Description
The research strategy of the Swiss Federal Nuclear Safety Inspectorate ENSI contains several objectives, which refer to the competence and independence of expertise ENSI needs to fulfil its duties:
- Maintaining and expanding ENSI's own expertise and that of ENSI's external specialists;
- Developing independent expertise by preferring research projects carried out by specialists who will also be able to undertake expert work for ENSI without conflicts of interest at a later stage;
- Fostering international integration through research projects like benchmarks in which ENSI and/or its experts participate;
- Making ENSI more attractive to new employees by establishing a key function for ist specialists to follow Research Projects.
The regulator’s research programme can have a significant impact on competent and independent expertise. The key to this is anticipating future supervisory needs.
