As a blueprint for the organisation of the assistance in decommissioning the profile of the Chernobyl
shelter fund was chosen:
Countries willing to contribute to the fund ('donors') were searched for. Motivation should be the
commitment to support international nuclear safety issues and the solidarity with the affected
countries.
The fund members contributing at least EUR 1.5 million and the affected country constitute a
fund:
IIDSF (Ignalina International Decommissioning Support Fund) for Ignalina/Lithuania 17
members;
KIDSF for Kozloduy/Bulgaria 12 members;
BIDSF for Bohunice 10 members.
Fund members constitute a donor’s assembly for the respective fund as the highest decisionmaking
body. The assembly decides on projects and funds. The receiving country is a non-voting
member.
The EBRD acts as
a) A secretariat for the donor’s assembly, communicating and presenting projects for decisions
to be made;
b) A fund manager, it collects money from the donors, spends money for the projects, and
administers money that was not spent;
c) A financial controller checks and controls money spending;
d) A procurement and implementation controller.
The structure is illustrated in Figure 30.
