Cooperation with the Nuclear Regulatory Authority of the Slovak Republic (ÚJD) is the most extensive and intensive bilateral cooperation for the State Office for Nuclear Safety (SÚJB). Contacts are rather informal, i.e. they are primarily made during consultations over specific problems on the level of inspectors and on different managerial levels. With respect to partially different institutional arrangement in Slovakia, the cooperation primarily deals with nuclear safety, practical measures on nuclear material non-proliferation and coordination at various international forums, mostly IAEA and EU. In practice, questions of regulatory practice both in the individual cases (operational events at Dukovany, Bohunice and Mochovce nuclear power plants) and on the system level (legislation, procedures) are discussed within the framework of this bilateral cooperation. There is an advantage in having very similar technology installed at the nuclear power plants and in lack of language barrier. Joint inspections at selected facilities are organized on a regular basis.
