Related organisations

As a public company, Enresa is subject to the regulatory control of a number of different organisations.

The Ministry of Industry is the organisation in charge of establishing the management policy to be implemented in relation to radioactive waste.

The Nuclear Safety Council is the Spanish authority responsible for nuclear safety and radiological protection.

The Committee for the Tracking and Control of the Fund for Financing of the Activities included in the GRWP is the inter-ministerial committee in charge of supervising and controlling transitory investments relating the financial management carried out by Enresa.

Special mention should be made of relations with the Centre for Energy-related, Environmental and Technological Research (CIEMAT) and the State industrial holding company Sociedad Estatal de Participaciones Industriales (SEPI), which are Enresa shareholders and which provide continuous support and assistance in relation to the company?s proposals and needs.

Finally, and also particularly significant, is the relationship with the Spanish Parliament, to which Enresa reports on its activities and projects, communicates legislative needs and informs on technological innovations in its field of activity.

Financing

The financing system established at Enresa guarantees that future generations will not have to bear the burden of costs generated in the past.

Whenever a nuclear power plant, a hospital, a laboratory or an industry produces radioactive waste, Enresa undertakes responsibility for it and carries out a number of different tasks, such as its removal, transport, storage and custody. All these activities generate costs, which are to be covered by the waste producers themselves. The so-called Fund for the Financing of Activities included in the General Radioactive Waste Plan allows these expenses to be addressed and, along with the corresponding financial yield, constitutes the economic resources available to Enresa.
