According to Articles 22 and 24 of the Law of Ukraine “On Nuclear Energy Use and Radiation Safety” and with the aim of improving the regulatory and legal documents regulating nuclear and radiation safety of nuclear installations, the regulation “Requirements for Seismic Resistance Design and Evaluation of Seismic Safety of Ukrainian NPPs: NP 306.2.208-2016” was developed. The paper presents modern requirements included into NP 306.2.208-2016. The emphasis was done on new requirements that were not previously available in PNAE G-006-87, but should be taken into account both in the design of new NPP units and in the assessment/reassessment of seismic resistance of operating units.

The paper describes the main areas of educational activities on nuclear and radiation safety, which have been formed in recent years and are currently implemented by the State Enterprise "State Scientific and Technical Center for Nuclear and Radiation Safety" (SSTC NRS). The experience of SSTC NRS in conducting training and advanced training for personnel of domestic enterprises on nuclear energy use is related to nuclear and radiation safety, radiation safety in using radiation sources (industry and medicine), mining and processing of uranium ores. The paper describes specialized areas of training prepared at the request of nuclear companies, in particular: support and training of management staff of NNEGC "Energoatom", transfer of experience in the use of computer codes and programs, exercise of practical approaches to the application of guidelines for severe accident management, training on indigenous analysis of NPP abnormal operation. The participation of SSTC NRS in international programs, projects and initiatives on training and transfer of experience within the EU technical assistance program Instrument for Nuclear Safety Cooperation and the Euratom Research and Training Program provides information on new initiatives for training on nuclear and radiation safety.

The paper considers the procedure of ensuring physical protection of radioactive materials, in particular establishing levels of physical protection and its impact on nuclear security in Ukraine. There is a brief overview of the nature and types of radioactive waste in Ukraine, types of storage facilities, other radioactive waste management facilities, locations of radioactive waste in Ukraine, in particular the Chornobyl exclusion zone, causes of threats and risks. Efficient prevention of these threats requires the state system for physical protection of facilities and installations. Based on experience, paper authors, who review physical protection in construction and modernization of physical protection systems of radioactive waste management facilities, consider the state of physical protection of storage facilities and other installations, their modernization and unsolved problems. The paper also considers the physical protection issue in radioactive waste transport and provides conclusions on the improvement of the regulatory and legal framework of nuclear security in Ukraine.

With the national security agenda here to stay, this article looks at the central yet contradictory role played in it by the communications industry. As well as the legislative framework, it canvasses issues and responses of telecommunications and internet providers, service engines, as well as those involved in journalism, broadcasting and content provision. The article argues that the communications industry is far from a neutral actor in the national security regime.

AbstractThe development and utilization of nuclear energy is one of the greatest achievements of the 20th century. It has greatly enhanced the ability of humanity to understand and shape the world and had a significant impact on the development of technology and civilization. In the 21st century, the United Nations (UN) has developed the “Millennium Development Goals” and the “2030 Sustainable Development Goals” to promote a comprehensive solution to the world’s social, economic and environmental issues. To this end, nuclear energy offers unique advantages, but the associated risks and challenges of its further development and utilization must be addressed. Nuclear law is a powerful tool for regulating its development and responding to those risks and challenges. The Chinese Government has always developed nuclear energy for peaceful purposes in a safe and innovative way. At the Nuclear Security Summit in 2014, President Xi Jinping proposed adhering to a rational, coordinated and balanced approach to nuclear security and promoting a fair, cooperative and win–win international nuclear security regime. This not only summarizes China’s experience in establishing a nuclear legal framework and developing nuclear industry, but would also strengthen international nuclear governance and promote nuclear energy to better benefit humanity. The international community should fulfil international obligations strictly, implement national responsibilities effectively, and jointly maintain the UN focused international system and international legal order, contributing to the realization of the common goal of “Atoms for Peace and Development”.
