5 NATIONAL NUCLEAR/RADIOLOGICAL EMERGENCY PLAN CO-OPERATION INTERNATIONAL AUTHORITIES (EU-IAEA) 1. Based on international directives and conventions 2. Information exchange with European Commission (WEBECURIE) and IAEA (USIE): Notification and follow up information (radiological/technical, protective actions) 3. Messages to international authorities copy to neighbouring countries 4. Requests assistance: Union Civil Protection Mechanism (European Commission) and RANET (IAEA) 5. Host Nation Support: provisions affected country to receive international assistance 6. (Communication) exercises EC and IAEA 5

6 NATIONAL NUCLEAR/RADIOLOGICAL EMERGENCY PLAN BASIS CO-OPERATION NEIGHBOURING COUNTRIES 1. Bilateral or multilateral nuclear specific or general cooperation agreements 2. Principle of co-operation between homologues authorities (with similar role) regarding: alert on federal and local level radiological-technical evaluation tuning protective actions population information to the public strategic and operational coordination on local level assistance organization emergency plan exercises liaison officer 3. Homologous authorities in emergency preparedness and emergency response 6

7 ENHANCE CROSS BORDER CO-OPERATION EU-Regions: Maas-Rijn (Tihange), Grande Region (Cattenom) Facilitation of cross-border co-operation Development of dispositions and structures regarding nuclear EP and R Benelux - working group on crisis management Facilitation of cross-border co-operation Crisis centra Benelux members Mapping op homologues authorities on prevention, emergency preparedness and emergency response HERCA-WENRA working group on emergencies Development of instruments to enhance: Mutual understanding/trust of EP and R arrangements in (neighbouring) countries (f.e. country fact sheets) Harmonization of strategies on EP and R in (neighbouring) countries (HERCA-WENRA approach) 7

8 ENHANCE CROSS BORDER CO-OPERATION HERCA-WENRA Approach for a better cross-border coordination of protective actions during the early phase of a nuclear accident 8

9 ENHANCE CROSS BORDER CO-OPERATION Example from the last ConvEx-3 (accident at Paks NPP): Zone where sheltering indoors was advised. 9

10 HERCA-WENRA APPROACH Preparedness phase: achieve and maintain a shared understanding of the existing national emergency arrangements through the improvement of bilateral or multilateral arrangements (TRUST!) Early phase: Rapid information exchange using bilateral and multilateral arrangements liaison officers Recommendation to government: do the same as accident country (if response is consistent) Later phase: Common situation report to support coordinated protective actions Severe accident little information: simplified schemes protective actions 10

11 HERCA-WENRA APPROACH Common level of preparation for protective actions HERCA-WENRA recommends in Europe: evacuation should be prepared up to 5 km around nuclear power plants, and sheltering and ITB up to 20 km; a general strategy should be defined in order to be able to extend evacuation up to 20 km, and sheltering and ITB up to 100 km; 11
