NKS-B programmet

The aim of the NKS-B program is to strengthen the following areas in the Nordic countries:

·         Radiological emergency preparedness

·         Management of radioactive waste and discharges

·         Radioecology and environmental assessments

In many cases, these issues give rise to considerable public concern. Activities on information strategies, management and technologies in relation to the themes mentioned above are therefore included in the program.

Within the aforementioned areas of action, two main aspects are given top priority:

·         Maintaining and building up Nordic competence

·         Maintaining and building close informal Nordic networks between scientists in emergency preparedness related disciplines

The objectives and application processes of the NKS-B program are described in the NKS-B framework.
