This is an archived page. Please visit the new Ukraine country profileUkraine: Other State Organizations HOMEPAGE: http://www.nas.gov.ua Despite strong opposition from individual station managers, a 17 October 1996 Cabinet of Ministers Executive Order directed the State Committee on the Use of Nuclear Power (Derzhkomatom) to set up the National Nuclear Generating Company (Enerhoatom). The semi-independent company was designed to allow government control of power output, sales, and electricity pricing, while at the same time providing individual legal status to Ukrainian nuclear power plants. Specifically, the responsibilities of Enerhoatom include: (1) developing NPP-generated electricity tariffs with the relevant bodies and selling electricity on the national market; (2) buying nuclear fuel; (3) establishing and achieving technical and economic standards; (4) providing a plan for handling spent fuel and radioactive waste; (5) developing a system for training power plant personnel; (6) improving nuclear power plant safety; (7) guaranteeing compliance with international nuclear safety agreements; and (8) building, overhauling, and closing nuclear power reactors.[1] Many of the staff members came from Derzhkomatom. Valeriy Starodumov, a former Derzhkomatom deputy chairman, became Enerhoatom's first president in December 1996.[2] In September 1997, Minister of Energy Oleksiy Shebertsov transferred oversight of the Chornobyl NPP to Enerhoatom. This move precluded a plan to set up a separate company for handling Chornobyl decommissioning, radioactive waste, and sarcophagus safety. The energy ministry cited financial problems at Chornobyl as the reason for placing it under Enerhoatom rather than creating a new company.[3] For more information on Enerhoatom, see their webpage at: http://www.gca.atom.gov.ua.

The Center serves primarily as an international information exchange of
data on nuclear accidents and other radiation related emergencies. It updates
information on daily nuclear developments in Ukraine for the IAEA and fulfills
obligations under the Convention on Early Notification of a Nuclear Accident.
The Center also monitors radiation at Ukrainian nuclear power plants and
creates models of rapid responses to radiation emergencies. It is equipped
with a Gamma system for radiation and meteorologic monitoring around nuclear
power stations. The information center was established with US financial
and technical support.
