Radiation safety

The goal of our operations is a radiation-safe Finland. Radiation safety is created as a result of the work of people who know their responsibilities. We work in good cooperation with other authorities, organizations and the entire surrounding society, both in Finland and internationally.

Current issues

Throughout Finland at this time of year, the UV index exceeds the level requiring protection. Awareness among Finns of the cancer risks of UV radiation has improved, but sun protection for children has declined.

The eighth assessment meeting of the Joint Convention on the Safety of Spent Fuel Management and on the Safety of Radioactive Waste Management hosted by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) was held in Vienna at the beginning of April.
