Tiivistelmä
The Ministry of Social Affairs and Health invited a multi-professional panel of international
and national experts to evaluate the research activities of the Finnish Radiation
and Nuclear Safety Authority – STUK. The evaluation was based on extensive written
material, a site visit and interviews with a great number of scientists.
This evaluation was the second international evaluation and the panel noted with satisfaction
that STUK had carefully analysed and taken into account the recommendations
of the international review panel in 2000. Many of the recommendations had successfully
been implemented in organising the work tasks and the professional profi le of
STUK has also become more visible since 2000 both in the Nordic countries and in the
international scene.
The evaluation panel found that STUK has reinforced its position as a top research institute
in its fi eld largely due to the multidisciplinary know how and its integration in
the main European or international projects. STUK's research is in most areas of high
or even the highest quality. However, the evaluation panel made several recommendations
on management and scientifi c issues to reinforce the quality of research activities
at the Institute.
