Kazakhstan to exchange radiation monitoring data with CIS countries
Senate deputies have approved the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan “On the Ratification of the Agreement on Cooperation Among CIS Member States in the Exchange of Radiation Monitoring Data,” Qazinform News Agency correspondent reports.
The agreement was signed on June 8, 2023, in Sochi. It provides for the exchange, analysis, and forecasting of radiation monitoring data among CIS member states.
Under the framework of information cooperation, the authorized bodies of the parties will ensure:
- systematic exchange of monitoring data;
- reliability of transmitted information;
- advance notification in case of inability to transmit data due to unforeseen circumstances;
- use of received information strictly within the scope of the agreement.
At the same time, the agreement applies only to data from the state radiation monitoring system and does not extend to information related to the monitoring of nuclear energy facilities.
In addition, a unified procedure for data exchange will be developed and approved by the CIS Commission on the Peaceful Use of Atomic Energy. The document will define the scope, formats, and timelines for data transmission and archiving, as well as the rules for data exchange and the contact details of authorized bodies.
The ratification of the agreement is expected to enhance nuclear and radiation safety and strengthen cooperation among CIS countries in this area.
Earlier, Qazinform News Agency reported that Kazakhstan’s Majilis had approved the agreement on cooperation among CIS member states on the exchange of radiation monitoring data.
