Nordisk Sikkerhet AS assisted the State Border Guard Service (SBGS) of Ukraine to provide staff at the Zhytomyrskyi border detachment located at the Ukrainian- Belarusian border with the technical means and training for nuclear and radiological materials control.
Some elements of the detachment’s equipment were reaching the end of their lifecycles and needed be replaced. The availability of personal protective equipment was increased to ensure adequate protection for personnel in the event of a nuclear or radiological incident. Finally, additional equipment was also required for expanded coverage of the border in the Zhytomyrskyi region. This project addressed these issues by providing additional radiological and nuclear material detection, protection, and dosimetry equipment. This raised the detection and mitigation capability of the SBGS to help prevent and manage the illicit trafficking of nuclear and radiological material across the Ukrainian-Belarusian border.

NorSik and SBGS prepared for and conducted four open tenders for procurement of the equipment to be supplied within a scope of the project. All tender documents were openly published on the public procurement website in Norway - Doffin.no, on the Tenders Electronic Daily (TED) public procurement website in Europe, and on the Nordisk Sikkerhet’s website:
1). Tender for supply of multifunctional survey meters for the detection of RN materials: Doffin (2018-891301), EU Tenders Electronic Daily (2018/S 054-120684);
2). Tender for supply of isotope identification devices (gamma spectrometers): Doffin (2018-312405), EU Tenders Electronic Daily (2018/S 050-112018);
3). Tender for supply of RN material hand-held detectors and personal dosimeters: Doffin (2017-643256), EU Tenders Electronic Daily (2017/S 215-448055);
4). Tender for supply of personal protective equipment (PPE): Doffin (2018-635123), EU Tenders Electronic Daily (2018/S 054-120681)
In total 14 offers from 8 various organizations from Lithuania, United Kingdom, Germany, and Ukraine were received and evaluated by Nordisk Sikkerhet. A total of four tender evaluation reports (one for each tender) were prepared by the Nordisk Sikkerhet experts, which served as a basis for award of the corresponding equipment supply contracts.

Completed
All the equipment, e.g. 50 electronic dosimeters, 50 detectors (with gamma and neutron channels), 5 isotope identification devices, 10 multifunctional survey meters (with alpha, beta, and gamma channels), 50 sets of personal protective equipment were produced, tested, delivered, commissioned, and handed over to the Zhytomyrskyi border detachment.
The project raised the detection and mitigation capability of the SBGS to help prevent and manage the illicit trafficking of nuclear and radiological material through the vulnerable Ukrainian-Belarusian border and through the perimeter and territory of the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone.
