24 Jul (NucNet): Planning has begun for a joint Nordic-Russian emergency preparedness exercise for a nuclear incident to be held in Sweden in 2019, Sweden’s regulator has said.
SSM said in a report on its international cooperation in 2017 that it attended as an observer a number of emergency preparedness exercises held at the Novovoronezh, Rostov and Beloyarsk nuclear power stations in Russia.
Several hundred joint projects have been implemented between SSM and states that were republics of the Soviet Union. Cooperation was precipitated by the collapse of the Soviet Union and began in 1991, SSM said.
The report summarises the results of cooperation in nuclear security, safety and non-proliferation carried out in 2017 with partners in Russia, Ukraine, Georgia, Belarus and Moldova. Earlier, projects were completed in Kazakhstan, Armenia, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.
