Director General’s Summary The following results and experience of strategic importance from the 1995/96 financial year should be particularly emphasized: SKI, a Significant Contributor to a High Level of Nuclear Safety in Sweden In summer 1996, the Commission of Inquiry for an International Review of Swedish Nuclear Regulatory Activities (International Commission) completed its work. SKI had requested that the Government appoint the International Commission as a stage in the evaluation of the performance and quality of SKI's activities. The International Commission, which consisted of international experts, found that SKI had contributed, to a significant extent, to a high level of nuclear safety in Sweden and that this work is still being developed. The International Commission was satisfied with SKI's regulatory activities in an international perspective and found that the regulatory activities are in accordance with internationally accepted guidelines, and that SKI's work is internationally appreciated. According to the International Commission, SKI is working with limited resources, by international standards, in relation to the size of the Swedish nuclear programme, especially if the fact is taken into account that Sweden has no Technical Support Organization (TSO) as in Finland, France and Germany. At the same time, the International Commission emphasizes that SKI should consider making certain changes to its work methods. In particular, the International Commission proposes that SKI, to a greater extent than it has so far, should develop its regulatory system on the basis of general regulations issued as part of SKI's Code of Statutes. This would partly involve a new regulatory strategy. The strategy that has applied so far is based on individual, plant-specific safety conditions. It was only as late as 1993 that SKI was authorized to issue general regulations. Furthermore, the International Commission recommends that SKI implement a modern system for quality assurance of its regulatory activities.
