Project No. 9700

Emergency Measures for Implementation at the Pridniprovskiy Chemical Plant, at Kamyanske (formally Dneprodzerzhinsk), Ukraine

The Science and Technology Centre in Ukraine (STCU) is an international organisation involved in the non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. The STCU's activity is governed by the intergovernmental agreement to establish the Science and Technology Centre in Ukraine that had been signed by Canada, Sweden, Ukraine and the United States of America. Subsequently, the European Union replaced Sweden, and Azerbaijan, Georgia, Uzbekistan and Moldova joined the countries who had signed the Agreement. STCU's mission is to support research and development activities for peaceful applications by scientists and engineers formerly involved with the development of weapons of mass destruction, to advance global peace and prosperity through chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear risk mitigation by supporting civilian science and technology partnerships and collaboration that address global security threats and advance non-proliferation.
STCU is implementing a project (Project No 9700) for the European Commission involved in the remediation of the former Pridneprovskiy Chemical Plant (PCHP) which is located in Kamyanske (formerly Dneprodzerzhinsk), Ukraine. The project ie being implemented jointly with the Ministry of Energy and Coal Industry of Ukraine (MECIU) and the site manager, state-owned enterprise Barrier.
The principal objective of this project is to carry out a number of emergency measures designed to immediately improve the safety and security of the PCHP site. These measures are also necessary precursors to the long-term remediation of the site.
In order to achieve this principal objective, emergency measures will be carried out within the following four areas:
