Visit of Finnish delegation to the HAEA

Petteri Tiippana, Director General of the Finnish Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority (STUK) and Project Manager Janne Nevalainen visited Hungary between 30-31 January 2023 at the invitation of the Hungarian Atomic Energy Authority. The delegation was received by Andrea Beatrix Kádár, President of the HAEA and Vice-President László Juhász. During the meeting, the sides among other issues discussed the lifetime extension of the operating Russian-type pressurised water reactor nuclear power plants, the legal framework for the construction of new nuclear power plant units and the small modular reactors. As part of the programme, the delegation travelled to Paks, where they visited the Paks Nuclear Power Plant and the site of the planned new nuclear power plant units.

The latest similar visit took place in July 2022, when the two leaders met in Finland. You can read our previous article on that visit here.
