Decision of the Council of State on the general regulations for the safety of nuclear power plants (395/91) and of a disposal facility for reactor waste (398/91)

摘要

As prescribed by the Nuclear Energy Act (990/87), regulatory control of the use of nuclear energy rests with the Finnish Centre for Radiation and Nuclear Safety. The functions of the Finnish Centre for Radiation and Nuclear Safety also include regulatory control of physical protection, emergency preparedness and nuclear material safeguards. In order to carry out these functions, the Finnish Centre for Radiation and Nuclear Safety shall, among other things, put forward the proposals for the general regulations for the safety of the use of nuclear energy as well as for physical protection and emergency preparedness. Based on the proposals by the Finnish Centre for Radiation and Nuclear Safety the Council of State issued on 14th February 1991 the general regulations for (1) the safety of nuclear power plants, (2) the safety of a disposal facility for reactor waste, (3) physical protection of nuclear power plants and for (4) emergency preparedness of nuclear power plants. The issue contains unofficial English translations of two of these regulations. (orig.). (Atomindex citation 23:044889)
