QQ Ministerial officials from 33 European and Asian countries agreed at a forum Tuesday that all countries with nuclear facilities should conduct "stress tests" and safety reviews in order to enhance international cooperation on nuclear safety."The Fukushima accident in Japan shook us all and the need arose very quickly to draw lessons, to improve and lift our standards and cooperation on nuclear safety," French Ecology and Sustainable Development Minister Nathalie Kosciusko-Morizet said at a press conference after chairing a nuclear safety forum, co-hosted by France and the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency.
The conference at the headquarters of the Paris-based Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) was attended by ministerial officials from Germany, Swiss, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Japan and India, as well as NEA Director-General Luis Echavarri.
The delegations have reached broad consensuses on implementing stress tests on nuclear facilities all over the world, taking peer review system and strengthening some international conventions, said Srikumar Banerjee, chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission of India.
Extending responsibility from national to international level with regard to nuclear safety was endorsed by all participants, though Germany has turned its back against nuclear power while others like India and France are engaged in developing new nuclear plants.
Nevertheless, Swiss Energy Minister Doris Leuthard voiced tougher requirements on the peer reviews system.
Swiss government hopes that "these peer reviews would not only be conducted on the voluntary basis, but also be mandatory," Doris said.
G8 leaders agreed at a summit in southern France last month that nuclear safety should be addressed as top priority and "the highest levels of safety worldwide" were in need.
The forum under France's chairmanship also agreed to reinforce the global role and mission of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) as well as safety activities of the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency.
