Project Aims
The project objective was twofold:

• to complete the upgrading of the radiation monitoring system in the Maria reactor building, and
• in each fuel element channel to fit out a modern monitoring device capable to detect during operation any defect in the fuel cladding integrity and in that way to minimize radioactive waste arising (liquid and gas) by measures taken at the source.

Project Results
The installation RMS and FEIMS could:

• help the IAE to meet the standards and requirements of the National Regulatory Body, the recommendations of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) as well the obligations imposed by the EU regulations ( Chapter III of the Euratom Treaty and the derived Directives);
• assure efficient radiation monitoring in order to increase radiological protection of the operational personnel and the environment;
• limit to the necessary minimum the exposure of the personnel to radiation;
• increase the reliability and safety of operation of the Maria reactor.

The budget for this project was: 400 000 euro.
