We also work together with the UN’s International Atomic Energy Agency (the IAEA) and the European Commission.

The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority issues regulations governing the planning and undertaking of dismantling activities; what’s more, the Authority performs checks to ensure that the...

Physical protection
The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority imposes requirements for the physical protection of nuclear facilities and transports, for example protection against attacks and thefts of nuclear material. We monitor and check that the nuclear power industry complies with these requirements. We also help to ensure interaction between man, technology and organisation in a way so that physical...
