drawing notably on the experience of the operators, on site and external assistance programmes as well as consulting and related activities aiming at safety improvements of the design, operation and maintenance of nuclear power plants that are currently licensed and other existing nuclear installations so that high safety levels can be achieved,

This report concludes that the “safety improvement programme for the Temelin units has been the most comprehensive so far for this reactor type. Completion of these programmes at [.] Temelin is essential to remove the few remaining deviations at these plants with regard to achieving a high level of nuclear safety”.

3. Calls on the Japanese authorities to re-assess all the safety procedures, including the safety training programmes of the employees in every one of their existing nuclear plants in cooperation with the IAEA and further calls on the Japanese authorities not to allow the resumption of reprocessing activities at the Tokaimura plant until a full enquiry has taken place;
