Role of the TSO in Public Information/ Debate Openness, TransparencyTechnical support to regulatory body for the new NPP (OL3) project Keijo Valtonen International Conference on the Challenges Faced by Technical and Scientific Support Organizations in Enhancing Nuclear Safety Aix-en-Provence 23-27.4.2007

  2. Olkiluoto 3 licensing phases Operating License 2008 Construction Construction Permit 2004-2005 Technical part Preparatory phase Decision in Principle Political part 2000-2002 Feasibility study Environmental Impact Assessment 1998-2000

  3. TSO Support at Olkiluoto 3 ReviewStakeholders involved in the licensing

  4. TSO Support at Olkiluoto 3 Review Criteria for TSO’s; • Competent organisation to carry out EPR analysis • Independent from the licensee • Codes independent from the licensee’s codes • Adequately validated safety codes for EPR Main TSO which were used in OL3 licensing was • Technical Research Centre of Finland (VTT) Other TSOs • Lappeenranta Technical University • Institute for Safety and Reliability (ISar) • Gesellschaft fur Anlagen und Reaktorsicherheit (GRS) Codes used by TSO’s • TRAB3D/SMABRE (VTT) • APROS (VTT) • ATHLET (ISar)
