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.

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 considers the question of implementing nuclear security into the area of nuclear energy use in Ukraine. The comparative analysis of international conventions, IAEA recommendations, national regulations on physical protection and nuclear security and legislative framework of Ukraine on physical protection was provided for this purpose. The research presents the trends and patterns in historical development of physical protection and nuclear security and their position in nuclear and radiation safety regulatory framework. IAEA recommendations on essential elements of nuclear security regime and practical knowledge on basic components of nuclear security and interface with nuclear safety in Ukraine are examined. Recommendations on promising ways of physical protection regime maintenance and nuclear security regime implementation in Ukraine, as well as proposals on development of first-priority regulatory documents on nuclear security are provided.

This article presents the results of a number of operations research studies (OR) of family planning services provided by a new cadre of female village-based family planning workers in Punjab Province, Pakistan. This cadre of workers, recruited nationwide, have been trained to visit women in their villages to provide information and family planning services. The studies were conducted as part of a broad program of technical assistance to the Government of Pakistan. Surveys investigated the quality of their training as well as attitudes among clients to the new program. They found that the program is developing well but there is room for improvement, particularly in counseling and training. Additional field studies are ongoing and recommendations for change have been incorporated in training and supervision. The program is expanding on a national scale.

Alpha Therapy

AbstractWe present the guideline for use of [211At] sodium astatide (NaAt) for targeted alpha therapy in clinical trials on the basis of radiation safety issues in Japan. This guideline was prepared by a study supported by the Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare, and approved by the Japanese Society of Nuclear Medicine on 8th Feb, 2021. The study showed that patients receiving [211At]NaAt do not need to be admitted to a radiotherapy room and outpatient treatment is possible. The radiation exposure from the patient is within the safety standards of the ICRP and IAEA recommendations for the general public and caregivers. Precautions for patients and their families, safety management associated with the use of [211At]NaAt, education and training, and disposal of medical radioactive contaminants are also included in this guideline. Treatment using [211At]NaAt in Japan should be carried out according to this guideline. Although this guideline is applied in Japan, the issues for radiation protection and evaluation methodology shown here are considered internationally useful as well.

To better understand the barriers to implementing policy; systems; and environmental (PSE) change initiatives within Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program-Education (SNAP-Ed) programming in U.S. rural communities; as well as strategies to overcome these barriers, this study identifies: (1) the types of nutrition-related PSE SNAP-Ed programming currently being implemented in rural communities; (2) barriers to implementing PSE in rural communities; and (3) common best practices and innovative solutions to overcoming SNAP-Ed PSE implementation barriers. This mixed-methods study included online surveys and interviews across fifteen states. Participants were eligible if they: (1) were SNAP-Ed staff that were intimately aware of facilitators and barriers to implementing programs, (2) implemented at least 50% of their programming in rural communities, and (3) worked in their role for at least 12 months. Sixty-five staff completed the online survey and 27 participated in interviews. Barriers to PSE included obtaining community buy-in, the need for relationship building, and PSE education. Facilitators included finding community champions; identifying early “wins” so that community members could easily see PSE benefits. Partnerships between SNAP-Ed programs and non-SNAP-Ed organizations are essential to implementing PSE. SNAP-Ed staff should get buy-in from local leaders before implementing PSE. Technical assistance for rural SNAP-Ed programs would be helpful in promoting PSE.
