Problems and Experience of Regulatory Inspection in Finland During Construction of Nuclear Power Plants

摘要

Following a description of the organisation of nuclear inspections in Finland and the provisions applicable to the different stages in control, an analysis is made of the typical problems affecting statutory inspection work. One key problem area is the availability and sufficient coverage of regulations at an early enough stage of the planned nuclear power plant project. Another source of difficulty has proved to be the availability and sufficiency of information at various inspection stages to enable timely decisions to be taken concerning the areas to be reviewed.
