“The IAEA experts together with invited specialists from the USA and Argentina reviewed results of the Belarusian nuclear power plant’s self-evaluation of the fulfillment of recommendations and proposals, which were received during an IAEA pre-OSART (Operational Safety Review Team) mission that took place at the Belarusian nuclear power plant in August 2019.”
The resulting recommendations will be used to prepare for a follow-up visit of the pre-OSART expert group to the Belarusian nuclear power plant in October 2021.
As previously reported, the Pre-OSART (Operational Safety Review Team) monitors the compliance with the IAEA regulations for nuclear power plants under construction and under commissioning before loading nuclear fuel.
