Foreword

This report is issued according to Article 5 of the Convention on Nuclear Safety. Sweden signed the Convention on September 20, 1994, the first day it was open for signing, during the ongoing General Con- ference at IAEA. The Convention was ratified about a year later, on September 11, 1995 and it entered into force on October 24, 1996.

The first national report on the Swedish implementation of the obligations under the Convention was issued in August 1998. The second national report was issued in August 2001 and the third in August 2004. All reports are available on the CNS website as well as on the website of the Swedish Nuclear Power In- spectorate (www.ski.se). The reports were well received at the review meetings held 1999, 2002 and 2005 respectively.

A summary of highlights and issues raised about Sweden during the third review meeting 11–22 April 2005 can be found in section A 6. This section also includes an overview of those issues Sweden was asked to report about in its fourth national report (the present report).
