On June 28, 2012 the official ceremony for SEC NRS entrance to ETSON members was held in Helsinki (Finland) during the European Technical Safety Organisations Network (ETSON) General Assembly. The documents about recognition of the scientific and technical support organization for Rostechnadzor as an associated member of ETSON were signed by Jacques Repussard, President of ETSON, Director General of IRSN and Alexander Khamaza, SEC NRS Director.

The European Technical Safety Organisations Network (ETSON) was founded in 2006 by the scientific and technical support organizations of France (IRSN), Germany (GRS) and Belgium (AVN) (the current name is Bel V) in order to strengthen and secure the current successful practice of cooperation, as well as to enter the nuclear review market in a status of an integrated highly qualified expert. The activity of ETSON member states is also aimed at support of the national regulatory authorities in all scientific and technical issues related to nuclear and radiation safety. In 2010, ETSON was joined by UJV / NRI (Czech Republic), VTT (Finland) and LEI (Lithuania), SSTC NRS (Ukraine) and the Network, in line with the French legislation, acquired the status of an Association.
