8. Nuclear Safety & Security Vulnerabilities

9. Nuclear Safety & Nuclear Security Common Vulnerabilities • Lack of procedures • Inefficient procedures • Lack of Facilities Personnel Training • Lack of communications between authorities • Lack of coherent strategy • Gaps in Legal Framework • Inadequate Equipment

10. Nuclear Security Vulnerabilities (1) • Lack of procedures • Inefficient procedures • Inefficient Physical Protection Systems • Lack of Facilities Personnel Training • Radioactive Sources Lost or Theft • Inefficient Transportation Physical Protection • Lack of communications between authorities

11. Nuclear Security Vulnerabilities (2) • Lack of coherent strategy • Gaps in Legal Framework • Inadequate Equipment • No specialized response units • Permissive Border Control • No background history of radioactive sources • No security culture

12. Cernavoda NPP Safety & Security Characteristics • Cernavoda NPP have comprehensive measures for safety and security; • Comprehensive emergency and security plans; • Robust containment, spent fuel pools, and spent fuel storage containers; • Redundant and diverse plant safety systems; • Trained plant staff, skilled in accident and event response; • Well-trained, well-armed security forces.

14. Nuclear Safety & Nuclear Security Related Actions Plans

15. Actions Plans (1) • Actions Plan to Increase Capability and Independence of Nuclear Regulatory Authority • Actions Plan to Accelerate the Reviewing Process of the National Legislative Framework • Actions Plan for the Investigations of the Potential Sites with Orphans Radioactive Sources and to Set-up Corrective Measures

16. Actions Plans (2) • Actions Plan to Improve the Nuclear & Radiological Security Related Systems Technical Features and Administrative Procedures • Actions Plan for the Nuclear & Radiological Security In-field Early Detection • Actions Plan for the Institutional Cooperation Development • Actions Plan to Increase the Bilateral and Multilateral International Cooperation

17. Expected strategic results (1) • No accidents at nuclear installations; • No acute exposure to ionising radiation; • No radioactive release in exceed of the prescribed limits; • No adverse effects on environment; • No unauthorised or hostile use of radioactive materials; • Improved safety performance; • Effective emergency preparedness;

18. Expected strategic results (2) Strengthening of the attributions and control responsibilities of CNCAN in the nuclear field; Increasing of the staffing number and competence, building up in-house expertise in more areas; Amplification of national and international cooperation; Modern and comprehensive regulatory framework; Transparent licensing process; Increased public confidence.

30. Conclusions

31. Conclusions • An integrated approach for nuclear safety and nuclear security related actions is considered in Romania; • The actions taken by the Nuclear Safety Authority of Romania (CNCAN) covered all relevant aspects regarding nuclear safety and nuclear security; • The synergy between nuclear safety and security is considered by CNCAN for Nuclear Facilities Vital Areas definition and also for inside protective measures;
