The Swedish Nuclear Power Inspectorate's regulations concerning safety in certain nuclear facilities; General recommendations concerning the application of the Swedish Nuclear Power Inspectorate's regulations above

From 1 July 1999 new general safety regulations are in force in Sweden. The regulations apply to all nuclear facilities with a Government permit to conduct nuclear activities. The new regulations replace a large number of individual licence conditions issued over a number of years. These regulations apply to the following types of nuclear facilities for which permission to conduct nuclear activities is issued by the Government on the basis of paragraph 5 of the Act (1984:3) on Nuclear Activities or corresponding provisions of the Atomic Energy Act (1956:306): a nuclear power reactor; a research or materials testing reactor; a facility for the fabrication of uranium pellets and fuel bundles; a facility for the storage or other handling of spent nuclear fuel; a facility for the storage, processing or final disposal of nuclear waste. However, the regulations do not apply to a facility for the final disposal of nuclear waste which, with due permission; has been closed and is, thereby, no longer subject to operational surveillance or maintenance; transfers of nuclear material or nuclear waste outside a facility's area of operation
