Description : About the Customer: The Norwegian Radiation Protection Agency and Nuclear Safety (DSA) is a specialist and management authority in the areas of nuclear security and security, radiation protection, radioactive pollution and radioactive waste.

The update was made in connection with an order to the holder of a licence that includes safety assessments for critiqueality.2) This part of the assignment includes support to DSA ́s inspection assignments, mainly reviewing and assessing, connected to facilities and activities connected with dealing with nuclear fuel. These assignments are solved on an hourly basis in accordance with requests from the DSA. DSA ́s maximum budget for the entire assignment, both parts 1 and 2, is NOK 3,500,000.
