ABOUT CENS
|
The Center for Nuclear Safety (CENS) in Central and Eastern European Countries (CEEC) traces its origins to bilateral, technical co-operation projects of the Swiss Federal Nuclear Safety Inspectorate (HSK) in the late 1990s. Funding for these projects was provided by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), which supported the development of the CENS as a new approach to technical co-operation between regulatory bodies of East and West. Designing the CENS involved close collaboration between the HSK, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), GRS (Gesellschaft fur Anlagen- und Reaktorsicherheit mbH), and the Nuclear Regulatory Authority of the Slovak Republic (UJD).
After two years of preparation, the CENS in Bratislava was registered in March 2002 as a non-profit civil association, and opened its doors in May 2002. As a location, Bratislava is ideal for the participation of Eastern and Western stakeholders as well as international organizations.
Financing for the initial phase of the CENS is guaranteed by the Swiss government, represented by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation, while technical and organizational support is provided by the Swiss Federal Nuclear Safety Inspectorate
