Verification of European Commission at the ITREC plant according to the Article 35 of the Euratom Treaty

A team of inspectors from the Directorate-General Energy carried out a verification of the monitoring of the environment and radioactive discharges of the ITREC plant on 15-16 December 2015 according to the Article 35 of the Euratom Treaty. The verification included also the SOGIN and ARPA Basilicata laboratories, which are in charge of analysis of environmental and discharge samples.

The preliminary analysis of the verification results indicates good compliance with the requirements of the Treaty. There is no need for the Commission to make recommendations on the monitoring of environmental radioactivity in the vicinity of the ITREC plant or on the monitoring of radioactive discharges."
