Security control and clearance of foreign citizens
General

Forsmarks Kraftgrupp AB (FKA) issue instruction for the purpose to meet the requirements of the respective authorities and international conventions ratified by the Swedish government. In line with the new directives from The Swedish Nuclear Power Inspectorate (SKI) “Directions for Physical Protection” (SKIFS 2005:1), the Swedish Law of Safety Protection § 14 (SFS 1996:627), SvKFS 2005:1 and IAE directive INFCIRC/225 edition 4, FKA has therefore decided to increase the safety measures for all personnel working at and for FKA. As a consequence of this decision, the present routines of security clearance of all contractors working at and for FKA will be affected.
A contractor employing foreign citizens will have to provide to FKA a similar security and drug test certificate, from their home country, as required for Swedish citizens. This is to certifiy, according to reliable judges, in writing, a person’s integrity and reliability. The contractor (person authorized to sign the company) shall accept complete responsibility for ensuring that their employees and subcontractors are fully conversant with, and abide by the requirements of this document.

- that the person in question not has been object for verdict of guilt in court of justice
- that the person in question does not face a charge
- that the person in question, does not face a police investigation or is reported to the police

- that the person in question does not have any severe financial problems

- that the testimonials and certificates the person in question refers to are reliable

The contractor shall trough references or documents control the above.
Security control can, in addition, be performed by FKA as a random sample (spot check). The decision of such a safety measure is to be taken by FKA Security Management. FKA also reserve the right to make random test on the contractor’s personnel or subcontractor’s for the presences of alcohol or narcotics.
