interactions in the processes of the Management<br />

System.<br />

The expectations of stakeholders are taken into account when <strong>STUK</strong>’s strategy, action<br />

programmes for core processes <strong>and</strong> annual plans are prepared. <strong>STUK</strong> actively collects<br />

feedback through meetings, surveys <strong>and</strong> interviews from all interested parties. For<br />

regulatory control of nuclear facilities regular meetings are held between <strong>STUK</strong> <strong>and</strong><br />

licensees top management. Special outage meetings are arranged before <strong>and</strong> after<br />

outages at NPPs, in which the licensee’s <strong>and</strong> <strong>STUK</strong>’s needs <strong>and</strong> experiences are<br />

discussed. Feedback is also received in conducting regulatory control of activities <strong>and</strong><br />

facilities.<br />

During the preparation process of the regulatory guides they are circulated for<br />

comments to the interested parties such as licensees <strong>and</strong> operators. The <strong>STUK</strong> guide<br />

extranet, which opened in the summer of 2010 (https://ohjeisto.stuk.fi), makes<br />

publicly available drafts of the YVL Guides, ST Guides <strong>and</strong> VAL Guides under<br />

preparation or revision. (Guides <strong>STUK</strong> 3.3, YTV 3.2 <strong>and</strong> SKV 10.1).<br />

According to (Guide <strong>STUK</strong> 6.5) all stakeholder <strong>and</strong> customer inquiries are planned as a<br />

part of action programmes for core processes <strong>and</strong> the realization is included in annual<br />

plans. Inquiries can also be contracted to an outside company. Results are inputs for the<br />

management review. If necessary, corrective measures are taken<br />

Guide <strong>STUK</strong> 6.5 includes also guidance on rectification <strong>and</strong> notification processes.<br />

Dissatisfaction towards <strong>STUK</strong> operations can be expressed either in writing or orally.<br />

The primary place for reacting towards rectification <strong>and</strong> notifications is the appropriate<br />

organizational unit. If a customer requests e.g. that a change should be made to a<br />

statement or an order presented in the inspection protocol, he/she is asked to prepare<br />

a justified rectification request in writing. The same procedure is followed when a<br />

customer argues that essential facts require that a change should be made in a <strong>STUK</strong><br />

decision.<br />

PQ 10<br />

When identification actions based on feedback from stakeholders it is always carefully<br />

taken into account that they are in compliance with regulatory functions <strong>and</strong><br />

responsibilities for safety.<br />

The final decisions on actions taken on the basis of stakeholder feedback are always<br />

taken by <strong>STUK</strong>. According to Guide <strong>STUK</strong> 3.1 one of the main principles is the legality.<br />

In addition, the safety significance of the h<strong>and</strong>led issues shall be recognised <strong>and</strong> the<br />

emphasis on ensuring safety shall be given in <strong>STUK</strong>’s regulatory activities.<br />
