Abstract

The article focuses on the development and management of the Slovenian Nuclear Safety Administration’s (SNSA) emergency response system and its Database of Interventions, established after the 1998 Dijon Conference to address orphan radioactive sources and comply with European Union legislation, including Council Directive 2013/59/EURATOM. The SNSA Database, containing about 300 records of interventions over 20 years, documents diverse cases such as handling orphan sources, radioactive waste, transport incidents, and false alarms, supporting a graded and optimized regulatory response. The SNSA’s system includes a 24/7 on-duty officer and coordinated multi-stakeholder collaboration to manage interventions effectively, with prevention and emergency response as key components. The database aids in trend analysis, resource optimization, and legislative updates, demonstrating Slovenia’s transparent and adaptive approach to nuclear and radiation safety regulation.
