Tiivistelmä
STUK, the regulatory authority in Finland, has established a strategy for 2018–2022. Digital services,
tools and automation are becoming more common in everyday work. STUK will identify opportunities
for carrying out its regulatory work in new ways and with new tools.
One example of digitalization are DDSM (Digital Declarations Site Maps). The Additional Protocol
(INFCIRC/540 (Corrected)) stipulates that the member states shall provide the IAEA a declaration
including a map of the site. Site maps have been provided to the IAEA in various formats. In the past
years the IAEA has developed DDSM guidelines for the submission of the maps in digital format which
simplifies and accelerates the ingestion process into the IAEA’s Geographic Information Systems.
Finland and IAEA have tested these guidelines in practice; in 2018 Finland provided DDSM from one
NPP site to the IAEA as a test declaration.
DDSM benefits the regulatory work of STUK. They enable digital links between the maps and
declaration entries. This will result in improved information exchange with the operators and improved
data consistency reducing errors. DDSM are also an important part of the overall digitalization effort of
Additional Protocol declarations alongside with Protocol Reporter 3 and State Declaration Portal.
The goal is that Finland declares maps from all major sites in DDSM format in 2020. This requires
development of tools and practices in close cooperation with operators, the European Commission
and the IAEA.
This paper describes the development work done and experience obtained in STUK. Future
development needs and ideas will be presented.
