News are produced in real time, and STUK must be prepared to answer the immediate demand for information. STUK makes arrangements to provide expert answers to radiation and nuclear safety related questions around the clock. One of the key questions in communication is how information provided by STUK is presented in the media. The goal is to prepare for communication events in advance: STUK develops cooperation with the media and provides journalists with basic information about radiation and nuclear safety in seminars.
To deal with potential radiation accidents and abnormal events that call for special communication, STUK will ensure that it can launch a situation-specific website if required. Exceptional situations require reliable pages that can be implemented without delay and are able to serve a large number of users without crashing. In the case of radiation accident, the need for information would go beyond national borders. STUK will prepare for demanding international communication situations by increasing cooperation and information exchange with other countries, especially with the communication departments of Nordic authorities. STUK is also expected to be familiar with radiation and nuclear safety in neighbouring areas. Information about construction plans for new nuclear power plants, especially in Sosnovy Bor and the Kola Peninsula, are kept up to date so that reliable and professional comments can be made on the projects.
