History of Nuclear Legislation in Egypt

1957, the Egyptian Atomic Energy Commission (EAEC) was established ( Atomic Energy Act and its enforcement, decree No 288 1960 – 1962, the Ionizing Radiation (IR) law no 59 1962- 1989, Several Egyptian Decrees and Ordinances for IR sources, Safeguards Agreement, Industrial Radiography

1983 – 1986 , Rules concerning Regulations used for design, construction and operation of NPPs1994 Environmental Law no 4 2005 , EAEA - Radiation Protection Regulations 2006 - 2007 , Nuclear Material Ordinance (2006)14

2010, Nuclear Law 7/ 010 is issued in Mars 2010 for regulating all Nuclear and Radiation Activities and Facilities in Egypt .Its Executive Regulation is Prepared and issued in Oct. 011 and NRRA is functioned in March 2012.

The National Regulatory Authority in EGYPT

ENRRA is presently the national regulatory authority for the regulation, licensing, inspection and safeguards of all nuclear and radioactive materials and nuclear facilities in Egypt.

1983: A commission in charge of the regulation of the nuclear installation safety was established within the AEA which belongs to minister for electricity.

1991: Scope extended to radioactive materials.

2001: Scope extended to radiation protection and safety in mining.

2010: The law of mars 2010 makes NRRA an independent administrative authority supervising all nuclear and radiation activities in Egypt.

NRRA: A long road towards independence

The Structure of New ENRRA consists of :

Safety of Nuclear Installations Sector

Safety of Radiological Installations Sector

Nuclear and Radiation Law 7/010Nuclear and Radiation Law 7/010 New Nuclear Law 7/ 010 is issued in Mars 2010 for regulating

all Nuclear and Radiation Activities and Facilities in Egypt by an

independent organization belongs directly to the prime

minister. Its Executive Regulation is issued in Oct.2011.This

organization is named the ENRRA. To accomplish its task ,

the NRRA shall establish regulations and conduct licensing

process and inspection.

The Nuclear and Radiation Law reflects the Egyptian obligations against International Treaties, Conventions and Agreements that brought into force.

The law 7/010 : (Cont`d)

Main Characteristics of ENRRA

Independently administrative authority.

It belongs directly to prime minister Has powers and necessary resources to fulfill its obligations.

Reports directly to the prime minister

The NRRA must have adequate financial and other resources to meet its current requirement for staff, staff training, buildings, facilities, equipment, use of consultants, etc. to discharge its responsibilities and maintain its independence.

ARTICLES From LAW 7/010(Cont`d) ARTICLES From LAW 7/010(Cont`d)

NRRA should maintain a close liaison with all national organizations such as Environmental Ministry,… .

NRRA should take the necessary measures to have competent persons in radiation and nuclear safety, safeguard, and security (Regional and Interregional Courses.

ARTICLES From ARTICLES From Law 7/010 (Cont`d)

Cooperation between NRRA at International Level(Actual Status)

1.Bilateral cooperation: ~ 3 countries (Korea - KINS, France-IRSN, Argentine-RB)

2. Multilateral organizations: IAEA, EU

REGULATORY INSPECTION IN THE LAW 7/010 (Cont`d)

Nuclear Energy Law 7/2010 (art. 53) states that inspection to the nuclear installations and installations that use ionizing radiation shall be performed by the NRRA in order to ensure that the licensing requirements and nuclear safety regulations are complied with.

Further directives on the Regulatory Inspection program, procedure, conduct of inspection will be prepared

Inspection may be conducted periodically or accidentally, with or without prior notification.

VISITS TO THE FACILITY/ DESIGNER during all stages of the authorization process for:

complementary informationcheck of the claims made in the documentationimprovement in practical understanding of Safety Issuesestablishment of links with operator’s specialistscheck of the QA system of the operator, manufacturers,

suppliers

LAW 7/010 : RIGHTS OF INSPECTORS (Cont`d)

Manpower Needed For NRRA Manpower Needed For NRRA

The NRRA should :Have full time staff for performing assessments or evaluating the adequacy of the assessments performed for the NRRA by consultants. This manpower requirement and technical competence applies also to regulatory inspectionsHave staff composed largely of individuals possessing broad technical expertise for engineering judgment and nuclear health and safety skills, who are capable of assessing on an overall basis the safety of a nuclear power plant .
