National nuclear emergency preparedness system is based on the “State Plan and Programme for the Ionizing Radiation Countermeasures and Interventions in Case of an Emergency“. According to the plan, organizational structure for the nuclear emergency preparedness includes the following key participants:
Crisis Headquarters of the State Office for Radiological and Nuclear Safety is the lead support body for the case of nuclear accident. Its main duty is to prepare all expert bases necessary for the decision making process related to countermeasures implementation. TSC also has the obligation to prepare the bases for timely and accurate public informing. Crisis management is the task of the National Protection and Rescue Directorate. The NPRD makes the decisions concerning the countermeasures and supervises their implementation. Implementation of the countermeasures is the duty of the operational forces and special teams. The operational forces are formed from the professional state and local government units, firefighters, civil protection units and specialized companies personnel. Special teams are well trained and equipped units able to accomplish the tasks such as decontamination, damage repair or radiological monitoring installation. |
