Description of Projects. Essentially, the projects are described through the respective Project Fiche. Most projects pertain to the field of institution building, supporting either the nuclear safety authority or agencies entrusted with specific duties regarding radioactive waste management or similar tasks. The revised PHARE Guidelines acknowledge that pre-accession financial assistance in the field of nuclear safety demands a distinct approach. Due to their specific technical nature and with the aim of enhancing public safety, the investment projects supported by this programme do not necessarily correspond to the general criteria of being catalytic, co-financed, or additional. The projects have, however, been chosen for being sufficiently mature and able to contribute to a sustainable improvement to the level of nuclear safety within their specific objectives. As a general consideration, the project should enhance the accession process in the candidate country. This programme allocates financial assistance to the following projects: 632.01.01 Supply of equipment for characterisation of institutional radioactive waste and development of technical design for waste processing and storage facility 632.01.02 Assistance to regulatory activities of the Bulgarian Nuclear Safety Authority (BNSA) with regard to improving management of high-activity sealed radioactive sources
