Absence of any abnormal radiation pollution in Aras river

According to the foreign policy group of Tasnim news agency, Mohammad Reza Kardan, head of Iran’s nuclear safety system center Congratulating the arrival of the year 1403 Hijri and the holy month of Ramadan, he said: In 1402, the center of the country’s nuclear safety system had many important activities, the most important thing that happened was the approval of paragraph “p” of article 43 of the seventh plan law, which made this center an institution It became a government with an independent legal personality. He pointed out that this issue was one of the necessary issues for the development of nuclear technology and industry in the country, and said: In this single article, the preparation of a statute for the center of the nuclear safety system. It has been seen that it must be approved by the Cabinet of Ministers, so this year one of our main tasks will be the preparation and approval of the constitution of the country’s nuclear safety system center.

Issuance of nearly 13 thousand permits and licenses in the field of radiation application. Through the Sinap system, the deputy of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran stated that the approval of the national plan to deal with nuclear and radiation emergencies in the Supreme National Security Council and its notification in 1402 was one of the other actions of this center. which was completed, he emphasized: the continuation of this work will be followed in 1403 so that the necessary measures for implementation and training will be carried out in order to be prepared based on this national plan. Last year, it is possible to mention the drafting and approval of the document on the evolution of the country’s nuclear safety system, which was strongly emphasized by the respected head of the organization from the very first days. Kardan stated that this document has different parts and can as a road map to create a transformation in the safety system, he said: One of the things that was done at the level of laws and regulations in 1402 was the approval of the safety regulations of nuclear facilities in the government.

He continued. Dad: Another thing that the country’s nuclear safety system center does as a regulatory organization is to formulate and approve rules and regulations in the field of radiation protection, safety, security and protection, which are mandatory for all operators.

The head of the country’s nuclear safety system center stated: One of the most important things that was put on the agenda in the last one or two years was the revision of these rules and regulations. In the past year, we approved 14 degrees and now 38 items are on the agenda, the implementation process of which is underway, and we hope to be able to approve these items in 1403.

The issue of issuing permits and licenses by the country’s nuclear safety system center based on the law as the authority for doing this work was the next issue that the deputy of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran referred to and said: According to the law, the issuance of permits and licenses for all facilities and activities that work in the country in the field of radiation is the responsibility of the country’s nuclear safety system center, and this issue is not only related to the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, but also includes other centers outside of it. .

He added: In 1402, a large amount of work was done in this field, and more than 21,000 applications for the issuance of licenses were received by this center, and in the end, nearly 13,000 cases led to the issuance of licenses or permits. became. This number shows that, on average, we received more than 100 requests for licenses and permits in 1402.

Achieving the first rank among executive bodies in providing services and issuing licenses without delay

The head of the country’s nuclear safety system center said that these requests did not include only one letter and that there are many documents such as protection calculations, work instructions, education and training certificates of employees. According to the existing laws of the country, all business start-up licenses must be submitted through the national licensing portal, so all requests to the system center are made through this route.

He added: the system center Last year, nuclear safety was able to get the first rank among the executive bodies of the country without a single day of delay in providing services. The National Licensing Portal specified a period of time for licensing and in the comparisons, the country’s nuclear safety system center was ranked highest.

Kardan pointed out that at least 100 requests are sent to the country’s nuclear safety center every day through the Sinap system, and all of them are answered in a specific time frame without delay, he said: In addition to We have set up a call center where our colleagues are accountable to citizens in all areas related to this center.

There is no doubt that the activity of a nuclear reactor and the risk it poses to society and people are different from a small radiology center, and based on this, the level of inspections will also be different. Kardan continued: The process of inspections before visiting The place has started and all the records must be carefully checked and after the inspection, the work is followed to ensure compliance with all the recommendations and assigning their tasks, so that if any deficiencies are observed, the collections will be dealt with according to the regulations and the law.

Update of all radiation monitoring systems in 1403 throughout the country

After detailed investigations in the reliable laboratories of the safety system center and the measurements that were carried out, it should be firmly stated that no unusual radiation pollution has been observed in Aras River so far. We installed an online underwater radiation pollution measurement device at Peldasht station. This station, which was installed last year, sends online information related to radioactive substances in the Aras River to the system center if it is observed, and this system is being measured 24 hours a day.

Kardan continued. : The issues that are raised more about Aras River are related to heavy metal pollution. This issue is the same thing that is raised by the officials of the environmental organization, and regarding the radiation pollution, there is no source that contaminates Aras, and not that anything has been observed. The results are clear, and as it was said, 24-hour monitoring and radiation measurement is being done in this river. In this regard, it is important to mention that this power plant has a considerable distance from the Ares River on the one hand, and on the other hand, its design is in such a way that it is not cooled by water, but by air. However, based on our duties and the protection of the environment and people, we are following the work of monitoring this river online and offline, and the last step of measuring the beam of water and Ars sediment was done in March 1402.

The important role of the safety system center in the plan of “dealing with nuclear and radiation emergencies” The Atomic Energy Organization of Iran was explaining the achievements of the country’s nuclear safety system center. In this regard, Kardan said: Based on this plan, tasks have been assigned to the institutions and organizations. He added: In this field, the center of the country’s nuclear safety system has tasks, and for this reason and to create readiness with other Institutions, especially the crisis management organization, which plays an important and key role in this direction, we have had many meetings with the managers of crisis centers in provinces such as Tehran and Bushehr, and working groups have been formed to plan how to make decisions and take necessary measures in case of an incident. /p>
