Issue No.2 of 2021 of the "Nuclear and Radiation Safety" Periodical has come out to become the one hundredth jubilee issue since the year of foundation 1998.

Rostechnadzor is to update regulatory requirements to computer programs used for safety analysis of nuclear installations in 2021.

One of the key duties of a nuclear safety authority is to ascertain the nuclear facility safety.

Russian federal nuclear safety rules and regulations ‘Basic Safety Provisions for Nuclear Power Plants’ (NP-001-15) establish a requirement to complement the safety analysis for a nuclear power plant with estimation of errors and uncertainties in the obtained results.

Similar to the situation with other human activities, the coronavirus pandemic has put to test the regulator ability to adapt and retain effective performance under extreme conditions. 

In recent years, there has been a growing interest across the world in the designs of small nuclear power plants (SNPP) with small reactors of various types. 

The Exercise Evaluation software was developed by the SEC NRS to render the scientific and technical support to the Information and Analytical Centre of Rostechnadzor (Rostechnadzor IAC) – the Russian state safety regulation authority in the field of atomic energy.
