General information
State Enterprise Radioactive Waste Management Agency (RATA) was established to implement the management and final disposal of all transferred to it radioactive waste (RW), generated by the Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant (INPP) during the operation and decommissioning process, and RW from small producers (hospitals, industry, research institutions etc).Existing storage facilities do not conform to the requirements and standards of the repositories and cannot be used for final disposal of radioactive waste. It will be the RATA's task to construct and operate the repositories for short-lived and long-lived RW. Upon implementation of provisions set forth by the Law on Radioactive Waste Management, the Government of the Republic of Lithuania issued the Resolution No. 1487, dated 27th December, 1999, by which the Ministry of Economy was entrusted to set up the radioactive waste management agency. The Articles of Association were approved on 16th May, 2001 and registered on 20th July, 2001 by the Ministry of Economy. RATA functions in accordance with the Strategy of Radioactive Waste Management approved by the Government of the Republic of Lithuania, Resolution No. 174, dated 6th February, 2002. On the course of its activities, RATA shall observe the Law on Radioactive Waste Management of the Republic of Lithuania, the Law on Nuclear Energy of the Republic of Lithuania, the Law on Radiation Protection of the Republic of Lithuania, the Law on State and Municipality Enterprises of the Republic of Lithuania, and the other legal deeds of the Republic of Lithuania. As management of the radioactive waste is directly related with the nuclear and radiation safety, RATA's activity shall be licensed by the regulatory bodies, namely State Nuclear Power Safety Inspectorate (VATESI) and Radiation Protection Center.
