Set of criteria for licensing procedures

A general model of licensing procedures thought to be the most appropriate for small countries is discussed. Because of the similarities in the administration and economy of small countries, the licensing process proceeds on a step-by-step basis and the licensing procedures, as one of the steps in the is process, consists of two parts: a pre-licensing period and the main part, i.e. issuing of the license. A detailed discussion of the directives of the nuclear authority for the selection of the site for a nuclear facility is provided, together with some remarks on the directives for the other licensing procedures. The licensee has to provide a special answer in a specific case which need not agree strictly with the general directives. However, the licensee is required to give a detailed explanation of the other case. (author). 4 figs
