RARP fulfills all the safeguards accounting and reporting requirements of the I~A, ~ainian SSAC and the Rovno tkcility. The RARP project is carried out\\ under the Finnish Safeguards Support Programme ‘to Ukraine in close cooperation with the Rovno NPP, Ukrainian state authority MEPNS/NRA, Paks NPP and STUK According to the Ukrainian practice the program allows reporting to the IAEA through the central accounting system of the authority.
