Assessment of radiation safety in the nuclear power plants

The Radiation Safety Authority publishes the annual report on radiation safety in the Swedish nuclear power plants.

The 13th 2009 assessment of radiation safety in the Swedish nuclear power plants is now available. The overall conclusion is that radiation safety, nuclear safety, the physical protection including nuclear safeguards and radiation protection, in the Swedish nuclear power plants has been maintained at an acceptable level.

The barriers comply with the requirements, and improvements have been implemented to the defence in depth. Further, large investment programmes are being carried out to comply with the requirements imposed by the authority regarding modernisation. Management systems and internal audits have developed in a positive direction.

The Radiation Safety Authority has through its supervision ensured a comprehensive basis for this overall assessment of radiation safety.
