In the field of nuclear energy development, legal, organizational and technical foundations are being gradually introduced into practice.
Oversight of nuclear and radiation safety in processes related to the construction of a nuclear power plant has been assigned to the Committee for Industrial, Radiation and Nuclear Safety under the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Uzbekistan.
📄 During the past period, the project documentation submitted by the state institution “Directorate for the Construction of a Nuclear Power Plant” was comprehensively reviewed by the Scientific and Technical Center for Radiation and Nuclear Safety under the Committee.
✅ As a result of these reviews, on March 23 of the current year, a permit was issued for the use of the site allocated for the placement of nuclear facilities for the construction of the nuclear power plant.
🔍 In addition, documents, design solutions and safety justification materials related to the construction of NPP power units with the RITM-200N nuclear reactor facility were reviewed based on current legislation, international experience and recommendations of the International Atomic Energy Agency.
🌐 Foreign experts and specialists from international organizations were also involved in the review process, including leading specialists from the Scientific and Technical Center for Radiation and Nuclear Safety of the Russian Federation.
📌 As part of the next stage, today, at a Council meeting organized at the Committee, a decision was adopted to issue a license for the construction of an NPP power unit with the RITM-200N nuclear reactor facility.
🏗 During the implementation of the NPP construction project, the Committee will carry out continuous state oversight of compliance with license conditions, strict adherence to safety requirements during construction, and the protection of the population and the environment.
