The Beloyarsk NPP: occupational safety and health of personnel is at the level of world standards

Auditors from the Certification Association "Russian Register" confirmed the compliance of the occupational safety and health (OHSAS) management system, which operates at the Beloyarsk NPP, with requirements of the international standard OHSAS 18001: 2007 (Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems). The inspection was carried out by the audit team on September 9-11, with the participation of technical experts of the JSC "Institute of Klin and working conditions "OLS-set. "

"Testing took place in the stated quantities. We again confirmed the efficiency and effectiveness of the Beloyarsk NPP OHSAS and its compliance with the international standards, "- said the head of the audit team" Russian Register "Alexander Potsebnev.

Not only production facilities, the staff, who work directly with the equipment, but also all other nuclear units, including the departments of management structures, are involved in support of OHSAS. And power unit worker, and turbin worker, and electrician, and accountant, and clerk - every profession without exception and job are assessed for occupational safety and health with the development of risk management measures.

The Beloyarsk nuclear power plant was entered into work in April, 1964. It is the first nuclear power plant in big nuclear power of the country, and unique with reactors of different types on one platform. The first power units of the Beloyarsk nuclear power plant with reactors on thermal neutrons of AMB-100 and AMB-200 are stopped in connection with resource development. In operation there is the unique power unit in the world with the reactor on fast neutrons of an industrial power level of BN-600. In the stage of construction there is a power unit with the reactor on fast neutrons of BN-800. Power units on fast neutrons are urged to expand significantly fuel base of nuclear power and to minimize radioactive waste at the expense of the organization of the closed nuclear and fuel cycle.
