Nuclear emergency response exercise
2007.11.19
On 14 November 2007 the Paks NPP held its annual nuclear emergency response exercise together with the following public administration organs: - Hungarian Atomic Energy Authority Emergency Response Organization (HAEA ERO), - Governmental Co-ordination Committee Operative Staff, - Governmental Co-ordination Committee Nuclear Emergency Response Working Group, - Governmental Co-ordination Committee Emergency Centre, - Tolna, Bács-Kiskun and Fejér County Defense Committees. The exercise was evaluated by centrally appointed evaluators, moreover it was observed by international observers from the Czech Republic, the European Commission and the USA. Based on the exercise scenario, a simulated emergency situation at the Paks NPP and its radiological consequences were assessed by the participants. The main objectives of the exercise were to test the equipments of and cooperation between the national emergency response organizations. The exercise was declared successful based on the fast-evaluation of the participants. The evaluation report will be completed by the chief evaluator Dr. József Rónaky, director general of HAEA, and it will contain the areas of improvement and the related corrective actions.

Harmonisation of reactor safety
2006.12.04
In 1999 the Western European Nuclear Regulators’ Association (WENRA) established a Reactor Harmonization Working Group (RHWG). Since 2003 Hungary has also been taking part in the work of the group. The RHWG has recently completed the tasks that were formulated in its mandate document: it developed the Reference Levels (Requirements) in 18 different areas of nuclear safety and performed benchmarking with the Reference Levels (RLs) concerning both legally binding regulations and their implementation in all nuclear power plants in the 17 participating countries.
