Swedish nuclear power plants at Oskarshamn and Forsmark to examine reactor vessels

5 March 2014

The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority has issued the decision that OKG AB (OKG) and Forsmarks Kraftgrupp AB (FKA) must examine the reactor vessels of the Oskarshamn 3 and Forsmark 3 reactors. OKG and FKA operate the nuclear power plants at Oskarshamn and Forsmark, respectively. The situation is a consequence of the manufacturing flaws discovered at two nuclear power reactors in Belgium in the summer of 2012. More
Public Consultation of Revised WENRA Safety Reference Levels

27 November 2013

WENRA's Reactor Harmonisation Working Group (RHWG) has reviewed WENRA Safety Reference Levels (SRLs) for existing reactors in the light of the lessons learnt from the TEPCO Fukushima accident. The revised SRLs are now subject to a 3 month public consultation for the period beginning on 1 December 2013 and ending on 28 February 2014. WENRA invites all interested stakeholders to comment on the proposals before they will be finalized. More
European centre for competence for Nuclear Safety

Our mission

WENRA is an Association of the heads of Nuclear Regulatory Authorities of the European Union’s EU countries with nuclearpower plants NPPs and Switzerland. There were two main reasons why the head of regulators for nuclear safety within the European Union and Switzerland decided to start a co-operation in 1999 in the framework of WENRA (Western European Nuclear Regulators Association).

WENRA Recommendation

The reactor pressure vessels in every European NPP should be subjected to a standardised review to check for manufacturing flaws.
