2. For the licensing of construction of new nuclear power reactors Member States shall aim to develop additional safety requirements, reflecting the continuous improvement of the operating experience of existing reactors, insight gained from safety analyses for operating plants, state of the art methodologies and technology and results of safety research .

This is set out in Amendment No 12, for example, which provides funding for research into the safety of existing reactors (with priority for reactors in the candidate countries), as well as reactors of the new generation. In other words, it safeguards future nuclear power plants.

L. whereas the reactors in the Ignalina nuclear power plant are of a type that does not make it possible to achieve a sufficient level of safety and they therefore must be closed down; whereas principles and a timetable for the decommissioning of the reactors have been agreed between Lithuania, the Nuclear Safety Account (NSA) as managed by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development and the EU; whereas the Lithuanian Parliament, the Seimas ...[+++], has adopted a law on the closure of unit 1 at Ignalina in 2004 and the Lithuanian Energy Strategy states that a decision on the closure of unit 2 will be taken in the same year; whereas the NSA agreement prohibits re-channelling of the reactors, while the EU agreement implies that running the plant too long without re-channelling, or re-channelling, is in breach of the NSA Agreement,

NUCLEAR SAFETY IN THE CONTEXT OF THE ELECTRICITY SECTOR IN CENTRAL AND EASTERN EUROPE AND IN THE CIS Following a discussion of nuclear safety and related energy supply needs in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe and in the EC, the Council adopted the following conclusions: "THE COUNCIL, reaffirming its commitment to assist with improving nuclear safety in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe and the CIS, and its awareness of the need to pursue such improvements within the framework of sustainable medium and long term energy strategies for those countries; 1. recalls the Council conclusions of 7 December 1992 and of 25 June 1993 and notes the ...[+++] Commission report on "Community assistance in the energy sector to the countries of Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union"; notes the report submitted to it and to the European Parliament by the Commission on 9 December 1993 under the title "Nuclear safety in the context of the electricity sector in Central and Eastern Europe and the CIS"; 2. urges the Commission and the Member States, in the framework of their ongoing co-operation with the countries concerned and, in particular, in appropriate international fora; - to prevail on the governments concerned to agree to the earliest practical closure of the less safe reactors that cannot be upgraded to adequate standards of safety at a reasonable cost, - to press for the achievement of safety levels for new nuclear power plants and for those maintained in service, equivalent to those in practice in the European Union, - to seek actively the development of independent nuclear safety authorities enjoying adequate means and resources in order to ensure their effective operation, and - to promote the development and implementation of adequate safeguards and controls of nuclear materials and installations. 3. supports, through the relevant European Union and Member States' means taking into account the wider energy situation and the individual charac ...

Nuclear safety The European Union/Russia nuclear safety programme, funded by TACIS, focusses on four different but complementary topics: assistance on six nuclear sites, by which experience is transferred in the operation of nuclear plants; design safety, comprising safety studies relating to the appraisal, definition and remedial proposals for VVER, RBMK or fast breeder reactors; support to regulatory authorities for the development of a strong tech ...[+++]nical and legal basis in fields such as licensing, training and inspections; the waste and fuel cycle, providing advice on management of waste and matters such as the transport of fuel.
