Introduction
This report is the Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority’s (STUK) account to the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment (MEAE) of regulatory oversight in the field of nuclear energy, to be supplied once a year under Section 121 of the Nuclear Energy Decree (161/1988). The report is also provided to the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health, the Ministry of the Environment, the Finnish Environment Institute and the environmental authorities of the municipalities where the relevant nuclear facilities are located.
The report is an overview of the regulatory oversight of nuclear safety carried out by STUK, and of the results of this oversight, in 2022. The nuclear safety oversight by STUK discussed in this report covers the essential oversight data that relate to design, construction, commissioning preparation, operation and decommissioning planning with regard to nuclear facilities. Additionally, the report covers the equivalent data on other use of nuclear energy, including nuclear waste management and nuclear materials. In addition to the actual oversight of safety, the report describes, among other topics, how the regulations that govern the use of nuclear energy were developed and implemented during the year, as well as discussing the main characteristics of the safety research programmes in Finland that deal with nuclear safety and nuclear waste management.
The report Appendices bring together the key events that occurred at the nuclear power plants, as well as the summaries of the inspections performed under STUK’s inspection programmes. Additionally, as required by the Nuclear Energy Decree, the report is accompanied by a summary of the licences that STUK granted in 2022 under the Nuclear Energy Act.
The STUK Financial Statements and Annual Report 2022 include an assessment of how the performance targets set out in the performance agreement concluded between the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health and STUK were met, also in respect of the regulatory oversight of the use of nuclear energy. At its website, STUK also reports the estimates of the doses to which the population is exposed due to the use of nuclear energy that are not ready by the time of publishing this report.
Based on the oversight undertaken by STUK, the use of nuclear energy in 2022 did not pose a risk to the population, society, the environment or future generations.
