Objectives of SE «NNEGC «Energoatom»

An integrated management system (IMS) based on the requirements of state norms and rules on nuclear and radiation safety has been implemented in SE «NNEGC «Energoatom».

In order to ensure the achievement of the Company's objectives, regulatory requirements for nuclear and radiation safety, environmental protection, health protection, labor safety, etc. are combined (integrated) in the management system.

The Company's IMS includes management systems for nuclear and radiation safety, production, occupational safety, health and environmental protection, physical safety, quality, human and organizational factors, social development, data protection, trade secrets, corruption prevention, metrology, finance and economy.

The main document establishing the general principles that ensure the effective and efficient functioning of the IMS is the "General Guidelines for the integrated management system of the SE «NNEGC «Energoatom», which describes the powers, responsibilities and relations in the field of management.

The IMS requirements applied to the Company's activities take into account the classification approach based on the classification (differentiation) established in regulatory documents. At the same time, ensuring security is a priority over economic, technical, scientific and other objectives.

Scope of application of the integrated management system:

• production of electrical and thermal energy;

• performance of repair and installation works for reconstruction;

• development, design and manufacture of equipment, devices and special means;

• engineering support and capital construction;

• scientific and technical support;

• provision and management of resources;

• ensuring constant readiness for quick and effective actions in the event of nuclear and radiation accidents;

• buying and selling on the electricity market.

The integrated management system of SE «NNEGC» «Energoatom» as a single corporate entity was certified in 2016.

In 2019, the Company successfully passed a recertification audit regarding the fulfillment of the requirements of ISO 9001:2015 "Quality management systems. Requirements" and ISO 14001:2015 "Environmental management systems. Requirements and guidelines for use", as well as a certification audit according to ISO 45001:2018 "Occupational health and safety management system", which is confirmed by certificates of the international certifying body TÜV NORD CERT. Confirmation of IMS compliance with the requirements of international standards is performed annually according to the TÜV NORD CERT procedure.

The IMS certification according to international ISO standards is not only determined by the requirements of the IAEA and the State Nuclear Regulatory Inspectorate of Ukraine, but is also necessary to maintain the Company's status on the international market.

The presence of a certified management system promotes more active involvement of Energoatom in international projects, because Western partners mostly prefer organizations that have the above-mentioned certificates, and also increases the company's reputation and competitiveness.
