Radiation protection
Radiation Protection Law in Sweden
In Sweden, there is an authority called SSM that works to promote and prevent people and the environment from the undesirable effects of radiation, now and in the future.
In 2018, a new law on radiation protection was introduced, with an increased responsibility for those who conduct radiation operations. Below you can read the new law. Some companies need to apply for a license to conduct radiation operations, while reporting obligations for businesses with low radiation content are sufficient.
