The objective of the chair is to promote the training of highly qualified professionals in nuclear safety and radiation protection. To this end, the agreement provides, among other activities, the possibility of convening scholarships and predoctoral contracts, inviting international experts to provide additional training at the UPV and subsidize attendance at CSN seminars. In addition, the chair will collaborate in the design and delivery of ongoing training programs and will organize conferences on nuclear safety and radiation protection.

Monitor the radiological quality of the environment

 

The Nuclear Safety Council is the only competent body in Spain in terms of nuclear safety and radiation protection. It was created in 1980 and, since then, it is responsible for the supervision and control of nuclear and radioactive facilities, as well as for monitoring the radiological quality of the environment in a continuous and real-time manner. The CSN authorizes each nuclear and radioactive installation project, and examines and grants licenses to the people who operate in them. In addition, it is responsible for coordinating a response in the event of a nuclear or radioactive emergency.
