The aim of the project is to continue improving regulatory and oversight capabilities of the Nuclear and Radiation Safety Agency of Tajikistan (NRSA) in anticipation of active work to implement the commitments of the Republic of Tajikistan and international donors for remediation of uranium ore tailings and processing waste in the country. NRSA is in need of modern measurement and control instruments that are necessary to adequately perform its regulatory functions over uranium waste sites before, during, and after their remediation.
The aim of the current project proposed to be financed in the framework of the Norwegian Government Action Plan is to provide NRSA with new X-ray diffractometer, personal dosimeters, radiation detectors, backpack radiation detector, stationary gamma spectrometer, radon monitor, sets of portable devices for measuring field water needed for validation of the data submitted by site operators and for independent measurements and analyses of soil, water, air, and waste samples.
