Regulatory Capacity Building in Romania. An International Nuclear Safety Cooperation between Norway, Romania and the IAEA 2013-2017 (Contributed Paper)

The Norwegian Radiation Protection Authority (NRPA), the Romanian National Commission for Nuclear Activities Control (CNCAN) and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) are enhancing the regulatory competence in Romania. The project started in the end of 2013 and will be completed in 2017. The goal of the project is to improve the competence of CNCAN in eight specific areas through the exchange of experience, best practices and capacity building with NRPA and the IAEA. The project is on-going and some of the results of the project are presented in the paper. The project has a budget of 4.2 million euro, 85% covered by the Norway Grants and 15% covered by Romania. This is a continuation of a similar project implemented with the same partners in 2009-2011. (author)
