SE «USIE IZOTOP» Director Volodymyr Kalachyk and Head of International Cooperation Department Andrii Kravets participated in the UNFA meeting.

📅 On 20th November 2025, the Ukrainian Nuclear Forum Association (UNFA) held a round table discussion “The Chornobyl Exclusion Zone: Radioactive Waste (RAW) Management. Status, Main Problems, and Future Vision”. The round table brought together representatives of international organizations, Ministry of Energy, SAUEZM, NNEGC “Energoatom”, specialized enterprises and Ukrainian companies that are members of the UNFA and NGO «Ukrainian Nuclear Society», to discuss the state of the Ukrainian radioactive waste management system, issues of infrastructure development in the Exclusion Zone, and the harmonization of national policy with the Euratom directives.

💬 A professional discussion was held on the state of activities in the field of RAW management. The purpose of this discussion was to coordinate the positions of all stakeholders, identify common problems, find ways for their solution, seek sources of funding, and establish effective partnerships. The results of the discussion should be summarized in a Position Document, which will be submitted to the relevant Ukrainian authorities and, if possible, to international financial institutions.

🌍 Representatives of SE “USIE IZOTOP” participated in several events within the ORS (the US Office of Radiological Security) Program in Ukraine, which took place in Prague (Czech Republic) during November 10-14, 2025.
🏭 The factory acceptance tests of NOS-1000 packaging set, designed for storage and transportation of neutron radiation sources, were conducted at the manufacturing site of UJP Praha a.s. During the tests, special attention was paid to assessing the reliability of the design and compliance with safety requirements during transportation.
📡 Within this technical visit, a T-STAR deployment and training was also organized. This system is used to monitor and track the transportation of ionizing radiation sources. The practical skills acquired will contribute to further improving the efficiency and transparency of source transportation carried out by SE “USIE IZOTOP” in cooperation with international partners.
📘 The knowledge and practical skills gained during the visit will promote further improving the processes of safe and secure transportation of radiation sources.
🤝 SE “USIE IZOTOP” expresses its gratitude to the ORS program and partners from UJP Praha a.s. for their constructive cooperation and support of Ukraine in strengthening radiological safety and security.

The Director of SE “USIE IZOTOP” took part in the final meeting on the issue of an integrated automated radiation monitoring system.

🇺🇦 On 13th November 2025, Director of SE “USIE IZOTOP” took part in a final meeting of Project U4.01/19B “Support for the creation of an integrated automatic radiation monitoring system covering the whole territory of Ukraine. Stage 1″ with the participation of EC Project Manager, members of the Project Steering Committee from JSO (Joint Support Office for management of projects under the EC’s Instrument for Nuclear Safety Cooperation (INSC)), STCU, Beneficiaries (subject ministries, SNRIU, SESU, SAUEZM), contractor (“UkrAtomInstruments” Corporation) and key project end users, among which is our enterprise.

🔬 The project is implemented under the support of EC within the INSC and aimed at creation in Ukraine of the Integrated Automatic Environmental Radiation Monitoring System (IARMS) and its integration with European and international radiation monitoring networks (such as the network of IAEA) with the objective to increase the level of radiation safety of the population of Ukraine and neighbouring countries, improve the Ukraine’s ability to respond to emergencies, as well as to contribute to the early warning of radiation hazards.

🤝 We would like to thank our international partners for their continued support of Ukraine in implementing such important projects.
