admitted to the WWER Forum as an observer in 2015;

  • Europe and Central Asia Nuclear Safety Network (EuCAS). Gosatomnadzor is represented in EuCAS since the founding of the network in September 2016 and is a participant in the development and signatory of the document initiating this regional association.

Bilateral cooperation

Gosatomnadzor implements bilateral cooperation activities in various areas of regulating nuclear and radiation safety under agreements (intergovernmental, interdepartmental, and others) with foreign partners from 13 countries: Austria, Armenia, Hungary, Germany, Latvia, Poland, Russian Federation, Northern Europe (Norway, Finland, Sweden), Slovakia, Ukraine, France.

The top priority is interaction with organizations of the Russian Federation involved in ensuring nuclear and radiation safety, especially with the regulatory body, the Federal Environmental, Industrial and Nuclear Supervision Service (Rostechnadzor).

As for other states, the priority in establishing and developing bilateral cooperation in ensuring nuclear and radiation safety is given to the neighboring countries of the Republic of Belarus, as well as to countries with developed nuclear energy and, in particular, with the scale of nuclear energy programs comparable to Belarus.
