Summary
Posiva submitted the construction licence application for the encapsulation plant and the disposal facility in Olkiluoto to the Ministry of Employment and the Economy (MEE) in December 2012. The MEE requested from Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority (STUK) a statement required by the Nuclear Energy Act section 23 and a safety assessment report required by the Nuclear Energy Decree section 36 in February 2013. This publication presents STUK’s statement, safety assessment report and the statement from the nuclear safety advisory board as required by the Nuclear Energy Decree section 37. The statement was submitted to the MEE in February 2015.
STUK’s safety assessment report and statement are based on the review of construction licence technical documentation and on the inspection programme carried out during the review. Based on the review STUK accepted Posiva’s preliminary safety analysis report, post closure safety case, probabilistic risk assessment of the design stage, proposal for a classification document, description of quality management during the construction of the nuclear facility, preliminary plans for the arrangements for security and emergencies, a plan for arranging the safeguards control that is necessary to prevent the proliferation of nuclear weapons, and the applicant’s arrangements for the implementation of regulatory oversight by STUK. The inspection programme focused on Posiva’s safety culture, organization, management system, resources, competence and procedures. Inspections in accordance with the programme were extended also to Posiva’s suppliers.
In STUK’s safety assessment report and statement STUK concludes that, based on Posiva’s construction licence application documentation, the encapsulation plant and the disposal facility for spent nuclear fuel proposed by Posiva can be constructed to be safe. Radiation doses for workers and local residents arising from the operation of the encapsulation plant and the disposal facility will be below the limits given in legislation with high probability. After the closure of the disposal facility radiation exposure for local residents and other biosphere will fall below the regulatory limits with high probability. As part of the radiation and nuclear safety review STUK assessed that Posiva’s organization, management system, resources, arrangements for security, emergency preparedness and safeguards are at a sufficient level, so that the project can be carried out safely.
