Funding


The funding of the research programme is provided by the State Nuclear Waste Management Fund (VYR) into which those responsible for nuclear waste management pay annually 0,08 % of their respective assessed liability. The current level of annual funding is 1,8 M€. In addition to VYR funding, research organisations may direct own funding into their research projects.

Use of the results


The basic aim of KYT2018 is to produce high quality research results to be used by Finnish nuclear authorities. The results of the research programme are, on the other hand, public and available to all participants. The long-term aim of KYT2018 is to maintain national knowhow in nuclear waste management and to promote collaboration between authorities, nuclear industry, and scientists.
