The Regulatory Body
• CNCAN is a legal entity and institution of
national interest funded entirely from its own
income being in coordination with the General
Secretary of the Government
• Presently, CNCAN should decrease the staff
expenses with 20 %
Regulatory Body Staffing and Training
• Numbers of Staff : 136
• CNCAN established a training programme and an in-house training
programme across all Divisions
• Insufficient staffing in different Areas considering the regulated
installations
• Insufficient skills on radiation protection in new practices: cyclotron
& CT PET in nuclear medicine practice, permanent implant in
brachytherapy, screening in mammography and so on.
• Proposed Actions for training of CNCAN staff:
New comers: fellowships,
Regulators: workshops organized at CNCAN
headquarters or scientific visit
Notification - Authorization – Licensing - Inspections
strong points of the regulatory body activities in this area
•
•
the system of authorization-licensing & inspection is established and
is effective and efficient
CNCAN is improving and upgrading data base of the national Registry
of radiation sources and doses
the weak points of the regulatory body activities in this area
•
•
Needs for improvement of assessment and inspection process by
upgrading the procedures
Insufficient continuous training on radiation protection and safety of
qualified experts, recognized by CNCAN
•
Proposed Actions for training of CNCAN staff: workshops organized at
CNCAN headquarters or scientific visit
•
Proposed Actions for training of qualified experts and of RP trainers:
training courses organized in Romania
Strengths
- The Regulatory
Body is independent
and has clearly
responsibilities
- Regulations on
occupational
protection, public
protection, medical
exposure, radioactive
waste, and the
transport of
radioactive materials.
- The system of
authorization
inspection/enforceme
nt is established and
is effective and
efficient
Weaknesses
- Insufficient staffing
- Insufficient training
- The RP regulations
are not revised
- The assessment
procedures are not
revised
-The actual data
base system is not
appropriate
- Insufficient
continuous training
on RP and safety of
qualified experts
Opportunities
- Participation to
RER9096
Threats
Weakness of RB
authority with
consequences in
control of the
sources - radiation
protection and safety
Proposed Actions
• To increase the
capability of National
Infrastructure for the
Control of Radiation
Sources
•Finalising the project
of improvement of
data base system
• Fellowships,
• Workshops
• Scientific visit
•Train the trainers
courses
• Training courses
• To develop a National
RP Training Centre for
all persons:
regulators, RP
qualified experts, RP
officers, all kind of
practices workers.
Needs
• Employment
of new RB
staff
 Initial and
continuous
training of the
RB staff
 Continuous
training of RP
and safety of
qualified
experts
 Revision of
all regulations
 Revision of
internal
procedures
• Developing a
National RP
Training
