MOSCOW, July 27 (RIA Novosti) - Russia's industrial safety regulator said Friday it would establish this year a system for exchanging information with the UN nuclear watchdog to ensure radiation safety.

The system will help Russia to comply with the International Atomic Energy Agency's code of conduct on radiation safety and security, which was revised as part of counter-terrorism measures following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in the United States.

"Rostekhnadzor and the IAEA are planning to set up in 2007 a system for radiation safety regulating bodies to exchange information in this sensitive field," said, Yevgeny Anoshin, an aide to the head of the regulator.

The official said a pilot project had been launched by the service to set up the database and train experts from regulatory authorities in Russia and other former Soviet republics.

At the request of the Russian watchdog, an IAEA mission will look into its operations in 2009.

In 2006, representatives of the Russian regulator attended 28 consultations under the aegis of the IAEA, and events arranged under 11 regional and international projects.
