To achieve its goals quickly and effectively for the development of best practices, Navoiyuran SE participates in national and international associations, joining forces based on common goals and interests. In connection with acquiring the status of an independent enterprise on 1 January 2022, Navoiyuran SE automatically assumed responsibility to members of the IAEA and joined the World Nuclear Association.
The Company adheres to the principles of openness, constructive interaction and responsibility when working with government bodies and other stakeholders, which, in turn, are the building blocks for creating the economic value of the Company, as well as promoting the principles of sustainable development.
Cooperation with the IAEA
As a full-fledged member of the UN, the Republic of Uzbekistan joined the IAEA on 26 January 1994, being largely involved in the implementation of treaties, agreements and conventions aimed at ensuring nuclear safety and safeguards.
In accordance with the Law of On Accession of the Republic of Uzbekistan to the Joint Convention on the Safety of Spent Fuel Management and on the Safety of Radioactive Waste Management dated 11 November 2008 No. ZRU-186, our country acceded to this important agreement.
Pursuant to the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Uzbekistan dated 31 December 2015 No. 379, the State Committee for Industrial Safety of the Republic of Uzbekistan was appointed as the authorised body to ensure delivering on the commitment of the country under the Joint Convention on the Safety of Spent Fuel and Radioactive Waste Management, as well as for the preparation and submission of national reports to the IAEA on this issue.
IAEA specialists and technical experts have repeatedly visited Navoiyuran SE enterprises, and as a result, are fully aware of the Company’s environmental system and have all the necessary information.
As part of the close cooperation supported by the IAEA Technical Cooperation Programme, international meetings, conferences, hands-on training events and courses are regularly held.
Cooperation also includes internships with the participation of the Company’s specialists in the field of radiation and nuclear safety, where international organisations and experts take part. The IAEA programme also requires providing practical assistance in equipping the enterprise with modern high-tech equipment for radiation and dosimetry monitoring, helping to strengthen its material and technical facilities.
