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

The Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority aims to better meet the needs of its customers by renewing its supervision and licensing information system. The development of the new STURE system is part of a broader strategic program for developing supervision.

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.
