Director General's Summary

1997- a Milestone in the Development of SKI's Activities

More Clearly Defined Goals - Additional Resources

The 1997 financial year was a milestone in the development of SKI's activities.
First of all, the Government adopted SKI's proposal for overall regulatory, 
supervisory and activity goals in the agency directive for 1998, on the basis of the 
findings presented in the final report (SOU 1996:73) of the Commission of Inquiry 
for an International Review of Swedish Nuclear Regulatory Activities.
Secondly, the review of SKI's activity goals and the 1997 decision by the Government 
to close the Barseback nuclear power plant by shutting down the first reactor by July 
1, 1998, meant that SKI gained a hearing for its appeal for an urgent reinforcement of 
its resources. This was expressed in the budget proposal and the agency directive for 
1998.
Thus, through 1997's achievements in terms of more clearly defined goals and clarity 
about future resources, SKI has obtained a stable foundation for future regulatory and 
research activities. The negative tendencies that SKI had highlighted in previous 
annual reports have therefore been neutralized. Nevertheless, it will take a couple of 
years before competence and capacity are reinforced by the additional resources. In 
spite of this, SKI has already during 1997, started to focus on the new and more 
clearly defined goals for its regulatory and supervisory activities.
