RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE IRRS AND INIR MISSIONS
90 staff. Average age ~30. Active but not experienced.
Challenging duties and functions:
• Drafting legal documents
• Evaluating applications
• Monitoring and auditing construction, commissioning,
and operation
• Assessing nuclear safety for NPP, research reactor,
radiation facilities, etc.
In 2009, we invited the IAEA to conduct IRRS mission. Among
others, the most important recommendations from the Mission
are:
• VARANS should be strengthened without delay its human,
financial resources, and technical capability to meet immediate
needs for regulating both existing activities and, in particular, for
the introduction of nuclear power.
• VARANS should be provided with adequate technical
expertise to conduct independent review and assessment, both
now and in the future
13
1. Current status
In 2012, we have got the following recommendations from IAEA
INIR Mission (areas for further action)
• Resolution of the conflict of interest between promoting and
regulating nuclear power should be issued in a timely manner
consistent with the nuclear power program requirements
• Regulations should be issued in a timely manner consistent with
the nuclear power program requirements
• VARANS should establish procedures to augment its regulatory
staff by technical support organizations
14
1. Current status
• IAEA support
• EC support
• Bi-lateral agreements:
• Russian Federation
• Japan
• US
• Germany
• Slovakia
• Korea
• France
VARANS needs help in coordinating and receiving support!

RCF Meeting on 15 April 2011: Vietnam was selected to be
the second recipient country after Jordan.
RCF Meeting on 1-2 March 2012: RCF Action Plan for
Vietnam was developed. Accordingly, support activities were
identified, including a Seminar on Nuclear Regulatory Body
in Hanoi (Jun 2012).

3. RCF Action Plan and Outcomes
MAIN EVENTS
26-27 Jun 2012, a delegation led by IAEA DDG Flory and
OECD/NEA DD Yoshimura with international experts from 7
RCF member countries participated in meetings with Vietnam
Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of MOST, Vice Minister of MOIT,
MONRE, MOC, MPS, MOD, MOH, MOFA.

RCF MISSION TO VIETNAM
3. RCF Action Plan and Outcomes
Meetings focused on sharing perspectives on governmental
responsibilities for:
• safe and secure use of
nuclear power in Vietnam
• importance of having an
effectively independent and
technically competent
nuclear regulatory authority.
MISSION RESULTS
Strong Recommendation on Regulatory Infrastructure
The existing situation in which the regulatory oversight of nuclear
power is spread across numerous ministries is complex and may
result in significant overlap, inefficiencies and gaps in regulatory
oversight.
There does not appear to be an effectively independent regulatory
authority.
Regulatory and promotional functions of the different ministries
should be separated.
SOLUTION
Revision of the Atomic Energy Law
26
National Workshop on amendment of the AE Law,
19 Dec 2012
3. RCF Action Plan and Outcomes
MISSION RESULTS
Strong Recommendation on Technical Competence
Technical competence for nuclear power should be a top priority for
Vietnam. Scope should be expansive and include VARANS and all
other government organisations with regulatory oversight
responsibilities for the nuclear power programme.
SOLUTION
• A new centre on nuclear science and technology will be
established in cooperation with Russian Federation
• A project on regulatory technical competence development for
Vietnam will be approved in cooperation with Japan
• Continuous bi-lateral and international cooperation as well as
augmentation by technical support organizations
27
3. RCF Action Plan and Outcomes
MISSION RESULTS
Strong Recommendation on Legislative Framework
Legislative framework should clearly define responsibilities and
authorities for each ministry responsible for nuclear power
within Vietnam. The different ministries should have clearly
established protocols for interactions during all phases of the
NPP, from selection of the technology, site selection, design
reviews, licensing for construction and operation, oversight
during operation, and decommissioning.
SOLUTION
Revision of the Atomic Energy Law
28
3. RCF Action Plan and Outcomes
MISSION RESULTS
Strong Recommendation on International Cooperation
The international community should continue to support
Vietnam as it moves forward with its nuclear power programme.
SOLUTION
Continue work with the Regulatory Cooperation Forum (RCF).
