Our work to enhance safety
Nuclear activities in Sweden are not allowed to contribute to international proliferation of nuclear weapons. This is why the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority exercises control over nuclear material present in Sweden and monitors exports of nuclear material and nuclear products. We also work together with the UN’s International Atomic Energy Agency (the IAEA) and the European Commission.

The sun and sunbeds
Many Swedes enjoy spending time in the sun and getting a suntan. However, strong sunlight has its disadvantages. Skin cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer in Sweden, and the incidence of skin cancer is quickly increasing. Root causes are deemed to be increased exposure to ultraviolet radiation from the sun and use of tanning salons and sunbeds.

Nuclear power
Nuclear power currently represents approximately 30 per cent of Sweden’s national power supply. There are three nuclear power plants in the country, with a total of six reactors in operation. These NPPs are the Forsmark, Oskarshamn and Ringhals plants. The Forsmark NPP has three reactors in operation. The Oskarshamn NPP shut down two of its three reactors in 2017. The Ringhals NPP shut down...

Radioactive waste
Radioactive waste is generated in activities where radioactive substances are used. The largest amount is generated in Swedish nuclear power plants. Some of the radioactive waste comes from other activities involving radiation, such as healthcare, research and industrial operations. Radioactive waste is generated, for example, when end-of-life fire detectors have to be disposed of, in...
