Specialized Division “PRRAO – Novi Han”
The facility is intended for storage of low and intermediate level radioactive waste generated in the country from industry, medicine, agriculture and research (institutional RAW).
CommissioningIt has been in operation since 1964 as part of the INRNE of BAS, and since 2006 it has been part of the State Enterprise “Radioactive Waste”.
Оperating license:Series “E”, № 5501 / 12.07.2019, valid until 31.12.2025.
Current condition Operation of the facility according to the terms of the license:For radioactive waste (RAW) category 1 and category 2a according to the categorization, established by the Regulation for safety management of RAW, generated outside Kozloduy NPP.Transport, treatment and storage of RAW.Storage of sources of ionizing radiation with unknown owner, including orphan sources.
Specialized Division “RAW – Kozloduy”
Commissioning: 1996 as part of Kozloduy NPP, and since 2005 is part of the State Enterprise “Radioactive Waste”. The facility processes and stores radioactive waste of category 2a.
Operating license: Series “E”, № 4805 / 28.04.2015, valid until 29.04.2025. Scope – safety management of radioactive waste (RAW) generated by Kozloduy NPP.
Current status: Processing, conditioning and storage of the radioactive waste, generated by the Kozloduy NPP operation. Solid low and intermediate level short-lived RAW and cubic residue (CA) are accepted in the facilities of the unit, which are processed in order to bring them into a form ensuring their safe storage and subsequent disposal.
National Repository for Radioactive Waste
The facility is intended for disposal of the generated in the country conditioned short-lived low- and intermediate level RAW from nuclear facilities and nuclear applications. The storage is envisaged to be a surface multi-barrier engineering facility, modular type.
Authorization:Permit for construction of a nuclear facility № ST 4296 / 05.05.2017 with a validity period of 05.05.2024.
Current condition: Construction activities are performed in accordance with the terms of the permit.
