Professional Emergency Response Team of NNC RK

Nowadays, the only professional emergency rescue team in the Republic of Kazakhstan to be able to take part in the elimination of emergency radiation accidents consequences is in the National Nuclear Center of RK. And not only the elimination of radiation accidents consequences but also the detection of orphan ionizing radiation sources (OIRS), radioactive materials and substances. Professional emergency response services and teams available in the Republic of Kazakhstan are not being able to take part in such works.
   Why in NNC RK? The enterprise is the owner of the unique experimental base, some objects of which are particularly hazardous, such as “Baikal-1” and IGR Research Reactor Complexes, “EAGLE” Experimental Test Bench. 
Logistic and maintenance support of the team is at the highest level and meet all the required and established standards. 
 Special attention is given to the maintenance of control bodies, forces and means in the established degree of readiness to respond at the emergency zones and carry out the operations on ES elimination that is greatly supported by regular trainings and exercises.
