title: NORWEGIAN-RUSSIAN COOPERATION IN NUCLEAR LEGACY REGULATION: CONTINUING EXPERIENCE AND LESSONS.
abstract: Safe management of nuclear legacies arising from past activities is a critical issue in maintaining confidence for the continuing and future use of radioactive materials. Effective and efficient regulatory supervision of nuclear legacy management is a critical part of that process. The Norwegian Radiation Protection Authority plays an active role in bilateral regulatory cooperation projects with sister authorities in the Russian Federation, as part of Norway's Plan of Action to improve radiation and nuclear safety. Based on this experience and by reference to specific legacy sites and facilities, this study provides an overview of the substantial progress made in remediation at the Site of Temporary Storage for spent fuel and radioactive waste at Andreeva Bay and presents radiation protection issues arising from the experience and lessons learned in this work. It is suggested that this experience can be useful in the further development of international recommendations, standards and guidance on remediation of nuclear legacies.
