Description

Allan Hedin received a M.S. in Engineering Physics from the University of Uppsala in 1983 and a Ph.D. in Ion Physics from the same university in 1987. He has been working with post-closure safety assessments at SKB since 1994. He led the work with the safety assessment in support of SKB’s licence application for a spent nuclear fuel at Forsmark, Sweden, submitted in 2011, and is currently managing the update of that assessment for the next licensing step. Communication of the safety case to different stake holders has been among his responsibilities throughout his time at SKB. Allan Hedin is a member of NEA’s Integration Group for the Safety Case (IGSC) and has taken active part in a number of international projects organised within the IGSC, including international peer reviews of three safety cases. Through SKB’s international consultation services he has worked in advisory groups to several national programmes.

NEA membership consists of 34 countries representing 80% of the world's installed nuclear electricity generating capacity. The mission of the NEA is to assist its member countries in maintaining and further developing, through international co-operation, the scientific, technological and legal bases required for a safe, environmentally sound and economical use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes. It strives to provide authoritative assessments and to forge common understandings on key issues as input to government decisions on nuclear energy policy and to broader OECD analyses in areas such as energy and the sustainable development of low carbon economies. The information, data and analyses it provides draw on one of the best international networks of technical experts
