Hydrometeorology)
were combined to form this Ministry.
[NISNP discussions with Belarusian official, April 1995.]
Established in 1991 by special decree of the Belarusian government, Promatomnadzor
is the
national authority on nuclear and radiation safety.
Promatomnadzor is a part of the Ministry of Emergency Situations and Chornobyl
Affairs. It was set up on the basis of Gostekhnadzor, the state technical
inspectorate, incorporating the Interregional Nuclear and Radiation Safety Inspectorate and
later absorbing the Department for Nuclear and Radiation Safety Regulation.[1]
Promatomnadzor regulates and controls spent radiation sources,
licenses nuclear and waste management facilities,[2] supervises all stages of radioactive waste management, and organizes the
development of regulations and standards in the field.[1] Promatomnadzor oversees over 17,000 enterprises, organizations,
and agencies that operate over 200,000 facilities subject to
monitoring.[3]
