DISCUSSION During my time in Finland, I attended the following meetings: • Eurajoki municipality on the island of Olkiluoto in western Finland, where the Onkalo deep geological facility is located (also home to one of Finland’s two nuclear power plants) • Posiva Oy – The operators of Onkalo (part owned by the Finnish nuclear power operators). Granted a licence in 2015 for the final disposal site at the location of the 500m deep underground rock research facility • Mr Olli Rhen, Minister for Economic Affairs and Employment. • VTT the leading R&D company in the Nordic countries • STUK the regulator of the nuclear industry • Ms Sanni Grah-Laasonen, Minister for Education and Culture • Patria – Land division, BAE’s partner for the Land 400 bid • Experimentation Unit, Prime Minister’s Department I offer the following reflections following my visit, which are relevant to the current process of consultation underway in South Australia. Technology and Capability South Australia’s mining and construction capabilities position us well to deliver on a large scale project. To unlock the value chain it is important to recognise these strengths, such as ventilation companies, data sharing, machinery, and to commence the processes early considerable time and costs could also be saved with adopting existing technology (estimates given of 10-15 years). Consent The Eurajoki community was able to exercise a right of veto and say no to the disposal project. Prior to Parliamentary approval being granted in 2000, the Eurajoki municipal council voted strongly in favour of the proposal. The community has over 40 years of history with nuclear power and receive continued benefits from this involvement, in the form of employment, revenue and infrastructure. Independent and trusted regulator The role of a regular is critical and the STUK is well respected and has built trust by having a clear role definition, operating transparently and being open about risks, communicating in a way people understand and working cooperatively with the media. Long term commitment The experience in Finland demonstrates the need for clear milestones that are supported politically to sustain progress for the duration of the project. Clear roles and responsibilities, long term and stable policy and strong expertise in nuclear are all critical to the success of any project. I also attended a number of meetings that were not related to the nuclear consultation process, and offer the following reflections: Minister for Education The Finnish Education system is renowned as a world leader. They have a single Minister who looks at education and care through from birth all the way through to mature aged life-long learning. They invest heavily in their education system on a universal basis so that people don’t have to shop around for schools because every local school is a good school. This is also assisted by their universal social housing and planning policies which means there are no “bad neighbourhoods”. They have achieved these results by focussing on play based learning in the early years and allowing teachers the freedom to teach each class as they see best. There is very little focus on system wide testing aka no NAPLAN. Teaching is a high profile profession and they invest heavily in teacher education. Patria Largely presented their Land 400 proposal and provided a site visit of their impressive facilities. Focussed on previous examples where they have transferred technology and capability as they plan to do with Land 400. Experimentation Unit The unit is focussed on reforming the public sector and by example broader community and business in Finland to be open to experimentation and be less risk averse. They have a very impressive digital platform that they use to engage people and enable them to connect and share ideas. There are some good opportunities to learn from them in our work reforming the public sector. They also use behavioural assessment as part of the analysis.
