In partnership with the nuclear regulator, the Enterprise confirmed its commitment for full transparency of the NDF construction project management procedures
On 14 October 2025, the Information Centre for Decommissioning of State Enterprise Radioactive Waste welcomed journalists covering energy field topics from national and regional media outlets within the framework of a two-day training seminar organized by the Bulgarian Nuclear Regulatory Agency. The Chief Engineer of Specialized Division National Disposal Facility, Ira Stefanova, introduced the media representatives in detail to the current status and background of the project for construction of the National Disposal Facility for Low- and Intermediate-level Radioactive Waste. The main interest of the media was primarily focused on topics related to the deadlines for commissioning of the facility, as well as the amount of funding and project funding sources. For the sake of comprehensiveness, the SERAW Executive Director, Dilyan Petrov, and representatives of the Enterprise’s management, also joined the discussion.
After being introduced clarity into the licensing procedure and current issues and solutions, the journalists visited Radiana site and had the opportunity to witness a demonstration of a remotely controlled operation of moving a reinforced concrete container for radioactive waste using the SCADA management and control system, which will be used to arrange the RAW packages in the disposal facility. They also closely examined in-situ the disposal cells, the mobile roofs and the Auxiliary Buildings of the National Disposal Facility.
