The assessment and monitoring of nuclear plants are based on laws, guidelines and underlying technical and scientific documentation, which transparently set out the safety requirements and criteria that ENSI applies for its assessments.

Below you will find some decrees that are important for ENSI’s activities.

• Nuclear Energy Act (NEA; SR 732.1)
• Nuclear Energy Ordinance (NEO; SR 732.11)
• Radiological Protection Act (RPA; SR 814.50)
• Radiological Protection Ordinance (RPO; SR 814.501)

Further important decrees can be found here (because English is not an official language of the Swiss Confederation, the decrees are usually not available in English).
