Upcoming innovations in Belarusian government's policy on Chernobyl problems sketched out

First Deputy Head of the Nuclear and Radiation Safety Department of the Belarusian Emergencies Ministry (Gosatomnadzor) Leonid Dedul talked about planned innovations in the government policy on Chernobyl affairs in BelTA's press center. Leonid Dedul said: “We look at the resolution of Chernobyl problems as a cohesive whole, including by means of improving the legislation.

We may consider working out an individual law, which will combine the existing laws on the legal regime in the territories subjected to radioactive pollution as a result of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant catastrophe and on social protection of affected citizens.” Possible changes will be thoroughly analyzed.

A roundtable session involving representatives of Gosatomnadzor and the parliament took place the other day. Participants of the roundtable session discussed what has to be done here and now in order to improve Chernobyl-related legislation.
